Mike, as I move it out it won't take as much pounding! I like to have he white side facing me, makes it easier to see the hits with the binoc's. What I do is take 2 USPSA targets & turn the tan side towards me & place them behind the white 8X8, this gives me plenty of space around the steel so I can see where I'm missing & I can fine tune whatever gun I'm shooting.
That's where the 2dogs sight comes into play & that's why it's only painted part way down, the bottom of that orange paint is a second sight so I have to add or subtract paint to dial it where I want to be zeroed with the load I'm shooting, usually about 125 yds. Once you get the hang of it, it works really well.
I don't use it very often, I would much rather get under 75 yds but out in the west sometimes you run out of options. Still, most of my shots are 40-60 yds & most guys reading this can make that shot.
