Hi,
What we did was design our own one off custom reticles and then we sendt the drawing on paper to Pecar in Berlin. Pecar then made the reticle as a one off and returned a custom reticle that we could install ourself.
I now made a priciple sketch showing the reticle I used. The sketch is NOT to scale. Rifle was zeroed at 300m with the center dot between the posts. The "bdc-dots" below the centerline were scaled to "fit" a russian helmet at the respective range. On a shootingrange with popup targets to 7 - 800m it was, as I said in the previous post, match correct bdc-dot to helmet size, move dot to center mass and bang. With a popup target at unknown range and direction, with a display time of app 5 seconds, there is no way you have time to dial a scope. Even more so if you have popup tagets appearing at different ranges simultaniously with 10 - 15 seconds display time.
This kind of reticle is not the most accurate, but you can actually fire a round at a target. With a dialing scope, which is much more accurate, or a grid pattern scope, you do not have enough time to shoot. I know, because we did this in competitions.
It's important to note that the popup targets had electronic scoring and hits were recorded instantly.
One stage in a squad match could be "squad in defence" and targets started to pop up at 600m+ and then appeard closer and closer. All hits were recorded for the whole squad kitted with a MG and M72s for a close range tank popup target. There was even tankclatter in speakers
Picture of Pecar reticles that the shooter can install himself. Fasten with two screws
