Ever tried to teach someone how to use the reticle in their scope?

A teaching kit might also include a Mil-Dot Master: https://mildot.com

Tim those are awesome. I like how they are engraved into the clear plastic. These will be a huge help when I am trying to show someone the ropes of how to use the reticle at distance.

Put me down for a couple.

CNC router?

CNC router?

Exactly. My cabinet shop has been running CNC routers for the last 15 years. We've learned how to make all kinds of cool things.

This past weekend I spent some time with a friend at the range. They had zero experience shooting past 100-200 yards and that was a plain jane hunting rifle.

We were shooting from 300-600 yards at relatively small targets with my Accuracy International AT-XC in 243 and and AX in 6.5 Manbun.

When I tried to explain where to hold on a target with regards to wind he glazed over. I thought saying "dots are one mil and the hashes are a half mil" was simple. Nope. Then I remembered I had Tim's reticle trainer in the car. I was able to finally show him what he should be seeing in relation to what I was saying.

Picture #2 is how I explained how to aim .5 mil to the right. Picture #3 is 2.7mils for elevation. Picture #4 is 2.0 to the left. I had a dry erase marker and I just scribbled the approx target shape/size on the plexiglass. I could see the lightbulb come on. Magic.

Well done Tim. I took a newbie from not understanding wind and bullet drop to someone that was hitting 6 inch dueling tree targets at 600 yards in just a few shots. He went out and bought an Arken FFP scope to put on his CZ 452. Gotta start somewhere, but we set the hook.

The reticle trainer for my personal favorite reticle. The S&B Gen2 XR.



.5 mil to the right or "hold right edge"



2.7 mil for elevation.



2.0 mil to the left.
