    Is zeroing a little low at 25 yards that difficult to begin with? Wouldn't any gridded target work, just hold on the center and get your POI where you want it (count squares) based on what your absolute zero need is?

    Rob,

    That target was designed for LE personnel when zeroing their patrol rifles. While the majority of the guys I work with "Get it" during the zeroing portion of the training, theres always a few who dont at first. Every little bit of assistance helps with those few, and these targets definately help simplify the process.

    I support any method that gets people to understand that POA/POI at 25 is not an acceptable method of expedient zeroing.

    Exactly. I would think people could understand holdover and used a gridded target, but if they get it this way, they are still getting it and that is all that matters.

    Hate to admit it, but it took me a little while to think this through and understand. finally got it, but kept wondering - if its hitting low at 25, wouldn't it hit even lower at 100? Very cool - Thanks for the heads up - I'll be printing it.

    Negative, the bullet is still going up at 50 yards. See the image below:
