EP8 verification on BDC manual process

I get all that, per their own manual I was trying to figure out what they were suggesting. They are suggesting that at those longer ranges to make a dial adjustment. Not me personally, Arken.

Sorry my misunderstaning. The reticle is course. It basically relys on shapes rather than a grauated metric. At range its corsness shows. Even at 600 you have to go to the horizontal bars as a aiming point. At 600 a 5.56 projectile is roughly falling two feet every 100 yards. Aiming points trying to match trajectory at 100 yard intervals are going to have significant error at "inbetweens". The good news to me is that horizontal bar is still a visual cue that lets you know your elevation aiming point is correct albeit not as good as a box fit. Since you are going inbetween the bar should be slightly smaller than the width of the target, Thats how i see the tools flow. Fits in a box yes add wind dope send no horizontal bar slightly less than width of target add wind dope send. The horizontal bars are not exactly in between the aiming point. The boxes would not be correct if they were. They are good enough.

Myself Im finding I need to do a bit of unlearning to use it. The Idea of range can be discarded. Fit the shapes add wind dope.

A reticle is a beutiful representation. This reticle breaks a lot of paradigms. Estetically nice even uniform intervals are pleasing to the human mind. Unfortunatly the human mind can not distinguish between those nice uniform intervals. Thats what this reticle does provides elevation aiming points that serve as visual cues that the elevation aiming point is correct. More or less if you fit the shapes corretly and add correct wind dope and perform your job as the monkey on the trigger the projectile should fall within the designed range.

A mormal reticle shouts ego. After all I am a range estimating wind doping machine taking in my inputs and computing a firing solution that can use a .2 mill grid. Thats what I really like about this reticle. It acknowledges humans are not machines. Humans are very good organic vision engines. We fit shapes phenomonly well, So well that its not even considered a amazing skill.

At first glance the KL reticle looks like somthing alien. It might as well be for it attempts to use a phenomenal human skill in a manner not implemented before.

Myself I find it beyond fascinating. Not only was this concept thought off this skil understood but a developmenr and manufacturing process was pursued to make it a reality. Its offered at a cost that is affordable to say the least. I would expect this sort of innovation from a big expensive manufacturer with lots of RnD that I couldnt afford but no here it is here for me to try to wrap my mind around at a price even a poor guy like me can afford. I feell lucky to experience these things.

As a bona fide monkey trigger monkey Im going to try to do the concept justice. Its going to take some unlearning. Targets are a issue. The whole shebang leverages off of targets that are bigger than my standard 12x18 steel targets. Im going to place cardboard behind them to create the size target the optic was designed for.

I cant help but wonder... If a new shooter that didnt have to unlearn was trained on this concept fit the shape what results would it yield in terms of training time vs effectivness. Ive got a pretty good idea it would yield a previously unseen rate of effectivness vs time spent training.

Im of course not going to give up my optics with uniform reticles that make me think im terminator T2 Arnold. Every system has it limits and out about 6-8oo the coursness of this KL shows. It may be too course for some esthetics even closer. There is nothing wrong with preciscion. How could i say that after pursuing accuracy all these years? Time however is my weakpoint. I go to a IDPA match and every shot has to be perfect. I wont accept that the target is bigger than my ability to place the projectile. But how can anyone deny time? Ultimatly like they say "we all have it coming". This reticle represents a opportunity to me in more way than one. Its a exciting opportunity and i feel very privledged to be able to pursue it. I say this genuinly thank you Arken. Every shooting sport is a exploration into a puzzle of mind and body. This puzzle seems to me based on a understan=ding that will yield previously unseen results.

wtf, over?
