US12429307 - Zeroing target for a firearm sighting system

Provided is a zeroing target for a firearm sighting system that includes a range card insert and a range card sleeve. The range card insert includes zero range increment markings, caliber markings, and a point of aim indicator. The range card sleeve includes a zero range viewing window, a caliber viewing window, a point of aim viewing window, and a point of impact indicator. The range card insert fits within the range card sleeve and can be moved upwards or downwards within the sleeve for selecting a desired zero range increment marking and caliber marking. A laser boresight is aimed at the point of impact indicator and a sighting system on the weapon is adjusted until the sighting system is pointing at the point of aim indicator. When the two values align, the weapon is properly bore-sighted for the desired caliber and range, which can then be confirmed by live fire.
