APPENDIX G

10-METER TARGET OFFSETS
AND 25-METER ZERO OFFSETS

This section provides the 10-meter target offsets and the 25-meter zero offsets for the M16-/M4-series weapons mounted with iron sights, optics, MILES, or aiming lasers. A blank reproducible 10-meter target offset is provided and an example of each weapon configuration (Figures G-2 through G-6). The M16A2 300-meter zero target will be used for 25-meter zeroing with all weapon configurations.

To mark the proper 10-meter target offsets—

• Find the correct template for your weapon configuration.
• Count the number of squares starting from center of the borelight circle on the offset to the desired point of aim. Each template also provides a number formula for the proper offset. Example (L2.0, U2.4): Starting from the center of the borelight circle (0.0, 0.0) move LEFT 2 squares and UP 2.4 squares.
• Place the appropriate symbol or mark (Figure G-1).

To mark the proper 25-meter zero offset—

• Use only a M16A2 300-meter zero target.
• Find the correct target template for the weapon configuration.
• Count the number of squares starting from the center of the 300-meter zeroing silhouette.
• Mark the designated strike point by drawing a small circle at the appropriate number of squares from the center of the 300-meter zeroing silhouette.
• Draw a 4-centimeter by 4-centimeter square keeping the designated strike point at the center.

To reproduce the 10-meter target offset, copy the blank 10-meter target offset and place the example of the weapon being used on the back. This reproducible copy can be laminated and used repeatedly. Table G-1 provides offset mounting information for various weapon configurations.
