Getting your red dot zeroed can be even easier than getting your scope on target especially at such close distances. Once you get your red dot mounted up. get ready to sight up and take some shots.
To make sure your aim is as repeatable and stable as possible, be sure to shoot off a bag or some other sort of support.
00:00 Introduction
Today we'll be using a Glock 17, topped off with our TD3 Red Dot sight. The target will be at 10 yards, but you could certainly set the target up at any other distance you prefer (25 yards, 50 yards) . Just remember to convert your MOA or MIL values to the appropriate distance.
Step one will be to take some shots. Step two will be to measure the distance to the point of aim. Step three is to dial. Easy enough!
The TD3 has 1 MOA clicks.
00:48 First Group
Adjust the brightness on your LED to make it barely visible. The smaller and more precise your dot, the more precise your aim can be. You can always turn the brightness up later!
Use a bag to keep your hands and the handgun stable, just like firing off the bench with a rifle.
This first group is a bit low and to the left. There's no marked aiming point on the target, which throws aim off. After this, we'll demonstrate the difference that comes with a marked aim point.

The group was a little spread out, about 2 inches to the left and half an inch low.
To really get dialed in, it's time to mark that aiming point. At 10 yards, this little sharpie mark is easy enough to see.
At 10 yards, 1 MOA is 0.1". To adjust our group, the sight needs to be adjusted 20 clicks to the right and 5 clicks up.
03:52 On Target
Time to aim at the little dot in the center of the silhouette and see how the adjustments hold up.
(spoiler alert they got the sight right on target).
04:53 Wrap up
The sight is right on target. Time to take it out for some drills!
