First, turn both the elevation and windage knobs all the way clockwise, without forcing any clicks. Stop turning the turret when you feel light resistance on the knob.
WARNING: TURNING PAST THE POINT OF RESISTANCE WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR SCOPE
Next, turn back counterclockwise ½ the amount of total adjustment for your scope for both the windage and elevation turrets. Refer to the following chart for how many clicks to turn the turrets to get back to optical center.
Also, when resetting the turrets to optical center, be sure to loosen any set screws for scopes that have zero lock. Otherwise, the zero locking turret will limit your travel to 1 turn.

There are several factors that could affect the point of impact of the scope. First, check to ensure that the mounts/rings are securely affixed to the picatinny rail. There should be no movement of the scope when it is tightened down
Sometimes, if a riflescope has been zeroed on multiple firearms, the internal erector unit may be pushed out of center. This could limit the amount of adjustment or cause the internal adjustment travel to move diagonally if the erector unit is pushed to its outer limits. Try to reset the scope to optical center.
If that does not resolve problem, contact us at (888)445-8912 for a return authorization.
