Night time zeroing target

[Colin G]

Hi all
Does anyone use a target or piece of tape that stands out on a board at 100 yards for zeroing a digital scope .
Ive used pieces of tape etc, but nothing I’ve used is that good or noticeable.
I’m looking for something that really stands out . What do you use lads ?
Thanks
Colin

Aluminium tape, works well for me. Tilt the target board up slightly.

Also try your different colour palettes see if that makes a difference.

For night vision or thermal?

I used similar, but is £50-60 a roll (must return it when i go back to work) i just cut it into small 1inch squares.

6mm square bits of self adhesive reflective tape, any bigger and you just get a big blob to aim at.
Pm me and i’ll send you some.

As above.

Cheapo way to do it...get an old hi vis vest or similar, cut the reflective strips into pieces and tape onto a target

Thanks guys and pellet pinger for the kind offer.
I have some reflective tape … I’ve used bigger pieces, that will be the problem then with the blob as you describe . I will cut some in to 6mm pieces as have a go at that

This is my go to method

If it is for night vision, I simply leave a torch at the far end illuminating a plain target and it works perfectly. Possibly better than in strong daylight. It may be a bit boring but it is effective. When I was young we would plink at night using IKEA tea lights on a wooden plank.

For a photon I used a sheet of white A4 with a cross made from black insulation tape, now I have a sightline n470s I just use cheap stick on black targets from temu mounted on a sheet of lining paper which is clipped onto chipboard. As you're using a digital scope, an extra white light source from a low powered torch shouldn't cause any ill effect and you'll be able to see the target. What scope are you using thats proving difficult to see the target with

1 inch kitchen foil stapled to the target centre is perfect for thermal

I look out for road catseyes that have been displaced or pop into your local highways depot, they usually have piles of damaged ones. Simply pop one through a piece of card.

That's not a bad idea, I suppose when you can no longer see it your zeroed.

If you want a decent reflective strip, cut one off a high vis vest, normally find one or two in a layby or skip, or hedge depending where you live

Been there and done that

Are you cutting up floor raft sized rolls?

The rolls are 50 meter x 10cm long, i didn't realise how expensive it was until i ordered a roll for a project at work.
