Leapers 30mm 36-color Crossbow Scope (SCP3-1428CRWQ) - Manual (Page 7)

12 13 14
This Target Dot
reticle consists of
a small floating
dot in the center
s u r r o u n d e d
by four thin
posts extending to the edge.
The posts stand out against
the background and help guide
shooter’s focus to the aiming dot
for rapid engagement. This reticle
pattern offer the user eased target
acquisition while sacrificing little in
term of precision.
Pro 4-step reticle
comes with 1
vertical line, 3
horizontal lines
and 4 floating
points. It is
designed for crossbows and other
applications requiring variable
velocity compensation. The first
horizontal line including the first
central piont is used for sighting
in at 20Yds. The 2 lines below
including their middle points are
for quick aiming at 30, 40-yard
distances. The lowest floating
point is for quick aiming at 50-yard
distance.
Bubble level
reticle includes a
precision built-in
bubble leveling
system. The
internal bubble
leveler is located at the bottom
of crosshair with the least field of
view impediment. It is a great tool
for precision scope installation/
crosshair alignment to deliver the
most prominent shooting accuracy.
Circle Dot
reticle includes
a floating circle
and a dot in the
center, which is
ideal for shotgun
shooting, fly hunting as well as
tactical applications that require
quick target acquisition. The
circle and the dot are permanently
etched on glass, not requiring
illumination to be seen. The typical
size is about 1.8MOA for the dot
and about 36MOA for the circle.
Pro 5-step reticle
is designed
for crossbows
and other
a p p l i c a t i o n s
requiring variable
velocity compensation. The reticle
consists of 5 horizontal lines
which are calibrated for 300fps
Crossbows and 1 vertical line
with a thin crosshair in the center.
The first horizontal line is used
for sighting in at 10Yds and the
other horizontal lines below are for
quick aiming at 20, 30, 40, 50-yard
distances.
The Ballistic Drop
Compensation
(BDC) reticle
consists of a
1-mil duplex
center crosshair
surrounded by four 0.5-mil gaps for
target identification and continues
with mil-dot pattern extending
out to 4 Mil in each direction.The
horizontal crosshair is 10 Mils in
total from side to side. The vertical
BDC aiming points are ½ Mil in
diameter and spaced 1 Mil apart
for range estimation and trajectory
hold-over to accommodate a
variety of calibers.
Mil-dot reticle including wire and etched reticle, is
the most widely used reticle on Leapers riflescopes
which provides range estimating capability. The
reticle has a big crosshair throughout the reticle and
multiple dots spread equally apart on the lines in the
central area. The distance between two adjacent
dots is designed to be 1 milli-radian or 3.44MOA at
10X.
The regular mil-dot reticle on the market usually have
4 dots on each direction. Leapers scopes usually has 6 or 9 dots on
each direction to provide more flexibility in range estimating. For mil-dot
reticle with 9 dots on each direction, if you count the 2 inner tips of the
opposite crosshairs, there are 19 aiming points or totally 21 including
the inner tips.
Zeroing the Pro 5-Step Reticle Scope:
Follow the steps below to zero a scope with Pro 5-step Reticle
on a crossbow:
1. Place a target 10 yards away, aim at the center of the target with the
center crosshair and sight in. (Please refer to the Zeroing section for
W/E adjustment)
2. Once sighted in at 10 yards, the center crosshair/line will be zeroed
in at 10 yards, depending on your crossbow and arrow. The 2nd
descending crosshair/line should be accurate at approximately
20 yards, the 3rd descending crosshair/line at approximately 30
yards, the 4th crosshair/line at approximately 40 yards, and the 5th
crosshair/line at approximately 50 yards.
3. Walk back 8-10 yards from the sight-in position and fire shots at
the center of the target with the 2nd descending crosshair/line until
hitting the bulls-eye. Fine-tune the shooting distance back and forth to
determine the accurate yardage of the 2nd descending crosshair/line.
