Zeroing isn’t complicated, but the internet makes it feel that way. Here’s the version I actually use at the range.
The steps
- Bore-sight or get a rough zero close — start at 25 yards to save ammo.
- Fire a 3-round group from a stable rest. Aim at the same spot every time.
- Adjust toward the group center. Most dots move point-of-impact in clear clicks.
- Confirm with a fresh group, then verify at your real distance.
That’s it. The discipline is in the fundamentals — same hold, same trigger press, same spot — not in the gear.
Safety first, always: eyes and ears on, muzzle discipline, and know your backstop.
