About – Universal Marksmanship System

The problem

All scoped firearms require precise calibration to align the barrel and optic to the same point—a process known as boresighting. Mainstream boresighters, including collimators and lasers, have seen little innovation since the mid-1990s. These manual tools are designed to get your first round on paper but require ideal lighting, a known distance, and a gun rest. If a scope is bumped or compromised, recalibration can take up to an hour.

Manual methods lack the ability to collect, store, or verify calibration data—making it impossible to recall zero later. Worse, many boresighters are misaligned—left, right, high, or low—leading to time-consuming corrections and wasted ammunition.

The solution

Zero Verify is a patented digital boresighting and zero verification system that combines a smartphone application with strategically positioned sensors along the line-of-sight and line-of-bore. The smartphone becomes a smart boresighting tool. It knows if it’s tilted, shaken, or off-center. It tracks what your scope sees and how your reticle moves. Then it tells you — clearly and precisely — how to adjust your crosshairs so that it lines up with your barrel perfectly.

ZV uses a trigonometric method to synchronize the coordinate systems of the barrel and scope, linking directly to the app. The app computes a point onscreen—a red dot the user manually aligns the scope crosshairs to intersect. Users can create custom profiles, perform boresighting, and record calibration settings after physically zeroing at the range. Later, they can verify zero without firing a live round—even if conditions have changed.

The system supports a universal mounting kit compatible with most firearm and optic combinations—military, sporting, and tactical.

Research and Development

With seven granted patents and over a decade of research, Zero Verify is the first boresighting solution to leverage both smartphone technology and embedded sensors.

Founder and CEO Selso Tello’s pioneering work has resulted in a highly disruptive system—validated through simulation modeling, physical testing, prototyping, and comprehensive patent development. Selso continues to lead R&D, bringing engineers, database architects, and app developers into the fold to advance ZV’s capabilities.
