Zeroing this light accurately will require a trip to the firing range. To properly zero this device with the M16 rifle requires the use of the night vision goggles and sighting in with live fire.

Next, fire the weapon at a 25 yard target by aligning the IR laser dot 3.5 inches below the sight’s point of aim.