4. Perform the same steps for each of the remaining crosshair lines.
Zeroing the Pro 4-Step Reticle Scope:
Follow the steps below to zero a scope with Pro 4-step Reticle on a
crossbow:
1. First of all, adjust the speed dial ring on the scope to match the
speed of your crossbow (275 to 385 feet per second).
2. Place a target 20 yards away, sight the crossbow in using the top
horizontal line/point. (Please refer to the Zeroing section for W/E
adjustment).
3. Once sighted in at 20 yards, the top horizontal line/point will be
zeroed in at 20 yards. The next line/point should be accurate at
approximately 30 yards, the 3rd line/point at approximately 40 yards,
and the 4th floating point at approximately 50 yards.
4. Fine-tune your scope settings at the 30, 40 or 50-yard line/point
using the scope’s speed dial. If you are hitting high at the 30, 40 or
50-yard distances, adjust the speed dial ring towards a higher speed
level. Or, if hitting low, adjust the dial ring towards a lower speed
level. Adjust until hitting the bulls-eye.
Mil-Dot Range Estimating:
1. 1 mil in a scope reticle is the distance
from the center of one dot to the center
of the next dot.
2. Range estimating requires common
knowledge/experience about your target’s actual width or height.
3. Set your scope at 10X or the biggest power if its highest
magnification is less than 10X. View the target through the scope.
Place the center of the dot against one edge of the target and
measure to the opposite edge of the target.
4. Once the target has been measured in mils, a formula is available
to estimate the distance of the target.
5. Each mil-dot scope comes with a mil-dot card showing the particular
formula applicable to that scope and a pre-calculated mil-dot table
of most used distance estimates to aid the user.
Mil-dot Range Estimating Example:
(The formula is for illustration purposes only. For your mil-dot scope, use
the formula on your mil-dot card.)
For example, based on past experiences, the length of a known animal
from shoulder to tail is 40 inches (1.016 meters), and we see through
a scope at, for example, 9X to find that the animal occupies 9 mils.
Therefore, the distance can be derived from using the following formula -
Hence, (1.016 x 1,000/9) X (9/10) = 101.6 meters (110Yds).
Armed with this knowledge, you can compensate for the bullet’s drop
accordingly and make “great things happen”!

Zeroing Handgun Scope
with the PDC (Projectile
Drop Compensation)
Reticle:
Follow the steps below
to zero a handgun scope
with PDC Reticle:
1. Place target at the most
common distance you
shoot (we recommend
35 yards if possible).
Aim at the center of
the target with center
crosshair and sight in.
(Please refer to the
Zeroing section of the
manual for windage/
elevation adjustment.)
2. Set your scope to the
highest magnification.
Shoot at each 50 or
100 yard increment
depending on the trajectory of your firearm and
cartridge, using one mark in the lower vertical crosshair
each time. Record the bullet point of impact in relation to
your point of aiming.
3. Make adjustment to the shooting distance accordingly to
determine the actual yardage each mark represents. We
highly recommend that you document these distances.
4. Use hold-over or under in real applications for in-
between yardages.
Eyepiece Lock Ring
Your scope is equipped
with an eyepiece lock ring
to prevent movement of
the eyepiece focus during
shooting. To adjust diopter,
first turn the eyepiece
counter-clockwise to loosen
the lock. Then, turn the lock
ring clockwise away from the
eyepiece to allow room for
adjustment. Follow the procedures in the Adjusting Diopter
section of the manual to make adjustment. Once complete, turn
the lock ring counter-clockwise to tighten against the eyepiece.
PDC (Projectile Drop Compensation)
Reticle for Handguns
The Handgun PDC reticle has 3
uniquely shaped marks in the lower
portion of the vertical crosshair
for ballistic drop compensation
at different yardages. Users can
determine the actual yardage each mark represents for
their particular firearm and cartridge following the zeroing
method below. Once properly zeroed, the PDC reticle
provides much better accuracy than simply guessing hold
over or hold under.
