Practice Makes Perfect
The Ballistic Plex E1 reticle is much more accurate than
guessing holdover and faster and more reassuring to
most shooters than using target-type adjustments. The
nature of ballistics is such that everything is theoretical
and if any one of the variables change (altitude,
temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, bullet
design, barrel length, chamber fit, seating depth, etc.)
so does the ballistic performance. For maximum accuracy,
practice at long ranges under similar conditions to
those which you will experience in the field.
Technical Tip
For maximum accuracy at long ranges, instead of
sighting in at 100 yards using the center of the reticle,
sight in at a longer range such as 400 yards using the
400-yard ballistic line. This will decrease the amount of
long-range error that can occur under various environ-
mental conditions, or when slightly under estimating
point-of-impact at shorter ranges.
Shoot Responsibly
Long-range shooting is extremely challenging and can
be very rewarding. But along with it comes tremendous
responsibility, especially when hunting. To ensure you
take ethical shots at longer ranges, it is essential to
know the yardage to an animal and your wind conditions.
For these reasons, we strongly encourage that you
practice to determine your own shooting capabilities
and do not shoot beyond them in the field.
