First you need to get a good rest to steady the forestock gun on like a bag of corn, birdseed rock salt anything like that or a gun vise that is important because you need the gun to sit still so you know that you are correcting the gun and not making mistakes yourself. Next set up a target at whatever you fell comfortable shooting chances are you wont be shooting at things 100 yards away so 50 is plenty.Then after each shot move the rear opposite of the way it shot if it shot left move the adjustment right if its a kind of gun where you can adjust the front sight then you will chase your shot if it shoots left then move the front sight left just the same as the way you would a bow.

if your not using a scope you shouldn't have to "sight it in" look at your owner manual and it will tell you what the open sights are set up for with a 22 LR it is probably 25 or 50 yards. The best thing to do after that is go to a range or a place you can shoot and shoot it until you know how it will act. some guns shoot low some high it just takes time to get used to your gun. Also once you break it in it will be more consistent. Luckily its a 22 so you can break it in for 5 bucks

Better to have overkill than no kill at all: Buy a laser boresighter for about $40. This will insert into the end of your barrel; just look down your sights and adjust them until they line up on the red dot. You never have to fire a shot.

You can print a free target off the internet, get a carboard box and put it out at 100 meters.... aim and shoot as steady as you can..... adjust your sights and repeat.... it all depends on how you adjust your sights....

Just take a gallon of water or a cardboard box out about a hundred yards. And just start shooting at it until its just the way you like. Make sure you take a flat head screw driver with you so you can adjust the iron sights the way you want them.

Shoot first with it at a 35 yard target, then 75 yards, then 100 yards.*
