AIMING
The Varmint Hunter’s reticle is a hold point reticle. For targets judged to be 300
yards away, hold directly on the 300 yard hold point. For 350 yard targets, hold
directly between the 300 and 400 yard hold points, for 450 yard targets hold
directly between the 400 and 500 yard hold points.
WIND COMPENSATION
The left and right edges of the 300, 400, and 500 yard hold points may be used
as 10 mph wind compensators. To correct for a wind speed of 10 mph, place the
edge of the hold point for the distance of the target directly on the target when
aiming. To correct for a 20 mph wind, place the small square to the right or left
of the appropriate 10 mph hold point directly on the target when aiming.
CONCLUSION
• Choose the appropriate ballistics group
• Sight-in at the distance required by that group (this may be done at any
magnification setting)
• Adjust the magnification to the appropriate triangle before using any of the
long range hold or windage points
