The TRMR2 reticle has 14 wind dots left to right. 7 wind dots to the left and 7 wind dots to the right of center. Each dot accounts for 3,4,
or 5 mph of wind depending on the Ballistic Coefficient you are using.

Ballistic Coefficient

Wind Dot Value

.3

5 mph

.4

4 mph

.5

3mph

For example, if you were holding +8 Mils of elevation and accounting for a right to left crosswind at 20 mph wind using a .4 BC you
would use the 5th wind mark. You will notice the 4th wind marking is designated by a cross rather than a dot. This can be used to make
wind adjustments faster as you memorize the unique mark as a specific wind hold value (varies dependant on BC). Additionally, you will
find wind dots located at the ½ mil marks down the vertical stadia.

CALCuLATing FoR MovERS

Calculations for movers have been designated by numbers (1-9). These numbers not only represent the elevation Mil markings as you
move down the stadia but also represent holds for movers moving at 4 mph. To adjust for 4 mph movers, first adjust for elevation and
then move reticle so the number is covering your intended target; send your shot.
