Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the 1-inch squares on MSP custom targets?

The 1-inch squares on MSP custom targets are designed for a more refining level of accuracy, particularly when zeroing a red dot pistol at 10 yards. The goal is to place three rounds precisely within this small square to ensure a highly accurate zero.

How does the MSP target help with red dot pistol zeroing at different distances?

The targets facilitate a 10-yard zero using 1-inch squares for precision. For 25-yard confirmation, the logo's picture area (approx. 1.5 inches) can be used, and the overall logo with the black line approximates a 10-ring for further verification.

What drills can be performed with the 3x5 card section of the MSP target?

The 3x5 card section is utilized for fast draw drills, specifically practicing sequences like 'three to the body and two to the head.' It also aids in practicing both gross and refined sight pictures during rapid firing sequences.

How do the 2-inch squares on the MSP target aid in training?

The 2-inch squares, labeled 'MSP' and 'RDS,' are used for vision drills, tracking the red dot during recoil, and managing recoil. They are also employed for hyper-accuracy drills, involving 10-round strings at 10 yards, to analyze grip and trigger control.
