Zeroing target generator

A grid target drawn to the distance you're zeroing at and marked in your own turret clicks. Shoot a group, count the squares back to the middle, and that's how many clicks to wind on. The 3-inch centre takes a Shoot-N-See for checking the zero once you're close. A4 or A3.

How it works

You just count the squares.

Normally you'd measure how far your group sits from the middle, turn that into MOA or mil, then divide by your click value to get the clicks. This grid has all of that built in. Each bold square is a round number of your clicks, so you count squares instead of working anything out. A group two bold squares left and one down is that many clicks right, one up. The 3-inch centre takes a standard Shoot-N-See for checking the zero once you're on it.

1

Set your zero and turrets

Enter the distance you're zeroing at, whether your turrets are MOA or mil, and the click value.

2

Print it full size

Download the PDF and print it at 100% on A4. Use A3 if you want more grid, for a longer zero or a first group that's well off.

Shoot and count

Count the squares from your group in to the middle, wind that many clicks on, and check it with a Shoot-N-See over the centre.

Worked example

Zeroing at 100 yards with quarter-MOA turrets:

  • 1 MOA at 100 yd is about 26.6 mm on the paper
  • Each bold square is 1 MOA, so 4 clicks
  • Group two bold squares low = 8 clicks up

No 1.047 in your head, no ruler on the paper. You count two squares and wind on eight clicks.

Getting it exact

Check it with a ruler.

The whole point is that a square equals a known number of clicks, so the print size has to be right. Print at 100%, not "Fit to page".

Every sheet has a 100 mm bar on it. Measure it before you trust the grid. If it's off, your printer has scaled the page: set it to "Actual size" and print again.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Enter the distance you're zeroing at and your turret clicks, print the sheet at 100%, and shoot a group at the middle. Each square is worth a set number of clicks, so you count the squares from your group back to the centre, wind that many on, and check it with a Shoot-N-See stuck over the middle.
It's sized to take a standard 3-inch Shoot-N-See or splatter target. Once you're close, the reactive centre shows where you're hitting without walking up to the target. The grid around it is for measuring the correction while you're still off.
Whichever your turrets adjust in. Set the click value to match (quarter or eighth MOA, 0.1 mil, and so on) and the grid is drawn so each square is a whole number of those clicks.
A3 gives you more grid. It's handy for a longer zero, where each MOA or mil covers more paper, or for a first group off a fresh scope that could land well away from the centre.
Yes. The grid scales to the distance you enter, and the top of the sheet tells you what each bold line is worth in millimetres and in clicks.
The whole thing depends on a square being an exact size, so if the printer scales the page the clicks are wrong. Choose "100%" or "Actual size" rather than "Fit to page", and print A3 on A3 paper. Every sheet has a 100 mm bar to check against a ruler before you trust it.
No. It all runs in your browser and the PDF is built on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to us or saved anywhere.
