How to Zero Your IR / Vis Laser 

Another tip ive used for a cowitness laser is to turn the red dot off after you have the two merged and then treat the laser as your red dot through your optic. Accomplishes the same task but can allow you to keep your same body position relative to the rifle to minimize the possibility of shifting your rifle due to an unnatural shooting position.

2 years later...was able to zero my first rifle laser because of this video...thank you so much!

Just wanted to say thank you. Offset is very nice.

This video was unbelievably helpful thanks mates

Thank you for the info. Just got my pvs14 and my perst4.

Pretty interesting, thanks for taking the time to share this.

I’d like to see a comparison of the two zeros on steel from 100 yards-300 yards to see the difference on poi. It’s just a few inches difference but still interesting to see.

Most helpful laser vid I’ve seen

Good video! No need to buy overpriced targets that are printed with a laser offset

Well done. Thank you.

I like how u get the measurement for the laser Dot off set. Thanks 4 the we'll done video Bro👌

Good info!

Thank you very much

I like the constant offset thought for being a civilian but if I see a need for cowitness is there a suggested distance for converging zero? My zero on my lpvo now is 36 yds and I have an offset red dot set for 10 yards.

You can get a parallel zero without firing a shot. Just do what you did initially, except use an actual target - and mark where the laser is. Go back to 50, have a buddy with a walkie talkie and aim at the target (take bolt out of rifle to make safe). Buddy will tell you what adjustments to make. Go back to 100 to confirm it's still parallel. Should be a small correction at 100 if needed. If you're by yourself use a ransom rest and really make sure the gun doesnt move.

Great vid. Subbed!

Very helpful

Can you explain positive load on the adjusters for NGAL as per the manual. But confused.

What happens if you have a tlr 8 mounted on a pcc on the 12 oclock position?

Just rotate the rifle 12 degrees or so and line the laser up directly over the bore and zero at that angle and it will follow the bullet drop at the angle. Zero at 10 to 12 yards and the laser will closely follow the bullet trajectory andbe close to a second zero at 50 yards. You can fine tune it on at 50 yards then back up and see where it converges at close distance. Then you know exactly where the laser and bullet zero align and the laser will slightly be just below the bullet between those two points but just slightly. Hate using a scope to set a laser, just doesn't work as well, just look down the laser instead.

Good video.

The subject is way over complicated by old school thinking. The easiest and most accurate solution is at looking through your NOD zero your "IR" laser to your already zeroed optic at the "furthest" distance you can see, that way your hold over/unders are exactly the same all without firing a single shot. Since you zero it at the furthest distance there will be no "crossing over". Also do "not" use your vis laser to zero your "IR" lase and assume it will be zeroed also. The "co alinged" laser is not co aligned since they're not on top of each other, so it will never be co aligned at all distances.

I ordered my NGAL last week (wed or thur I think) and it arrived on tue. Since we are having summer in January (peaked out at 70), I thought I would make some adjustments to the laser(s) to at least get them close to zero'd. I am going for a parallel zero so I have the visible laser just below and a tad to the left of my zero'd ATN X-Sight. Now when I turn on the IR laser, its showing up a good distance below the visible laser. Which laser do you recommend using when I zero the NGAL???

Just curious, what if you cut out the square of point of aim and let the laser pass through. Would that work and should it let you know that you are on the point of aim?

Question can you see ir laser with the nv eotech exps3 without mods?

I have a question. If you zero the laser at 50 yards with a constant offset will it still be constant at distances under 50 yards?

What about the offset of vis laser and ir laser?

What distance were you shooting, 50 yards?

Why not cant the rifle when you shoot with the laser and then have a proper zero independent of your main optic?

What distance did you zero your co witness option

Do you have a build list for this?

Converging and parallel zeros are what you’re thinking of.

How did u aim ur laser to its exact location beside barel b4 this video ?????? Lasers don't come zeroed so technically u gota move ur lazer around right ???????

What IR unit are you running on that rifle?

That chigger comment hit my soul.

Ok..... good concept buuuuuut !!!! What if the laser if offset ???? Duhhhh it's not gona happen accurately this way right ?????

It's easier to do the muzzle first then the laser.

you have a microphone for ants

Anyone with an NGAL or Wilcox is just flexing at this point. Most of us can only get Holosun, Steiner and well we used to be able to get "civilian" EOTech peq15s. Even EOTech's new OGL is outside most people's price point.

Honestly I don't feel that you all are squared away with your rifles enough to be educating others. And no I'm not saying I'm squared away enough either.

Wearing ears with a suppressor. Alrighty.
