Windage and Moving Targets

The EBR-1 reticle is highly effective when used for
wind and moving target leads. Using the reticle
for effective windage and moving target leads will
require thorough knowledge of your weapons
system’s ballistic performance under varying
conditions and experience in reading wind strengths
and target speeds. As in bullet drops, it is important
for the shooter to learn a particular weapon’s
windage/moving target corrections in MOAs rather
than inches. Always hold the reticle into the wind.

3 MOA reticle windage correction for 400 yard shot in 10 mph
crosswind using center crosshair. Elevation adjustment already dialed
into rifl escope.

When dialing elevation come ups, the center
horizontal crosshair will be used for windage
or moving lead corrections. MOA marks on the
horizontal crosshair are graduated in 2 MOA
increments out to 10 MOAs, and at 5 MOA
increments beyond that.

Basic windage correction on center crosshair
