| Adjustable Objective |
The adjustable Objective allows operator
to focus at distances over 100 yards and adjust for a
condition called Parallax. Parallax occurs when
viewing distant targets, and the reticle appears to shift
or move. Scopes with adjustable objective lenses have
markings that allow you to adjust the focus for specific
ranges. This occurs when the image in the scope is in one
focal plane, and the reticle is in another. Most scopes
without adjustable objectives are factory set to
compensate for parallax and focus at an optimum distance
of 100 or 150 yards. Parallax is usually only an issue at
magnification over 10 power. |

| Angle of View |
The Angle of View is the angle between the
left and right edges of the field of view at 1000 yards
from the Binoculars' point of view. |
| |
|
| Apparent Angle of View |
The Apparent Angle of View is this same
angle with the binoculars' magnification figured in, the
Apparent is simply the (magnification x Angle of View). |
| Aperture |
The size of the binoculars' objective
lenses. The second number represented in the numbers
describing a set of binoculars, measured in millimeters. |
| Binoculars |
An optical device, such as a pair of field
glasses or opera glasses, designed for simultaneous use by
both eyes and consisting of two small telescopes joined
with a single focusing device. Binoculars are available
with fixed or variable magnifications. |

| Center Focus |
A mechanism in Binoculars that allows both
eyepieces to be adjusted at the same time, useful for
rapid focus. |
| Close Quarter Combat |
Close Quarters Battle (CQB)
or close quarters combat (CQC) is a type of
fighting in which small units engage the enemy with
personal weapons at very short range, potentially to the
point of hand-to-hand combat. In the typical CQB scenario,
the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a
vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who
usually have no easy way to withdraw. Because enemies,
hostages/civilians, and fellow operators can be closely
intermingled, CQB demands a rapid assault and a precise
application of lethal force. The operators need great
proficiency with their weapons, but also the ability to
make split-second decisions in order to avoid or limit
friendly casualties. CQB is defined as a short-duration,
high-intensity conflict, characterized by sudden violence
at close range.
