Join Reddit r/CompetitionShooting  What distance do you sight in your red dot for USPSA Carry Optics? level 1 Lol answers so far: 10, 12, 25, 50. As you can see, zero wherever you like. level 2 Of course a GM has what it takes to do the 50 yard zero lol. level 1 Whatever you go with make sure you confirm your windage at 25 or whatever. Being able to trust your zero is critical in training. level 2 Yep. Sight in the elevation at whatever distance works best for the distance you shoot, but always test windage much further out to fine-fune it. I've sighted in at 15 years before and the windage appeared "dead-on" but then when I shot out at 50 yards realized it was off by a decent factor. level 2 I will be sure the windage is good. I did think of that, but appreciate your advice. level 2 · 4 mo. agoProd B USPSA, Prod A SCSA , GSSF, ATA, Governor's 10 pistol Maybe overthink it a bit if the target is a yard away with a NS underneath level 1 10 yards seems most functional to me. Easy to adjust for close targets by aiming an inch or so high, same with shooting at 25 or farther, just aim about an inch low. 25 yard shooting is much less common than shooting closer, so unless you're able to commit to aiming high on everything inside of 25, you'll have an easier time with 10 yards. Either way, there's a bit of a learning curve. level 2 Nice! This was the best information for the answer to my question! Thank you! level 2 Shouldn't it be 40 yards, the new standard? level 1 Definitely get a true 25 yard zero level 1 I did 12. If you do 10, then your zero will be 10 & 25 I believe. For CO that should be fine. level 1 25 yds on all mine. Tried 10 it was useless at longer distances. I do 25 then use plate rack to verify center hits. level 2
The Modern Samurai Project video was really good. Going to start at 10 yards and sight it in to a 1 in square. Then walk it out to 25 yards and see how well I can do. Thanks for your input! level 1 I am not expert but this is what I did with my competition Gun.
Found that if I aim middle of the A zone, I could hit all my shots within A zone for all the tested distances. I am using Walther PDP 5 inch with SRO. level 1 I sight the gun at 10 yards and then shoot a 25 yard group and adjust if necessary. I use a USPSA target and finish by shooting an index card/upper A zone group. level 2 This is the route I’m going to go. Hopefully it works out level 1 I zero at ten. Seems to work well. level 1 Zero at 10 and confirm at 25 First, Check Out This Video:If you’re looking to get the best performance out of your rifle and your optic… You might be wondering… What’s the best distance to zero my Red Dot? And I get it, there are a lot of choices out there… You’ve got 100 yards, 25 yards, 200, and each distance seems to have its own benefits and its own group of people who swear by it. But in this article, I’m going to tell you why I think you should zero your AR 15 at 50 yards… If you’re running a red dot sight. So give me your full attention now… take some notes if you have to because here we go! Reason 1: The 50 Yard Zero Is Versatile At Several Distances…Here’s a secret (not really)… the 50 yard zero is sometimes called the 50/200 yard zero. You see, a zero at 50 yards, while not being exactly the same, is pretty darn close to a zero at 200… Now, just how close is largely dependent on your particular rifle and ammunition choice. So, what you need to do is experiment with your own equipment to be sure of where your rounds are hitting… …but practically speaking, they should be about the same. Now, it’s extremely difficult to zero a red dot at 200 yards… It’s just too far away to consistently see your target well enough to shoot small groups that allow you to dial in your optic. On the other hand, zeroing a red dot at 50 yards is pretty do-able, even for a beginner… So out of the two (50 yards or 200), the 50 yard zero is the obvious choice. How Does A 50 Yard Zero Perform At 100 Yards?When you’re shooting at 100 yards, a 50-yard zero will still impact pretty close to your actual point of aim. Here’s the deal, you’ll probably be hitting about 2 or 3 inches high at this distance… …but for most practical sized targets, like a 10″ steel plate, you can aim directly at your target and still make solid hits. What About At 25 Yards?At 25 yards, a 50-yard zero is also pretty close to your actual point of aim. At this distance, it’s common to be hitting about an inch or inch and a half low… Now, you can use a slight hold over if the target is particularly small, but most of the time