Once you have determined which triangle is the correct one for your rifle

caliber, bullet weight, and muzzle velocity, always remember that is the

position to which you must set the power selector when using any of the hold

points on the Varmint Hunter’s reticle.

DETERMINE THE RANGE TO THE TARGET

Determine the range to your target using a laser rangefinder such as a Leupold

RB800C, or RX or RXB Series digital laser rangefinder. Or

you may determine whether a prairie dog-sized

target is 300 yards or closer by setting

the power selector on the large triangle

and fitting the target in the space

between the top of the bottom post

and the 500 yard aiming line. If the

target is larger than this space, it is

closer than 300 yards. If it is smaller,

then it is farther than 300 yards.

Farther than

300 yds

Closer than

300 yds

NOTE:

You must have your power selector ring positioned on

the large triangle to make a proper determination of range.
