gjgalligan9mm PCC zero with red dot
What distance would you zero a 9mm PCC/AI with a red dot?
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

flesheatingvirus25 yards is what my SP5K is zeroed at. That's standard (really 25m) for the MP5 platform. The main thing I have to remember is to compensate for the offset height of the red dot over the bore. At distances like 7yds, I have to aim 3-4 inches high.

P220 SmudgeI do 25 yards, but I guess it depends on what you want to do with it.

Room broom, of course!

P220 SmudgeFive yards is an option.

sigarmsp226I also do 25 yards because I shoot mine in Steel Challenge which has targets out to 35 yards on a couple of stages.

Same. 25 yards will still be almost dead on at 35 and still work for close in targets without really worrying about height over bore.
AR15's with a dot get zeroed at 50.
Anything with magnification gets zeroed at 100.

That's what I do as well.

RogueJSKSimilarly, I zero my 9mm PCCs at 25 yards, and my defensive rifles at 100 yards. (Though I have no problems with a 50 yard rifle zero either, since in the grand scheme there's very minimal differences between 50/100, with just some slight benefits for either one in specific use cases. It mainly comes down to personal preference.)

fischtown7I do 25 yards also, with my laser bore sight I have been using these free targets and getting my zero done before I even goto the range. I wish I had found these earlier, it is so nice to just show up at the range and not have to any zeroing, only once I had to make a small adjustment.
infinitezerotargetsIf you goto the website it says hang at the range, of course you can use them that way but what I do is measure out a wall at home and adjust the optic till bore sight laser and red dot or iron sights are on the dots.
