This guide details how to zero an EOTech holographic sight, emphasizing a steady shooting position and initial shots at 25 meters. It explains EOTech's adjustment system where clockwise turns move impact down and right, and recommends a 50 or 100-meter zero for AR-pattern rifles. The video covers target analysis and fine-tuning for accuracy.

Quick Summary

To zero an EOTech sight, start with a stable shooting rest and fire initial shots at 25 meters. Clockwise adjustments move impact down (elevation) and right (windage). Confirm your zero with a second group and consider a 50 or 100-meter zero for AR-15 rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust an EOTech holographic sight?

EOTech adjustment screws typically move the point of impact. For the EOTech 553 shown, turning the adjustment screws clockwise moves the point of impact DOWN for elevation and RIGHT for windage. Each click is 0.5 MOA.

What is a good starting distance for zeroing an EOTech sight?

It's recommended to start zeroing at 25 meters to ensure you can get the optic 'on paper'. After confirming shots are grouping, you can then move to your desired final zero distance, such as 50 or 100 meters for AR-pattern rifles.

What is the recommended zero distance for an AR-15 with an EOTech?

For general use on AR-pattern rifles, a 50-meter or 100-meter zero is commonly recommended. This provides a good balance for typical engagement distances and trajectory compensation.

How do you ensure a stable platform when zeroing optics?

Use a steady shooting rest or sandbags to support the firearm. Crucially, ensure the barrel and forend do not make contact with the rest, as this can introduce pressure and affect shot consistency.
