Youtube University features a few videos how to sight in crossbow scopes or any scope.
Below pertains to the Overwatch scope.

Tip:: Degrease all scope mount fasteners and tap hole threads to prevent fastener creep or loosing when subjected to vibration. Tap holes and fasteners always contain manufacturing oils which are not your friend mounting scopes properly.

Donno if there’s a “proper” way.
I use the deck of the mainframe because it determines the POI, not the limbs. I use a plumb line to get the vertical set because it is more accurate and I don’t trust the scope turret. I zero at 20 yards. Then I stack 2 targets at 40 yards and shoot at a mark at the top of the top target using the center crosshairs. Then while holding the crosshairs on the top mark of the top target, I move the speed ring until the 40 yard marker is on the arrow that I shot. A bit of fine tuning is sometimes needed with the speed ring and the vertical reticle at 40 yards but the horizontal reticle remains untouched.
Some people just like stepping on rakes
