| Just picked up an Aimpoint RDS. Which way should I be moving the adjustment screws to adjust the dot to zero the sight in? Counterclockwise/clockwise to go up or down for elevation? Counterclockwise/clockwise to go left or right for windage? TIA |

thank you yoteslayer77, this is what I was looking for
2.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES 2.2.1 Zeroing Aimpoint’s sights are delivered in a centered position. Normally this means that only small adjustments are necessary, providing that the base(s) are properly aligned. CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust windage and elevation mechanisms if you encounter resistance. The elevation adjustment screw is located on top of the sight, while the windage screw is located on the right side of the sight (fig.3). a) Open front and rear lens covers. b) Turn the rotary switch clockwise until the red dot has a sufficient intensity to contrast against the target. c) Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps. d) Insert adjustment tool (coin, screwdriver, knife) or cartridge casing in adjustment screw slot and turn as follows: • To move the point of impact to the right, turn windage adjustment screw counter clockwise (clockwise if screw located on left side). • To move the point of impact to the left, turn windage adjustment screw clockwise (counter clockwise if screw located on left side). • To move the point of impact up, turn elevation adjustment screw counter clockwise. • To move the point of impact down, turn elevation adjustment screw clockwise. e) Confirm zeroing by firing at least three shots at a zeroing target. Check impact points on zeroing target to confirm accuracy and repeat above procedure if required. f) After initial firing, ensure that the mount and sight are secure. g) Turn rotary switch to OFF position (counter clockwise). h) Close front and rear lens cover NOTE: Each click of the adjustment screw corresponds to a 10 mm movement of the point of impact at 80 meters, (3 mm at 25 meters, 13 mm at 100 meters and 25 mm at 200 meters or 1/4” at 50 yds, 1/2” at 100 yds and 1” at 200 yds).
