Could you do the segmented circle reticle in the new accupower 1-4?

Awesome!!!!! This fixed my only complaint with that reticle, which was ranging.
Now that I have a way to range, I can use the BDC effectively when not on a shooting range. |

Awesome work pezboytate! Is there any chance you could use the specs above (M855, 20" barrel, rifle sight radius) with a 300 meter zero. A good friend is the XO of a reserve unit and with the help of your graphics he and I are trying to educate his troops on what they'll actually see when qualifying as far as target appearance and hold over. The institutionalized wives tales and ignorance make it almost impossible to make things understood and your graphics will be incredibly helpful at teaching proper marksmanship/qualification. Using these graphics I'm putting together simple one page sheets that cover the correct military zeroing procedure AND demonstrate holdovers for qualification for the various rifles they use (M4 w/Aimpoint & M855 at 300, M4 w/ACOG & M855 at 100, M4 w/irons & M855 at 300 and M16 w/irons & M855 at 300). If you're open to any other special request can you draw up the combinations above but use the partial silhouette that the army uses at 50 and 100 meters for qualification. I found this image of the army's 25M qualification target that shows the adjusted aiming point for center mass hits and the correct shape 50 & 100 meter targets but does not show what the sight picture looks like over the targets.

They both look awesome. The bottom one is exactly what I'm striving for with the different rifle/sight combos I listed earlier because it shows the target as it will appear when doing the qualification. The biggest thing troops have issues with is they hear "hold under so rocks get kicked up onto the target" or "hold over because the bullet drops" with no explanation of how much or which target which leads to a lot of missed shots due to bad info. This would go a long way to eliminating the bad intel. |

Please print it out and let me know if it is large enough to see. I will do an M4 one and maybe ACOG ones as well. Let me know if you would like anything else. I can draw up pretty much anything.

The iron sight model looks great with one suggestion. Can you lighten the target outline to a dark gray (for a color contrast with the iron sight) and make it a dashed line where the front sight post obscures the target so that a person can "see" (if they had X-ray vision) how much of the target is obscured by the post. The 150 and 200m targets especially could confuse a shooter into thinking they're holding at the bottom of the target as they look now and I'm hoping completing the target image as a dashed line will eliminate that confusion. Here's a really bad attempt with a silver sharpie showing what I mean. 
(Thanks for your effort on this. It goes a long way to eliminating misunderstanding on trajectory.) |

How about this? The dotted lines weren't turning out very well so I just did a thinner solid line.

How does this look? I tried to fit the entire reticle on the screen, so the targets are smaller. If you'd like the targets larger or something else changed, I can do that. |

I do have info on A2/A4 type irons and KAC 600m but sold my Matechs before measuring them up. All it takes is measuring the overall height at each position and finding the distance between each range marking. If someone could accurately measure theirs or send me one to measure, it would be no problem. Sight radius is also needed. |

Pistol length FSB? If you are talking about running the front sight on a free float hand guard, there are many possibilities. The holds will be the same as long as the barrel length is the same, but the size that the front sight post appears to be will be larger or smaller.
If you give me more details like velocity and sight radius I can make you a custom one. |

I thought that I had been thorough, but it is a 16" barrel and 50/225 yd zero. Don't know why I didn't give you that. If that was my only chance, then I can still work with this. You must enjoy doing this.We all appreciate it. |
