Reticle Focus
Your Viper riflescope uses a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and
easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle.
To adjust the reticle focus:
1. Look through the scope at a blank
white wall or up at the sky.
2. Turn the eyepiece focus knob in or
out until the reticle image is as crisp
as possible.
TIP: Try to make this particular
adjustment quickly as your eye will try
to compensate for an out-of-focus reticle.
Once this adjustment is complete, it will not be necessary to re-focus
every time you use the crossbow scope. However, because your eyesight
may change over time, you should re-check this adjustment periodically.
Warning
Looking directly at the sun through a crossbow scope, or any optical
instrument, can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.

The Focal Plane
All riflescope reticles can be termed either first focal plane (FFP)
or second focal plane (SFP) according to the internal location of
the reticle within the scope. This model features a second focal
plane reticle design.
Second Focal Plane Reticles
Second focal plane reticles are located near the eyepiece behind
the image erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle does
not visually change in size when you change the magnification.
The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the
same ideal visual appearance.
