I did some range work with Kent today and we got some more "field" pictures just to see how the reticle stacks up against the original concept.
It exceeded expectations.
The simplicity of the reticle makes it a no brainer to accurately engage targets w/o even getting into doing the math of ranging. Essentially with a 25 meter BZO on an M-16 if the bad guy fits in one half section of the stadia lined cross hair (5 mils or so), center and send it. No holds, no ranging, no guessing. Down and dirty, fast and simple with one zero out to 300 and a bit. It gets even better in a 308 or other high performance AR based cartridge.
25 yards @ 6X Nice and easy
25 yards at 1.5X Great field of view nice target picture
50 Yards @ 6X At 6"-2" I fill the circle
50 Yards @ 1.5X Lots of field of view nice target picture
100 Yards @ 6X I fill the stadia section of the cross hair
200 yards @ 6X I fit in 1/2 of the stadia
300 yards @ 6X My chest fits inside the area of the floating cross hair
For those that were interested we are also going ahead with the 1.8 - 10X reticle. More to come on that.
Cheers,
Doc
