Frank Proctor Shooting 10 Yard Carbine Zero Target
I have used this method for zeroing red dot equipped carbines since 2007. To truly zero a carbine you need a good group. (with decent ammo in a decent carbine you should be able to shoot well under a 1" group at 50 yards) With a red dot on a carbine it can be difficult to see well enough to aim well enough at 50 yards (try aiming at a 1" target with a dot at 50 yards) to get a good zero so I developed this method to get a 50/200 yard zero at 10 yards. If done correctly it works very well and can be done very quickly. Follow the instructions on the downloadable target and you will be golden! NOTE: this target was designed around a 5.56 carbine with an optic that is mounted with the center of the optic 2.8" from the center of the bore. Standard height (non 1.92) red dot optics.

10 yard carbine zero target
I teach both civilian and law enforcement firearms classes. Just used these targets in a LEO class taught in Woodstock, VT and they worked great. We were able to quickly get or confirm student zeroes. We were able than to move to the 50 yard line and fine tune them quickly. Even though students are instructed to arrive with a zeroed rifle, they don't always and if not done, the rest of the day will be challenging. Great product and kudos to Frank for giving out the download free. Finally, I have shot with Frank and highly recommend you take a class. Great dude with lots of information to share!
