The short version of how to sight in a red dot: confirm the firearm is unloaded, check the mount screws, fit a fresh battery, then get on paper at close range before you back up. Pick one zero distance and commit to it, shoot three-shot groups from a solid rest, and move the dot to

Sighting in a rifle scope is a hardware problem before it is a shooting problem. Get the ring height right so your cheek sits naturally on the stock, set eye relief with the rifle shouldered in your real shooting position, level the reticle to the rifle rather than the horizon, and tighten the rings evenly
How to Sight In a Rifle Scope: Mounting, Torque and Turrets Read More
Here is how to sight in a scope, whatever the optic is bolted to: confirm the firearm is unloaded, tighten and level the mount, bore sight to get roughly on paper, then shoot a three shot group at 25 yards from a solid rest. Measure from the center of that group, dial the correction using
How to Sight In a Scope: The Complete Process Read More
Learning how to use a crossbow scope comes down to three things: knowing what the stacked marks below your top crosshair represent, setting the scope to the speed your bow and bolt combination actually produces, and then proving every mark on paper at known distances.
