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!
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.👍💯
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.
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.
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 👍🏻).
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.
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.
I have been shooting for 20 years but never zeroed a red dot. Thank you for sharing this information it is very helpful for us who have never used or zeroed before 👌
Just bought first AR and it came with a red dot. Went to the rant to sight it in wo reading the any instructions. I was turning the right “knobs” but nothing seemed to change. Then watched your wonderful vid and found out I need to remove those “knobs” for adjustment. Hahahaha. I was so frustrated. I’ll try again.
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.
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.
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😂
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
Watching this for my crossbows since g-ns are illegal in the UK. Pro tip for anyone interested, if like in the video you can't adjust it to be dead inbetween two boxes, adjust it to the high right, since most right handed sho0ters have a tendancy to pull low left when depressing the trigger. This is especially true for crossbows, where the trigger weight can sometimes be in excess of 3lbs of force (on bad designs).
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!
Outstanding explanation. Now, shooters have to make sure that proper sight picture, proper trigger squeeze, and proper breathing are applied during the zero process though.
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
I had to watch your video twice, but now I get it. And, I get it completely-- the math, the geometry, the logic of it-- everything. Thanks for using a simple approach. It was simply brilliant.
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
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
I used to turn the adjustment blindly, back and forth like I am cracking a safe or something, not knowing one click equals to 1 MOA. Used to take me a whole mag or more to finish the zeroing, now it takes like 5 shots. Really helpful video.
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, 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.
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.
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.
I was going to reply to the comment that went something like: "So, if I'm understanding this I have to zero again for every different range I'm going to shoot." After I signed in to you tube the comment disappeared. Any way, to answer that comment/question: First recognize that red dot optics are not for precise shooting at extreme ranges. As Kota indicated the size of most dots is bigger than the size of groups would normally shoot with more precise sights. With some practice you can reach out to a reasonable range with a dot sight, but basically they are for quick target acquisition at two hundred yards and in. Your windage adjustment at 200 yards and less does not change for practical purposes with differing range. The point of bullet impact coincides with your sight plane twice obviously as it rises up from the muzzle, arcs above the sight line and descends. So, for example, with a particular rifle and cartridge you may be sighted in for 25 yards and 100 yards. (The ballistic data for your cartridge tells you what the rise and drop is different ranges.) With some practice with your optic you can easily learn to adjust "hold over" and "hold under" for a given range without changing your sight setting.
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.
First time red dot and rifle owner, here... my red dot adjustment caps have the flathead screw driver style notch on the top of the caps. So, I just was able to remove caps, flip upside down and make adjustments that way without needing extra tools. Thank you for the video explanation. First time at the range, they were landing about 4 fingers low and to the right at 25 yards using iron sight and red dot (both new out of the box). Now that the adjustment make more sense to me, I'm eager to go practice more.
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
Super simple and clean, Thank You! I just purchased my first rifle, and I bought a new UTG Bug Buster scope. This will be my very first time ever zeroing a scope, but with the knowledge you just taught me, and all your other videos for reference, I'm pretty confident I'll get the hang of it over a couple range visits. Thank you sir!
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
Not new to shooting but new to red dots. I bailed on several other how-to videos until I found this very helpful & to the point instructional video. Thanks mucho amigo!👍
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.
Okay so just to clarify because I'm horrible at math, while using the same video... At 25 yards which is typically the length of an indoor range. TO ZERO IN I WOULD NEED 24 CLICKS UP AND 20 CLICKS RIGHT??? IS THAT CORRECT????
I don't know why I was flipping it in my head for so long but this finally made it click for me, Up and Right refer to the point of impact in relation to the dot, every time I thought about it I was adjusting the sight in the wrong direction because I was picturing lowering the dot down to where I was impacting instead of the other way around
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.
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💪🏾😈
Thank you for this. Simple to understand for a beginner to shooting. Just got a DDm4V7 and debating which optic but now I know how to adjust it. Thank 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 :)
Whether some us accept it or not this video cleared up any Q about "how to" do it the quick and easy way, thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge!
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.
That must have taken you some serious time and planning to draw that board graph and to be set up the way that you are. Very good job at making a great and educational video yourself, on a budget and very down to earth. Kudos my friend. Great video.
hi kota, reply from aussie land, down under. while we have had our guns taken from us, unless you are a roo shooter or a weekend shooter, i lhave always wondered how to zero in the red dot. you are the most practical instructor i have listened too. a lot of others like to boast them selves up, but you are very down to earth and a great teacher. thank you, o by the way i am 80yrs young and still have an interest in shooting and i look on the utube and see what is out there. roy.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 for this video; it’s incredibly helpful! I’m a new rifle owner and am about to leave for the range to zero my new Romeo 5 this morning. Much appreciated!
Oh wow... Thanks for making this, I know how to zero my red dot, however you just made me realize that when where is a notation to turn a direction with a noted direction, (for instance a "turn left" graphic with U next to it) means if you turn that direction, the adjustment is made towards the noted direction! The first time I tried to zero I kept forgetting which way I turned the adjustment screws to make it go a direction

was it Busch Lite? or PBR?

