UTG® OP3 1.5-6X36 30mm Crossbow Scope, AO, RGB, 130 Hunter BDC

The 130 Hunter reticle features a “through the viewfinder” bubble leveler located at the 6 o’clock and ballistic drop compensation and range estimating markers out to 130 yards. Markers found down the central spine of the reticle illuminate and are calibrated to match crossbow ballistics from 20 yards up to 130 yards using 10 yard increments. The center of the reticle marker is calibrated for a 50 yard target distance for general ease of use.

The bubble leveler is internal and is not a separate external attachment. Located unobtrusively at the 6 o’clock position, the bubble leveler aids in correcting any cant the user may have while aiming. Being internal allows the user to focus their attention primarily on the target and reticle, while secondarily allowing for quick cant adjustments by seeing the leveler through their peripherals.

BUBBLE LEVELER:

The bubble leveler is internal through the viewfinder and is not a separate external attachment. Located unobtrusively at the 6 o’clock position, the bubble leveler aids in correcting any cant the user may have while aiming. Being internal allows the user to focus their attention primarily on the target and reticle, while secondarily allowing for quick cant adjustments by seeing the leveler through their peripherals.

BALLISTIC DROP COMPENSATION (BDC):

The 130 Hunter Reticle provides 12 point of aim markers for the user to quickly acquire the target with after having determined the range to target. Some of the more common range to target distances feature yardage indicators for quick reference.

RANGE ESTIMATION:

• Requirements:
  • Knowledge of the average width of the target in inches
  • Velocity of crossbow with preferred bolt matching with that of the velocity adjustment setting on the scope
  • Matching Range estimation chart (provided) for the velocity adjustment setting on the scope
• Procedure:
  • Use the reticle’s horizontal dot pair that best matches with the target’s width and note the dot pair’s yardage
  • Using the range estimation chart, find the dot pair yardage you used on the left hand side of the chart
  • In the row associated with your dot pair yardage, find the target width listed that matches or comes the closest to your actual target’s width
  • The range in yards at the very top of the chart that is in line within the same column of your target’s width is the estimated range to target. This yardage value is the crosshair along the BDC you would use to aim at your target
• Example:
  • The kill zone of a medium sized deer has an average width of 11”
  • Your Crossbow’s velocity is 350 FPS, the scope velocity adjustment ring is set to 350, and the range estimation chart you are using is the matching 350 FPS velocity
  • The deer’s 11” target width matches with the reticle’s 60 yard dot pair when looking through the glass
  • Chart is read as follows and estimates the distance to the deer to be 40 yards away
  • The 40 yard crosshair along the BDC is the crosshair you would then use to aim with
