This guide details the process of co-witnessing a red dot sight with iron sights on an AR-15 platform, as demonstrated by Dorr, Director of Training at Tactical Hyve. It covers confirming iron sight zero, mounting the optic, aligning the red dot to the front sight post, and validating with live fire. Co-witnessing is presented as a reliable starting point for zeroing optics.

This guide details how to zero an EOTech holographic sight, presented by Karl Erickson, a former US Special Forces member. It covers selecting the optimal zero distance (50 meters recommended for tactical use), achieving a precise aiming point, co-witnessing with iron sights, establishing a stable shooting position, and making precise adjustments based on MOA calculations. The guide emphasizes confirming the zero at the intended engagement distance.

This video explains the concept of co-witnessing with an EOTech HWS on an AR-15. It details how backup iron sights remain functional even if the holographic reticle obscures them. The video advises folding down rear iron sights for optimal performance and achieving a proper sight picture where the EOTech dot sits slightly above the front sight post.
