I followed your instruction, but could not hit a beer can at 1000 yards. I was actually glad it didn't work, because walking to the target made me thirsty.
Me too. Especially like the side view graph at the end at about 7:00. Most people if they’re like me just want you to show me. Don’t tell me show me. You do a great job of showing on this video thank you. Happy shooting, on target if possible.👍💯
From someone who has never sighted in a red dot, your instructions could not have been easier to follow unless I just paid someone else to do it. Thank you!
Maaaan. When I first saw that video I freaked out and laughed my ass off at the same time. First, just being realistic, my wife is drop dead gorgeous, but she's crazy as HELL. So at the end, when it got to the name and it was Tiffany, I about shit my pants. I showed it to my wife and even she was like, damn you men got us figured out.
This really is an excellent instructional. Clear and to the point. Its worth mentioning that, when determining your point of impact vs point of aim, you should take 3 shots. Once those 3 shots are in a tight group you can confidently begin making adjustments. If your shots aren't in a tight group you can't accurately determine how far and in what direction to move the dot/cross hairs.
One last comment about this vid. This is great to tell your friends that are just getting into red dots or zeroing in a scope. Too many sites just try to impress you with their knowledge and ZERO about how the hell to do it. Pass this on to your new shooters. I've already shared this link with someone that needs it CLEARLY and SIMPLY explained and demonstrated. Thanks Koda. This will actually help new shooters.
Was sighting in my new Sig Romeo 4 on my new AR with a laser bore sight. Red dot wasn't moving no matter how much I turned the "knobs". Though the sight was busted, it wasn't... the "knobs" weren't "knobs" they were the adjustment dial covers... Needless to say but I felt really stupid after unscrewing the covers. Thanks for the help got it as about dead on as I can with the laser bore sight as I can, can't wait to take it out to the desert and get it really dialed in.
Ha! Yeah, I’m glad I saw this vid. I’m going to sight my red dot in next time I hit the range, and I suspect after reading your post, I would have done the same!
SpookyCitrus Thanks for sharing that. I’ve been shooting for over 45 years but have only used iron sights, scopes and lasers. I’ve done plenty of stuff that makes me feel stupid but it’s OK as long as you’re SAFE. I just bought a Hi Point 995TS and took it to the range and ran a couple of hundred rounds through it. I’m going to buy a red dot and use a riser to keep my iron sights. This was a very informative video for me and I thank the author (and gave him a thumbs up 👍🏻).
I was zeroing mine yesterday for the first time. I'm happy to hear he's had scopes where the clicks were backwards. That was my case. Took me a couple mags to realize what was going on. Thought I was just having a bad day at the range😂
I would just like to thank you very very much 4 simplifying something that I was trying to show my son but he couldn't grasp it and being brought up since I was six years old shooting I learned from my uncle who was the Korean sniper and I first learned how to shoot instinctively with a 22 but she could not grasp quarter inch Moa and when you show it in hundred yard MOA clicks he grasped it better and working backwards he graph Stitt better that way because he is a learning disorder called dyslexia and I have to thank you because he grasped it instantly after your explanation so once again thank you so much God bless you keep up the excellent videos and some people just need it simplified peace save shooting and all the best to you and your family sincerely David
Newer shooter here, and I have always wondered how to this worked. Excellent job explaining this simple but much needed info. I have found 90% of most vids put so much BS and jargon in their content trying to impress everyone, that it turns off 90% of the audiance. This man kept it simple. Thx for the assist.
Great video. Simple and straight forward. Explaining this to students sometimes falls into one of those TMI situations. Any instructor with a lot of knowledge sometimes overexplains things and then the student ends up just as confused as when they started. This was a real good video that should definitely be shown at basic schools. Good job.
Thank you for making this so easy to understand. I just bought a red dot and I didn't have a clue how to zero it in. You made it very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!
Thank you, my friend. This was incredibly helpful. I’ve had a Ruger 10/22 for a few years and have gotten pretty good with it. I wanted to get into more long-range shooting and installed a red dot scope. I was overwhelmed but this video made it super simple to understand.
Thank you, going this weekend to zero in my Romeo 5, and this is tremendous help! Very clear, I watched the video 3 times since this is all new to me, first gun owner in my family generation apart from grandma that had a little revolver.
Thank you thank you for making and explaining all of this. Mine was off on my 223 to low 3 to 4 inches and to much to the left. 5 clicks on elevation knob and 7 or 8 clicks on windage and now I'm on the money. Thank you again very plain and simple. Awsome video and teaching
Bro outstanding video. yesterday was the first time that I’ve zeroed my weapon in less than nine shots. My previous four temps I wasted at least 70 to 100 rounds of ammo try to zero my weapon and then frustration kicked in and I just became very irritated . Thanks to your video presentation and knowledge that you have I was able to zero in nine-shots. Hitting the Bullseye on the eighth and ninth shot. Thanks again
Thank you, I’ve always used open sights w/ primarily lever rifles. No problem adjusting open sights. Never bother w/scopes of any kind. Finally picked up a red dot w/ no clue. If the instructions for the red dot made any sense, I would have no need for your video. Your instructions worked like a charm. Excellent
Good to see the (straight to the point) teaching tactics still exist. To be honest, reminds me of how my Drill Sergeant got things across to a platoon of 40+ knuckle heads. Get it? Got it? Goooooood!!! Now let's see it done!!! Many years ago. Keep up the videos!!! I'll keep watching!!!
Thank you for the video! I've watched 10 videos that showed the creator playing with there toys without any explanation on how to actually adjust the sight so thanks again 👍
I know it's been nearly six years, but thank you so much for explaining everything in such a simple manner!! Have my red dot coming in two days, so can't wait to apply what I've learned from you!!!!!!
Glad to see your neat method. I watched your irons zeroing video, liked it too. Neat explanation of MOA increments. Also, glad that someone is using the "budget/cheap" red dots, and not insisting on Aimpoints and EOtechs. I use and swear by the Field Sport Red Dot. That thing holds zero like a boss, and is durable. I did have to fix the little circuit board screws, which was kinda difficult, but it was worth it for what it's capable of. Great vid KB :)
Thank you. I bought a Bushnell TRS-125 (first sight/red dot I've ever purchased) and assumed this would be covered in the instruction manual. The instruction manual is basically one sentence that just says to turn the adjustments and be sure to replace the caps when finished lol. I thought I was going to look like an idiot at the range trying to figure this out. Now I feel like it makes sense, very informative, and maybe I'll look like I know what I'm doing. Off to the range now with my dad for his birthday :)
I'm pleased to report that it worked perfectly. My first grouping was bottom/left by 6 & 3 inches. The indoor range we were at was only 25 yards so I multiplied by 4 and got 24 & 12 clicks respectively. My dad said, "that's way too many; I think you should only do 6 clicks." I said "but I watched this video......" so I did 24 & 12 as calculated. My 2nd grouping was dead center. I think even the range officer was impressed that I got it zero'd on the first try because he was watching and gave me a smile.
Great explanation. If you don't know what the MOA clicks are, just adjust the windage and elevation until the red dot is centered on your point of impact same way you adjust every other sight.
Thanks man. To many people trying to help give advise that don't really know themselves lol. Finally found a source I can trust and easily understand. Keep up the good content!
Very good lesson! Keep them coming. There are always new 2nd Amendment participants who can learn. Experienced shooters can use a refresher and pass on this knowledge!
Thank you, I had no idea what MOA stood for. Most people don't realize that calorie is a unit if energy. Anyway the video helped alot, you're a great teacher. Tyvm
Good video, I bought an AR15 over the summer that came with a red dot, and this was my first weapon that actually has a red dot sight versus iron sights. I’ve only had the chance to take it to the range 3 times so far, and it’s proven to be a blast to shoot (no pun intended). However, I was wondering why when I would aim at the target, why my shots weren’t hitting the spot I was aiming at, and realized I had to compensate aim in order to hit my target. My shots had a trend of going up and to the left, so I would aim down and to the right. That red dot sight looks very similar to the one I have for my rifle, next time I go to the range with my AR, I think I’m going to bookmark this video and take some notes and see what I can do about adjusting my sights. This video has been very informative.
or... you can remove your upper , yank out the bolt and set it up so when you look down the bore at 25 yards you can see the bull on the target. then, without moving the upper look through the red dot scope and move the dot onto the target. It will not only get you on paper first shot but you dont even need to shoot it getting there. I first did this with just regular scopes on bolt guns. Yank out the bolt and look right down the hole.
Good explanation. The formula you want to put into memory is: 25.4 x inches divided by mils for range estimation. Once you know the range it's much easier to make adjustments.
Excellent! Thanks for your absolutely efficient/effective presentation! I'm about to buy a red dot and needed this background to understand the red dot mechanics I'm about to buy. I finally "get it"! Kudos, bro. You did it!
Just got SigSauer Romeo MSR, for now - installed it on my little trainer .177 air rifle. For rough initial zeroing was looking through ironsights and correcting elevation on red dot to point approximately at same point. Than calculated how many mm 1 moa at my shooting distance is (I'm one of that metric guys) and shot group of 3. After that corrected elevation accordingly, shot 3 more and corrected windage. And it was zeroed.
Your information was amazing, I literally listen for like 15 min walked down to my local range . I was able to sight it in with in a few seconds big help tks💪🏾😈
So if I got this right, I am in a weird way moving the bullet to the RED DOT using the dials and Not the Red Dot to the bullet , Yes ? That is why it is the opposite , yes ?
Exactly, my optical scopes are the same way. My only guess is most people can't wrap their brains around what is actually happening. You can't change the point of impact, you can only move the crosshairs or red dot, yet the markings would have you think otherwise.
Got my 1st rifle last week and my 1st optic today. I just roughed this out using a bore sight and a tree deep in the woods, hit up the range and test it for real this week. This video was great, easy to understand and showed me everything I think I need for my 1st run.
Your a great instructor, I had a parent that was a professor at BSU and you your teaching style reminds me of theirs. Awesome video for beginners I will definitely recommend. I was wondering if you could make a video for zeroing a red dot 🔴 and magnifier. I have the Bushnell your doing your tutorial on and the matching magnifier. If you have the time I would absolutely love to see a video on the combination of the two as I am a novice to scopes. I was always a 686/1911 kind of guy til recently. I picked up an AR15 and have mounted the scopes on my build. Hope to see a video soon explaining how to use the two in tandem. Thanks again for all your work and time.
The bushnell red dot is a great red dot for the price. I like it better than more expensive ones. This is great for those first getting into red dots or any other optic. Simple and clean
Thank you, I have had others explain it and I was still confused but you have a perfect explanation. Keep the the great work and keep people informed as some of us do t have anyone to teach us so we relay on videos like this and online instructions
Thanks a lot this is a great, simplified explanation, the whole moving the point of impact thing (as opposed to moving the reticle to your POA) was always counterintuitive to me. The easy way to put it is that if you are shooting low move your clicks up I always had that backwards as a beginner.
You presented the best explanation, and easiest to follow, for sighting these in. Thank you. I've always been an iron sight guy and I wanto to upgrade my handguns that can be upgraded. This helps!
Great video. As someone who prefers a fixed sight, I've shot with a red dot sights before, but I never adjusted one. You're video was excellent for someone new to zeroing red dot sights like me. In five minutes, I had the red dot sight on my crossbow pistol zeroed and hitting the bullseye nearly every time. Thanks!
When I was in the Marines (1971-1977), I actually trained and qualified expert at Pendleton with an M14 on the 600 yard range. A few years after boot camp, we were introduced to the M16. Our new range was about 30 yards, with the targets set at 25 yards. It was explained to us that we no longer needed to hit a man-sized target at 600 yards, and that an M14's .308 - with a 25-yard zero, would be dead on at 100 yards, while the 5.56's 25-yard zero would be about 1/2" high at 300 yards.
I assume that you mean the dot itself looking blurry. The most common issue is that you have the dot turned up too bright, so turn down the brightness to make the blurriness go away and also make sure to properly clean the lenses of the sight too.
Without knowing precisely what you mean: Red dot sights will very often show aberations for persons who have an astigmatism. I have a RD sight with which I cannot use my astigmatism corrected polaroid glasses. (Lens is a red haze with scores of tiny red glitters.) Works fine with non-polarized lenses with same correction. Or per earlier reply you may need to use lower brightness settings. If astigmatism is the problem there are fixes you could investigate.
Great video. It was really easy to follow and understand. It helped me to understand how to calibrate the red dot for my airsoft gun. Also I love your CZ- USA cap cuz I am from the CZ myself:)
I followed your instruction, but could not hit a beer can at 1000 yards. I was actually glad it didn't work, because walking to the target made me thirsty.
was it Busch Lite? or PBR?
@@SmileNDenile Ice House. I have a sophisticated palate.
At that distance using a red dot standard aiming is like playing on lottery . U need to learn different ways to aim in order to hit that can .

Perfect explanation
100 yards = 1”
50 yards = 1/2”
25 yards = 1/4”
So it’s just like math. 100=1, 50=1/2, 25=1/4
Makes perfect sense!!!!!
Except that one MOA isn’t actually one inch at 100yds.

I think you are right about adjusting the site, some of the red dot scopes are the opposite. Up means down and vise versa !
Great explanation, should be easy for anyone to follow!

