We are going to cut to the chase of zeroing a red dot for you. [SPOILER ALERT] There is no perfect system or answer. Basically, you need to ask yourself a lot of primer questions to figure out what is the best for you. What are you mounting a red dot on? How far do you intend to shoot? Are your shot distances varying from near and far? Are all of your shots going to be the same distance? Are you shooting a league? Are you in a fixed hunting scenario? Home defense?
The questions can go on and on as you can see. So try to take into consideration all the parameters of your firearm and its intended use. With all of that being said, we will let Vortex Optics‘ info-graphic on zeroing a red dot speak for itself.
The above info-graphic that Vortex shared on their company’s Facebook Page had this statement to accompany it as well:
