| Rangefinder Reticle |
 The
first thing to understand about rangefinder scopes is that
they all have a single magnification setting at which the
reticle works. For military scopes, this is usually x10,
but civilian scopes often have other settings. The
rangefinder reticle is useless unless the magnification is
set properly. The reticle will have measuring aids marked
out on it, either in the form of hatches or bars or both,
that will assist the eye in making easy size measurements.
These are attuned to something that is easily found by the
shooter and generally the same approximate size. Many
hunting scopes with rangefinding reticles use "deer chest"
increments, for example. These are scaled to the average
size of a deer chest. Comparing how many hatch marks or
bars the deer chest occupies at the proper magnification
tells the shooter how far away the target is |
| Red Dot Reticle |
 The
red dot Reticle only illumines in the center giving you a
2 moa dot for easy shot placement in virtually any light
condition. Simple crosshair with center 2MOA Red Dot. |
| Reticle |
The reticle is common
referred to as the "Crosshairs which comes from the
originally reticles which are two thin wires crossed
inside the scope. Reticles are on found in a wide variety
of designs including but not limited to Dots, Pointed
posts, Range finders, Red Dots, Small crosses, Mil-Dots,
duplex, multi-Plex and many more. Short version. this the
part of the scope that allows the shooter to aim at the
target. |

| Rubber Armor Coating |
Protects binoculars from minor
shocks and drops while also providing the user with better
grip. Also enhances weatherproofing potential. |
| Small Cross |
 Similar
to the red dot Reticle, the small cross only illuminates a
small portion of the Reticle for those who do not want
full illumination. |
| Trajectory |
Refers to the path the
projectile (Bullet) travels from the barrel to the target.
The flight of the bullet is in an Arc. The amount of the
arc depends on the projectiles weight and velocity. |