or... you can remove your upper , yank out the bolt and set it up so when you look down the bore at 25 yards you can see the bull on the target. then, without moving the upper look through the red dot scope and move the dot onto the target. It will not only get you on paper first shot but you dont even need to shoot it getting there. I first did this with just regular scopes on bolt guns. Yank out the bolt and look right down the hole.

I love this vid. Best red dot sight explanation for beginners on UA-cam.
Got my 1st rifle last week and my 1st optic today. I just roughed this out using a bore sight and a tree deep in the woods, hit up the range and test it for real this week. This video was great, easy to understand and showed me everything I think I need for my 1st run.
Thankyou for this video, first optics and this explained everything.
Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. It is extremely helpful and I will pass it along.
Thank you for a clear video that didn’t waste any time with nonsense
Your a great instructor, I had a parent that was a professor at BSU and you your teaching style reminds me of theirs. Awesome video for beginners I will definitely recommend. I was wondering if you could make a video for zeroing a red dot 🔴 and magnifier. I have the Bushnell your doing your tutorial on and the matching magnifier. If you have the time I would absolutely love to see a video on the combination of the two as I am a novice to scopes. I was always a 686/1911 kind of guy til recently. I picked up an AR15 and have mounted the scopes on my build. Hope to see a video soon explaining how to use the two in tandem. Thanks again for all your work and time.
This was very detailed without being confusing . Excellent instruction ! Thank you !
Great 👍
The bushnell red dot is a great red dot for the price. I like it better than more expensive ones.
This is great for those first getting into red dots or any other optic. Simple and clean
My first RDS was the SS Romeo 5. Also a great red dot and I'd say a step up from the Bushnell. Just over a bill.
Thank you, I have had others explain it and I was still confused but you have a perfect explanation. Keep the the great work and keep people informed as some of us do t have anyone to teach us so we relay on videos like this and online instructions
I just found this video. Change the title to "I show you how to zero red dot. grasshopper."
Thanks a lot this is a great, simplified explanation, the whole moving the point of impact thing (as opposed to moving the reticle to your POA) was always counterintuitive to me. The easy way to put it is that if you are shooting low move your clicks up I always had that backwards as a beginner.
KISS: Thank you for once again proving this concept works!
Man.... Thank you for this video! It helped me a lot! Never understood how to zero a red dot... greetings from switzerland!
You presented the best explanation, and easiest to follow, for sighting these in. Thank you. I've always been an iron sight guy and I wanto to upgrade my handguns that can be upgraded. This helps!
Great video. As someone who prefers a fixed sight, I've shot with a red dot sights before, but I never adjusted one. You're video was excellent for someone new to zeroing red dot sights like me. In five minutes, I had the red dot sight on my crossbow pistol zeroed and hitting the bullseye nearly every time. Thanks!
I'm entirely unfamiliar with the use of optics, and this was a perfect primer!
Thank you sooo much... I have ALWAYS wondered, and you’ve explained it so well!! 🙏🏻
When I was in the Marines (1971-1977), I actually trained and qualified expert at Pendleton with an M14 on the 600 yard range. A few years after boot camp, we were introduced to the M16. Our new range was about 30 yards, with the targets set at 25 yards. It was explained to us that we no longer needed to hit a man-sized target at 600 yards, and that an M14's .308 - with a 25-yard zero, would be dead on at 100 yards, while the 5.56's 25-yard zero would be about 1/2" high at 300 yards.
Exactly. I use 30 yds for 5.56. A playing card size impact from 7 yds to 300 yds. Zero will be great at all the distances.
Thank you for your service.
Nice work explaining, very understandable.
Why did my red dot go to a splatter?
I have a B&T GHM 9 should I keep the
factory fixed sites up or is it a matter of preference?!
TY I subscribed 👍🏾
I assume that you mean the dot itself looking blurry. The most common issue is that you have the dot turned up too bright, so turn down the brightness to make the blurriness go away and also make sure to properly clean the lenses of the sight too.
Without knowing precisely what you mean: Red dot sights will very often show aberations for persons who have an astigmatism. I have a RD sight with which I cannot use my astigmatism corrected polaroid glasses. (Lens is a red haze with scores of tiny red glitters.) Works fine with non-polarized lenses with same correction. Or per earlier reply you may need to use lower brightness settings. If astigmatism is the problem there are fixes you could investigate.
Great video. It was really easy to follow and understand. It helped me to understand how to calibrate the red dot for my airsoft gun. Also I love your CZ- USA cap cuz I am from the CZ myself:)
Nice explanation Brother, well Done! Carry on
Thank you for the very helpful insight, Sir. Keep them comin’.
