USING THE RANGING RETICLE
The R/T reticle is based on an angular measurement called
the milliradian (MRAD) which allows you to calculate ranges
when comparing the reticle to an object of a known dimension.
The key to effective ranging with this reticle is knowing the
measurements of common objects in your vicinity.

The R/T reticle uses a
system that is based
on a silhouette for
quick ranging.
All silhouette dimensions are
accurate at the listed ranges.

BASIC OPERATION
Adjust eyecup for best viewing
Adjust the Eyecups
The heavy-duty Winged
Eyecup folds up and down
for optimal viewing with or
without eyeglasses. If you are viewing with eyeglasses, fold
the eyecup down for best viewing. The Eyecup will rotate
to accommodate use with either your left or right eye.
Adjust the Image Focus
To adjust the image focus,
rotate the Image Focus Wheel
until the image is in focus.
Adjust the Reticle Focus
The Reticle Focus Wheel
adjusts the sharpness of the
reticle. While looking at a
blank wall or blue sky, rotate
the Reticle Focus Wheel
until the reticle is in focus.

Ranging with MRAD
MRAD measurements are effective for ranging using a
simple formula. Knowing the size of the target or a nearby
object is essential to using these formulas.
For the most accurate solution, use the longest dimension.
If the object is taller than it is wide, it is best to use the
object’s height in the formula. Using either the vertical
or horizontal MRAD scale, place the reticle on a target of
known dimensions and read the number of MRAD spanned.
You will obtain the best results if measured to the nearest
1/10th MRAD.
Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold. The
optic should be firmly braced using a rest or a tripod. Once
you have an accurate MRAD reading, use the formula to
calculate the distance.

Attachment
point on the
monocular.
3. Pull the clip
through the
loop and
cinch tight.
4. Re-attach
the clip to
the Lanyard.
Quick Ranging with Silhouettes
The silhouettes used in the R/T reticle
are based on an average 20-inch
shoulder width and 11-inch head
width. To use, simply match the
object being ranged to the closet
silhouette in shape and read the
indicated yardage. You may also use
other dimensions on the silhouette
and compare to objects of known
dimension to obtain range estimation.

Integrated Objective and Ocular Lens Caps
The RECCE Pro®HD has Integrated Objective and Ocular
Lens Caps. The Ocular Lens Cap is designed to fit snugly
inside the Winged Eyecup.
MOLLE/PALS Compatible Pouch
The RECCE Pro®HD comes with a pouch that may be

the optic to dry out completely before putting it in the case for storage.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Your RECCE Pro®HD monocular requires very little routine
maintenance other than periodically cleaning the exterior
lenses. The exterior may be cleaned by wiping with a soft
cloth. When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that
are specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses.
• Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to
wiping the surfaces.
• Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure
alcohol can help remove stubborn dried water spots.
Lubrication
All monocular components are permanently lubricated, so no
additional lubricant should be applied.
Note: Do not attempt to disassemble any monocular components.
Disassembling of the monocular may void warranty.
Storage
If possible, avoid storing your scope in direct sunlight or any
very hot location for long periods of time.
