I have become a fan of the 10 yard zero for ARs chambered in 5.56. I finally got around to deciding which rifle (PWS MK111) gets the Eotech I bought on Black Friday and decided to get it zeroed at the house today before I hit the gun club tomorrow. Right on the money at 10 yards, then checked it a 50, and 2 clicks down and I was done for the 50/200 zero.
It's just so much easier to get a 1x optic zeroed in when you can start at 10 yards and actually see the dot line up with the target dot. This is the target that I use, if anyone is interested:

Interesting.

Yeah, can be pretty helpful and save on time and ammo. We use similar offset zero targets in the Army to zero at 25m and have a 50/200 or 300M zeros. They work well if you know your height over bore, or you have folks that are restricted in what they can use. I have also seen offset targets like that for lasers like a PEQ-15
I run my EOTech at 2.26", so it'd take a little more fiddling, or a different target, but that'd get you close.
Here's the current Army Graphic Training Aid for offset zeros:

Those are interesting targets, thanks.
This seems to be "the guy" that's the proponent of it on the civilian side:

At the least, it is good to highlight the point of impact at short range.
