Hi-Power Jack Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Jeremy, most people sight in the iron sighted handguns at anywhere from 15 - 25 yards, and that is usually within a few inches from POA from 5 - 30 yards. Best to try it at 5 yards so you KNOW where your bullets are going to land for those close head shots; and best to try some shots at 30 - 40 yards incase you ever encounter a long COF at a USPSA match. But, 15 yards is usually pretty good. If you can fire a 2" group at 15 yards offhand, that's the best way to do it - if groups are too large, find a rest, but don't put the gun on anything - support your wrists ... And, at least try some offhand shooting at 15 yards - make sure bullets hit where they did from a support. We just had a discussion about this very topic a week or so ago here on this Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDPMatt Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 When I bought mine, Mink told me to sight in at 50yds off a rest. I did that but also checked it at 35, 25, 15, 7, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 usually 15-25 yards is good. any zero will work, so long as you know what the gun does at 5 yards, and out to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
