The first thing you need to do is to decide at what range you want your rifle to be zeroed. Any distance closer or further will require some degree of hold over or hold under, so most folks try to zero their sights for the average range they will be shooting. Then you need to determine the load you will use. Whatever it is, you need to be consistent. For example, most AR15s will shoot either a .223 or 5.56, but since the 5.56 is a hotter load, it will not give you the same point of impact that you got if you sighted in with a .223. Finally, you need to get on paper, which means to first shoot from a distance close enough to hit the target. Then move back to the distance you want your zero and sight in at that distance. If you don't get on paper first, you will have no idea where your misses are and won't be able to adjust your sights other by trial and error. You can find much more detailed instructions on a number of shooting sites.
