A proper zero ensures your point of aim matches your point of impact, giving you greater consistency and confidence every time you shoot.

Before you begin, make sure your optic is securely mounted and all mounting screws are properly tightened.

Key Steps

1. Zero at 5 Yards

Start at 5 yards and fire a consistent 3–5 shot group. Adjust windage and elevation based on your point of impact.

2. Confirm at 10 Yards

Move to 10 yards and fire another 3–5 shot group. Continue making small windage and elevation adjustments until your group is centered.

3. Final Verification at 15 Yards

Move back to 15 yards and fire a final, consistent 3–5 shot group. Make any necessary windage and elevation adjustments to confirm your zero.

Some shooters prefer to verify at 15 yards, while others choose 25 yards. Zeroing distance is not fixed—choose the distance that best matches your comfort level, shooting style, and intended use.
