have a friend carefully turn the turrets while you look through the scope and provide directions. Fire one shot to confirm that your scope is now zeroed on the close range dot. Make minor corrections if required. The object is to get the point of aim identical to the point of impact. Now move your large target paper to one hundred yards. Enlarge the aiming dot to two inches with your felt pen. Place small pieces of masking tape over the short-range bullet holes or simply mark them with the felt pen. Now fire a shot and again the bullet should hit somewhere on the large target paper. You can repeat the previous technique of moving the crosshairs to the bullet or simply measure how much correction will be required to bring the bullet to the aiming dot. If you are six inches low and four inches right, move the elevation turret 24 clicks up and the windage turret 16 clicks left. Once again - the objective is to get the point of aim identical to the point of impact.
