Just got your AIMWIN? The first step is zeroing it. This aligns your red dot with where your bullet actually hits, ensuring accuracy.

Choosing Your Zero Distance

The ideal zero depends on your primary use. Red dots excel in close to medium ranges.

• 50-Yard Zero: The Versatile Choice. Great for most rifles and PCCs, especially AR-15s. It provides a practical trajectory, keeping you on target out to about 200 yards with minimal holdover. Perfect for general range use and many competitions.

• 25-Yard Zero: Close-Quarters Precision. If your firearm is for home defense or PCC competition, a 25-yard zero maximizes accuracy up close. For instance, home defense scenarios are typically within 25 yards, making this zero ideal for immediate, precise engagements.

Ultimately, your specific needs dictate the best zero.

The "Cold Bore" Factor

It's worth noting the cold bore shot—the first shot from a cold barrel. It can sometimes impact slightly differently than subsequent shots. While often minor at red dot ranges, it's something precision shooters consider.

AIMWIN designs its sights for ultimate reliability and zero retention. Understanding these zeroing principles helps you unlock your red dot's full potential, so when you see the dot, you know you're on target.
