Night Vision IR Laser Targets

Anyone ever tried this stuff to zero an IR laser? Amazon.com: GTC RT6 Reflective Tape for Optical and Laser Tachometers: Automotive

GTC RT6 Reflective Tape.. says it reflects visible, laser, and IR..

Any reason it shouldn't work?

I have not tried that actual brand but I have found that any reflective tape works without issue. Doesn't need to be IR specific, just reflective of any light wave.

I never use anything purpose made. Not that it wouldn't work, it just hasn't been a necessity. I just co-witness the laser to the day optic at the furthest distance I can (300-500 yards) shoot and fine tune. It takes me a few minutes. Fine tuning is usually done on paper targets or one of the billion Amazon boxes I get each day. Then I follow it up by banging some steel.

I have used the red/white DOT tape and it works great.

I was thinking along the same lines as you--but I bought: Amazon.com: Reflexite REF-DB Retroreflective V92 Daybright Tape: 1 in. x 15 ft. (Silver-White): Home Improvement

For ir laser sighting in it might not be any better than a cheap bike reflector but the reviews were so amazing I thought I'd buy some for other yet to be determined uses as well...

Thanks all for the info... I just found an old reflective road-guard safety belt Will try that when the wife doesn't have other plans for me..

Why not stick an IR chemlight into a target with just the end sticking out.
Remove the bolt and get your barrel on target by looking in the bore.

Then bring the laser to below the chemlight or to the chemlight based upon distance.


You can them shoot the chemlights to validate zero.

thumbs up on the day optic procedure. Usually done within in minutes

We have been using something similar for years at Telluric Group to get students zero'd, but they have a whole target developed. It is available on their site.

They currently sell them for PEQ-15, AN/PEQ-15(A), DBAL-I2 and DBAL D2. https://telluricgroup.com/proshop/sighting

It already has your offset calculated and shows where your POA/POI should be at different yards.
