5.56 NATO 25 Yard Zero Target

For the indoor range that stops at 25 yards. Read the sheet before you adopt this zero: it puts the far zero out at 363–400 yd and the bullet more than nine inches above the line of sight at around 210 yd. That is a usable zero for a rifle used at distance and a poor one for anything inside 300.

How to use it

1. Print at 100% and check the 4 in bar.
2. Set the target at 25 yd and fire five rounds supported.
3. One grid square is one MOA at 25 yd, which is 0.26 in — the finest grid of the three 5.56 sheets.
4. Check the maximum rise column. If that number is too big for what you shoot, use the 50 yd sheet instead.
