How do you confirm zero?

[Alan]

When it comes to running optics across multiple platforms, how does your zero confirmation process differ for pistols compared to rifles?

Man, Alan, that would be hard for me to compare??

Mostly I have Red Dots on the handguns, and Cross hair's on the long guns.

I guess, when I get on range, and a "Fouling Shot" or two on my long guns, I just see where it's hitting??
I'm not a good enough shot on my handgun Dots to blame the optics for a large group??..HA HA..Bill.

I only use 1 pistol with a scope and no red dots or holographic. I've got red dots and scopes on most of my rifles and once set very seldom ever check zero before hunting. I use steel mounts only and normally never remove the scope but I do an ATN digital that moves between 2 rifles and I will shot a qualifying round to make sure that the profile for that rifle stayed true (the scope has the ability save multiple profiles for different loads and/or rifles)
