This guide details Larry Vickers' 'stair-step' method for zeroing an Aimpoint ACRO P2 red dot sight on a Laugo Arms Alien pistol. It emphasizes starting at 5 yards, focusing on windage, and progressively moving to 10 and 15 yards for final confirmation. The method accounts for the ACRO P2's fine adjustment increments, requiring a methodical approach to achieve precise point-of-aim, point-of-impact.

Quick Summary

Larry Vickers' 'stair-step' method for zeroing an Aimpoint ACRO P2 starts at 5 yards, focusing on windage and initial elevation. After analyzing 5-shot groups, make conservative adjustments, noting the optic's fine increments. Confirm windage at 10 yards and finalize the zero at 15 yards for precise POA/POI.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended method for zeroing an Aimpoint ACRO P2?

Larry Vickers recommends a 'stair-step' method, starting at 5 yards to establish windage and initial elevation, then confirming and refining at 10 and 15 yards for a precise point-of-aim, point-of-impact zero.

How do you adjust the Aimpoint ACRO P2 during zeroing?

Adjustments are made using a tool on the turrets. Be aware that the ACRO P2 has fine increments, requiring multiple clicks for noticeable shifts, especially at close range. Start with conservative adjustments and analyze shot groups.

Why start zeroing at 5 yards?

Starting at 5 yards allows for quick confirmation of windage and initial elevation settings. It's easier to make gross corrections at this distance before moving back to refine the zero at 10 and 15 yards.

What is the final zeroing distance recommended for the ACRO P2?

The final zeroing distance recommended is 15 yards. The goal is to achieve a tight group where the point of aim matches the point of impact (POA/POI) within the 10-ring for standard engagement distances.
