I debated where to put this, but since it's about how setup will affect carbine use, "pre-tactics" if you will, I decided to put it here. Came across this article today which, near the end (Using Lasers and Optics section), seems to have a genius solution to the issue of hold-over with the AR platform.

In short, red dot mounted at 12 o'clock and laser mounted at 6 o'clock are both zeroed at 50 yds.
Both dots can be seen through the optic to converge at 50 yards.
At distances less than 50 yards, the point of impact is half-way between the dots as viewed through the optic.
Seems like a nifty idea. Has anyone tried a setup like this?
