I recently purchased a new Aimpoint Pro from Optics Planet. The sight was delivered last week and I threw it on my Windham Weaponry AR-15.

Today I went to the range to zero the sight. And that's when I experienced some problems.

I threw some paper targets up at 25 yards. When I shot I found that I wasn't even hitting paper. When I decided to go for the 100 yard steel targets, my rounds were impacting a good two feet low and nearly a foot to the left. The sight required almost a full revolution to get up on the steel, and nearly as much to push the round to the right.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

The sight is now zeroed. I put another two mags downrange and it is holding that zero.

Still, I'm trying to figure out why the sight needed so much adjustment.

They don't come pre-adjusted.  You're good.

If i remember correctly, the sights come centered, it will just depend on the individual rifle how much adjustment you need

My suggestion for next time is to start by zeroing the red dot to the irons and then do the fine adjustments
