Zeroing a red dot sight is a crucial step in ensuring accurate shooting. It involves aligning the red dot reticle with the point of impact of your firearm. This alignment process compensates for any inherent misalignment between the sight and the firearm, ensuring that the red dot accurately indicates where your shots will land.
Once zeroed, a red dot sight provides several benefits. It allows for faster target acquisition, particularly in close-range or dynamic shooting situations. The illuminated red dot is easy to see against most backgrounds, making it less distracting and more intuitive to use compared to traditional iron sights. Additionally, red dot sights can enhance accuracy, especially for shooters who may struggle with traditional sight alignment techniques.
