5THE USE OF MIL-BASED RETICLESTo use Horus reticles, you must know the actual size of the target.1. View the target through the scope.2. Place the center of the crosshair against one edge (top, bottom, oreither side) of the target so that the crosshair extends along eitherits width or height.3. Using the hash marks, measure along the crosshair to the oppositeedge of the target.If the center of the crosshair is against one edge of the target andthe opposite edge of the target is positioned behind the centerof the second mil mark, the target measures 2 mils. If it is exactlybetween the second and third mil mark, it measures 2.5 mils, etc. Themore specific you are in your estimation of the size of the target inmils (2.75 mils, etc.), the more accurate your results will be. This isespecially important in estimating the range of a small target or inestimating the range of a target at a great distance (i.e. beyond 500yards). Once the measurement of the target has been determinedin mils, the range can be estimated. This can be done in two ways;either by consulting the charts in this manual or by using thefollowing formula:
(Height of Target in Yards x 1,000) ÷ Height of Target in Mils = Rangeof the Target in YardsThis formula will also give results in metric terms if meters instead ofyards are used in the equation.For your convenience, <strong>Leupold</strong> has included range estimating tables(see Tables 1-8). To use these tables, locate the actual size of thetarget along the top of the table and the apparent size of the target,as measured in mils, along the side of the table. Follow both untilthey converge. This is the estimated distance to the target.6
