In the past few years, Range Estimating reticle has begun to be recognized as a very useful tool by hunters and shooters around the world. With some patient learning and practices, this tool can enhance shooting accuracy and performance in ways not imagined before. Staying ahead of the trend, Leapers offers two most unique Range Estimating reticles, TRE and ARE, to our customers and continue to develop more for the future.

Regular mil-dot reticle found on the market usually has 4 dots on each direction of the cross hair, giving you 9 different aiming points for either windage or elevation. If you count the 2 inner tips of the opposite duplex cross hairs, you get 11 aiming points. Leapers’s own 24 Mil-Dot Reticle (TRE) has 6 dots on each direction of the cross hair, giving you 13 aiming points or 15 including the inner tips of the duplex cross hairs.
  • Mil-Dot Range Estimating:


    1. Range estimating requires common knowledge/experience about your target's actual width or height.
    2. Set your scope at 10X or the proper power, depending on the scope. 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.




    3. Once the target has been measured in mils, depending on the scope model, a formula is available to estimate the distance of the target.
    4. Each scope will come with a pre-calculated mil-dot table of most used distance estimates to aid the user.

  • Mil-Dot Range Estimating Example:


    • 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 a scope to find that it occupies 5 mils. Therefore, the distance can be derived from using this scope's formula below -
  (Height or Width of Target in Meters) x 1,000 = Range in Meters (1 M = 1.0936 Yards)
2 x (Height or Width of Target in Mils.)
Hence, (1.016 x 1,000) / (2 X 5) = 101.6 meters (110 yds).
Armed with this knowledge, you can compensate for the bullet’s drop accordingly and make “great things happen”!
 

For fixed distance shooting at multiples of hundred meters, our ARE range estimating reticle allows you to aim at targets of variable lengths / widths with pinpoint accuracy. By clicking on SPECIFICATIONS, the illustration shows varying target widths at 100 meters. Proportionally, shooters can derive the target width for 200 meters, 300 meters, and so on.