practically sized targets at 25 yards are really large… …and you’ll probably find that they’re pretty easy to hit with a well-aimed shot right in the center. Reason 2: 50 Yards Is A Practical Self-Defense Distance…Most gun owners rely on their weapons for self-defense… We know bad guys are out there looking for easy targets… …and we want to do our part to protect our loved ones, homes, and ourselves. Now, of course, no one wants to have to use their firearm to harm another person. I know I certainly don’t… …but if you were ever forced to use your gun in self-defense, a 50 yard zero would probably be your best option. Just take a moment to consider what a real-life self-defense shooting distance would be… For example, if a criminal broke into your home in the middle of the night and you had no choice but to engage them… …the distance would probably be less than 25 yards! And the truth is that in most self-defense or home-defense scenarios shooting past 100 yards is highly unlikely. In fact, the likelihood of shooting past 50 yards is actually really small. Now you might be thinking… This is all true. So why not go with a 25 yard zero? Well, my answer to that is… If I did, for some reason, have to make a shot at one hundred yards, I wouldn’t want to have to guess how many inches low I should aim on my target… …and in reality, with a 25 yard zero you’d have to aim somewhere from 4 to 10 inches low at 100 yards. Whereas, like I discussed earlier, the 50 yard zero is pretty flat shooting from zero to 200 yards. Reason 3: The 50 Yard Zero Is Attainable For Most Shooters…Shooting a red dot accurately at 50 yards is possible even for a new shooter, and that might not be the case if the distance is further out. For example, at 100 yards a small target becomes pretty difficult to see. Even when you’re using a sight with a precise point of aim like a 1 or 2 MOA dot it can be challenging to really focus in on a small aiming point… …and this problem gets even worse if you’re like me and have less-than-perfect eyesight (I wear contacts). So what ends up happening is that you make your shots, and your groups simply aren’t tight enough to get a good idea of precisely where you optic is hitting… And if you don’t know that, you can’t effectively zero your red dot. Now, at 50 yards the target isn’t really too far away. So, as long as you stabilize your rifle, have a high visibility target, and shoot with proper marksmanship fundamentals… …you shouldn’t have a problem dialing everything in. Now, I do want to give you one pointer that might be useful to you… Make sure you choose a small part of your target to zero in on and aim exactly at that small area everytime you shoot… For example, if your target has little squares on it, aim at one of the corners of those little squares. If you’ve ever heard the saying “aim small, miss small” you get the idea. So To Sum It All Up…The 50 yard zero is versatile at several shooting distances, practical and realistic for self-defense, and attainable for most shooters. So, make your way out to the range and start dialing in your red dot at 50 yards! One More Thing…To get your optic properly zeroed, you’re going to need to make sure your marksmanship fundamentals are on point… So if you find yourself struggling to hit your mark… I highly recommend you check out my 100% free guide below… Farewell, and have fun at the range! -RDshooters What range should I zero my pistol red dot?As a USPSA competitive shooter, I find that a 10 yard red dot zero serves me well. I can pretty much hold center of most targets (depending on the size of the target) from 5 to 25 yards. For smaller targets (head boxes) inside 3 yards I will hold the dot just over the area I'm trying to affect.
How far away should I sight my red dot from?In general, though, you'll want to sight your red dot in at 100 yards. You can certainly shoot accurately farther than that using a red dot, but within 100 yards is really the most effective range.
Do you have to zero a red dot sight?They provide a clear, wide sight picture and they don't suffer from parallax error (that means your head and eye placement doesn't matter). But to squeeze that accuracy out of your new red dot, you need to zero it so your point of aim matches your point of impact.
Can you use a red dot at 100 yards?However, of the main three types of red dot sights, they tend to be the best for fast target acquisition and affordability. How far should you sight with a reflex sight? You can take down targets within 100 yards without much issue.
