REPLACING THE EYEPIECE ON YOUR
ARES G2 UHD SPOTTING SCOPE
The xed 22 power eyepiece is interchangeable with the regular
eyepiece on any Ares G2 UHD spotting scopes.
First, hold the spotting scope with eyepiece facing to you and
rotate the regular eyepiece counterclockwise until it becomes
loose.
Second, put the xed power eyepiece in and rotate it clockwise
until it can not be turned anymore.

THE ATHLON® TSSR2 SFP MIL RETICLE
TSSR2 SFP MIL Reticle in a xed 22 power eyepiece is designed for
Ares GEN2 UHD Spotting Scope for all types of ranging applications.
The MIL based reticle has 0.2 MIL hash marks from the center ex-
tended into three directions. The “T” shape reticle with the horizontal
base line 1 MIL below the center of the eld of view doesn’t block
the spotter’s view over his or her target. The unique design of quick
ranging cross-hairs (12 inches above, 6 inches cross, 18 inches below)
help you to range your shooting target from 300 yards to 1000 yards at
a blink of your eyes. The 72 inch span from the top of the cross to the
foot mark at the bottom gives you a quick reading of a standing per-
son of average height at different distances. The 0.1 MIL hash mark
between 5th MIL and the 6th MIL provides the nest measurement
when you need that level of details.
APPLICATION: All Range

RETICLE SUBTENSIONS
The TSSR2 SFP MIL reticle is based on the milliradian, usually
shortened to mrad or MIL. A “MIL” is dened as “one thousandth”,
or 1/1000. A MIL is 1/1000 of a radian ( a unit of angular measure-
ment). Since there are 6.2832 radians in a circle, and each radian is
chopped up into a thousand pieces, there are 6.2832 x 1000 = 6,283.2
MIL in a circle. Since there are 360 degree in a circle, we can get
360 degree/6,283.2 MIL=0.573 degree/MIL. If the target is 100 yards
( 3600 inches) away, we can use 3600 Tan (.0573 degree) to get 3.6
inches which means 1 MIL equals to 3.6 inches at 100 yards.
NOTE: The crosses and the foot marks (see page 6) with numbers
between them are the quick ranging guides. Those guides are
uniquely calibrated so they represent the same dimensions at
different distances. The number below the cross represents the
yardage in hundreds. You can simply t check the guides against a
known size target. Once you identied a t just read out the number
below the cross in hundred yards, which are the distances between
you and the target.

DISTANCE RANGING
Equations for ranging distance to a target using MIL
Because the actual or at least closest estimate of the height of your
target is the key part of above equations, you have to know the
height of your target or heights of other objects nearby your target
that are known to you.
As you can see the actual reading of your target is another key vari-
able in those equations, you want to put your spotting scope on a
steady rest or tripod as much as possible so you could get an ac-
curate reading. If needed using the smallest measurement on the
reticle to get the most accurate readings.
Height of Target (Yards) x 1000
MIL Reading on Reticle = Distance to Target (Yards)
Height of Target (Inches) x 27.8
MIL Reading on Reticle = Distance to Target (Yards)
Height of Target (Meters) x 1000
MIL Reading on Reticle = Distance to Target (Meters)
Reading a 5-foot target (1.667 yard) at 2 MIL gives 833.5 yards
EXAMPLE 1
1.667 yards x 1000 = 833.5 yards
2 MIL

The distance between the top of the cross and the foot mark of any
ranging guide is 72 inches. If you can t a 72 inch tall target into the
quick ranging guide, just read out the numbers under that guide in
hundred yards. In this example the distance to the target is 500 yards.
EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 3
The height of the cross of the ranging guides is 30 inches. If you can
t a 30 inch tall target into any cross just read out the number under
that praticular cross. In this example the distance to the target is
300 yards.
