Quoted: I just picked up my first AR-15 and would like to know what yardage to sight in for PD hunting and coyote hunting.
Thanks

While a big supporter of the 50 yard IBZ referred to in the above posts, for use with irons or red-dots such as the Aimpoint or EOTech, your "intended-use" comments require a different approach if your planning to be successful.
IF you are serious about the PD hunting, you'll need a quality "tactical" scoped rifle zeroed for 100 yards and a come-up chart for the load your using. Something similar to this (below) so you can "dial-in" on those dogs......
Come-ups for 24" Colt Accurized Rifle (6724) w/ Leupold Vari-X III, 4.5x14 w/ turrets and Mil-Dots
100- zero
200-1 1/2 min
300-3 3/4 min
350-4 min
400-5 1/2 min
450-7 1/2 min
500-9 1/4 min
550-11 1/2 min
600-12 3/4 min
700-17 3/4 min
800-23 min
900- no target
1000-35 1/2 min (34-36 depending on humidity)
This may be of some use to ya.
