RETICLE

Windage and Moving Targets

The VMR-2 reticle is highly effective when used for wind and
moving target leads. Using the reticle for effective windage and
moving leads will require a thorough knowledge of your cartridge’s
ballistic performance under varying conditions and experience in
reading wind strengths and target speeds. As in bullet drops, it is
imperative the shooter learn their particular weapon’s windage/
moving target corrections in MOAs rather than inches or mrads.
Always hold the reticle into the wind when correcting for wind
drift.

When dialing elevation come ups, the center horizontal crosshair
will be used for windage or moving target leads. MOA marks on
the horizontal and vertical crosshairs are graduated in 4 MOA
increments.
