NOTE:
Although you may not need more than one shot to Zero your scope, we do recommend that you fire additional shots once the initial zero process is complete to insure the optic and weapon are truly Zeroed. If additional corrections need to be made to fine tune the zero, then make those corrections as needed.

MIL-DOT RETICLE

The MIL-DOT reticle has the standard dimensions of a classical MIL-DOT.
At base magnification, it can be used to quickly aim with the center at low magnifications.
At high magnification it can be used to measure object sizes at known distances or range to an object of known size.
It can be used to compensate for bullet drop and for windage at different distances within the reticle range of +/- 5 mil.

ATN Predator reticle

The ATN Predator reticle is specially designed for predator hunting. It is designed to match the ballistic profile and drop for most of the 55 gr. bullets in .223 Remington and 165 gr. bullets in .308 Winchester
It can be used to quickly aim with the center chevron at 100 yards and to shoot at ranges up to 500 yards with ballistic compensation through 100 yards. The reticle also accommodates wind compensation for 5 mph side wind.
The central crosses of the reticle are used for rangefinding and represent the angular dimension corresponding to 10 inches at the distance for the compensation.

Here an explanation of the reticle and its components:

The range finding capabilities of the reticle are designed for coyote hunting and the size of the elements correspond to coyote body height at the chest area. Here is an explanation of the stadiametric rangefinding capabilities of the reticle:

Example:

The coyote chest has about 10 inch vertical size and it approximately fits the cross that corresponds to 300 yards. That means that in order to compensate for the drop, the shooter needs to aim with the same cross that fits the size of the coyote chest - namely the center of the first cross from the top to the bottom.
