Zeroing your red dot isn't that hard!

Zeroing a red dot isn't as hard as we often make it.

Shoot 4-5 round groups. It's not a rifle so a few extra rounds will give you a better idea of where your dot is aimed. Draw a dot where the approximate center of the group is.

Do the math on paper (or the target) not in your head. Much frustration can be avoided by getting the adjustments right the first time.

Make exact adjustments from where you're hitting (the dot you drew on the target) to exactly where you're aiming. A drawn dot or contrasting paster can give a precise aiming point and reference point for measuring how far off you are.

We have limited time and ammo to spend on getting a pistol sighted in, so make it count. #SelfDefence #Firearm #FirearmTraining #GunLicence #FirearmLicence
