    Here are targets with the drop built in depending on what zero you want. 25, 50, 100, 300, etc.

    Thanks JD and Quads for zeroing tips. That's the plan. I did some calculations like measuring the center of red dot to bore axis, and I used the ballistic calculator and estimated muzzle velocity at 2400 fps (reported from literature - didn't measure mine yet) and for a zero at 50 yards the drop at 1 yard is ~ 2 in and about 1 in at 25 yards.. I am very excited to started experimenting at the range. I also have access to steel targets (11x1 in and 8 in circle) at 50 yards.. If I can drng these plates at 50 yards 100% I will be a happy camper. My eye sight is not that great and the objective of that pistol os up to 50 yards.

    This is what I haul to the range. I dump it off at 80-90 yards from the benches, and let whoever wants to shoot it, giver hell while I'm there. It's a section of truck frame with a 10" x 19" area that's humanoid shaped, but man it's heavy! Maybe 100 lbs!! Its hard to miss with my Saint pistol, AK pistols, any thing iron sighted. My Son hit it with my LCP!!!! You will have no problem hitting a 11" target at 50 yards, every shot!

    Is it angled to direct the rounds down or is it straight perpendicular to the ground?

    I have a sba3 brace and a bcm 11.5 upper and it measures 25 7/8 I measured it like 10 different ways and still was under 26. That was from end of the buffer tube to end of barrel. That thing is on par with my 14.5

    ...or are frangible rounds being used?

    It's straight, but I shoot at it at a slight angle. When it was new, I would shoot pistols at it up close, with it at a 45 degree angle to me. But now that it's peppered beyond me wanting to weld all the dimples, Its a 80-100 yard target only.