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 .

4 years later, best way of explaining zeroing. Thanks
Almost 4 years later and it's still helping people. Thank you!
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.
Very well done! MOA at 25 yds is 1/4” versus 1” at 100....golden.
It's 2024 and still watched this. Very informative. Thank you

This was the clearest and easiest i have ever heard MOA explained. Thank you so much!
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.
Hands down your tutorial was the easiest FOR ME to understand. Next step is to use it in the field. Thank you!

I think you are right about adjusting the site, some of the red dot scopes are the opposite. Up means down and vise versa !
God finally an explanation that makes sense,some of these videos these youtubers make makes no sense at all

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.
As someone who had no clue what zero in meant you explained this very well. Easy to follow. Can’t wait to try myself.

Not new to shooting but new to red dots. I bailed on several other how-to videos until I found this very helpful & to the point instructional video. Thanks mucho amigo!👍
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.
Some people just have the gift of teaching. Thanks and subscribed.
Man!! Thank you. I was having the hardest time figuring this out. Saved me lots of ammo. I am not a rookie, but needed it explained in simple terms.
Okay so just to clarify because I'm horrible at math, while using the same video... At 25 yards which is typically the length of an indoor range. TO ZERO IN I WOULD NEED 24 CLICKS UP AND 20 CLICKS RIGHT??? IS THAT CORRECT????
I don't know why I was flipping it in my head for so long but this finally made it click for me, Up and Right refer to the point of impact in relation to the dot, every time I thought about it I was adjusting the sight in the wrong direction because I was picturing lowering the dot down to where I was impacting instead of the other way around
Awesome, thanks for making that easier to understand man.
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.
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💪🏾😈
Thank you for this. Simple to understand for a beginner to shooting. Just got a DDm4V7 and debating which optic but now I know how to adjust it. Thank 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 :)
Yes! Laugh all ya want, but i love my $27 fyland reflex sight.
You explained it perfectly and I just sighted in my first red-dot with no problem after watching your video.
Whether some us accept it or not this video cleared up any Q about "how to" do it the quick and easy way, thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge!
Perfect I'm your target audience for this video and learned a lot! Thanks
That's because he knows how to hit his "target audience"!
Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. It is extremely helpful and I will pass it along.
This is the best and easiest explanation of how to adjust a moa scope / red dot well done
Brother, that was the best explanation I ever seen! Thanks!
I've always tried to read up on the concept of MOA and it was always confusing but this was so clear and concise. Totally get it now.
KISS: Thank you for once again proving this concept works!
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.
That must have taken you some serious time and planning to draw that board graph and to be set up the way that you are. Very good job at making a great and educational video yourself, on a budget and very down to earth. Kudos my friend. Great video.
hi kota, reply from aussie land, down under. while we have had our guns taken from us, unless you are a roo shooter or a weekend shooter, i lhave always wondered how to zero in the red dot. you are the most practical instructor i have listened too. a lot of others like to boast them selves up, but you are very down to earth and a great teacher. thank you, o by the way i am 80yrs young and still have an interest in shooting and i look on the utube and see what is out there. roy.
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!
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.
Usually when I miss my target she just says that's not it, up a little.
THAT'S THE WRONG HOLE! :D
Shots fired

Great video, I am an experienced shooter with Marine Corps training and I learned a few things from this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Thx, bought one of those red dots recently
Newbie red dot guy here.... Thank you for this well explained, easy to understand video. Greatly appreciated 👍
That WAS helpful. Thanks for the straightforward explanation!
First video I saw about zeroing a red dot. I'm a noob to this. Your vid makes sense and was full of info and not drivel. Thanks you so much.
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.
I like this guy because he gives the basic knowledge without the bull
Great explanation, should be easy for anyone to follow!

Nicely done. No talking down to people, right to the point! Many tnx.
I didn’t know this was gonna be a geography lesson
This is the best explanation I've found, interestingly, its the only one where the instructor isn't on the range, thank you!
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.
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.
2:00 “if I aim here, but hit here” ...... your dot is zero’d, quit pulling. 😁
Thank you for this video; it’s incredibly helpful! I’m a new rifle owner and am about to leave for the range to zero my new Romeo 5 this morning. Much appreciated!
you are a great teacher! awesome info. thanks!
Oh wow... Thanks for making this, I know how to zero my red dot, however you just made me realize that when where is a notation to turn a direction with a noted direction, (for instance a "turn left" graphic with U next to it) means if you turn that direction, the adjustment is made towards the noted direction! The first time I tried to zero I kept forgetting which way I turned the adjustment screws to make it go a direction
Did you ever get your Swingline stapler back from Lumberg?
Lmao
@ Jeff Fraley: “I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday too...” 😂
Thanks a much I zeroed a ar15 scope for 50 yards on a 22lr bolt action and scored a 120 yards 4x back to back pancake size target.
