RANGE ESTIMATING WITH VX-III SCOPES

Selected VX-III scopes have a built-in range estimator. This system uses the Duplex® portion of the reticle in combination with an additional set of numbers on the power selector ring. (Also see the Leupold Range Estimating Reticle Instructions for other reticle types.) In scopes with this feature the space between the tip of the thicker post of the Duplex reticle and the center of the reticle covers 16 inches at 200 yards (the size of a Whitetail buck from backbone to brisket).

NOTE: The Duplex reticle was designed to estimate ranges based on the backbone to brisket dimension of a Whitetail buck. The distance of other game with a body dimension that is known to be 16 inches (or 32 inches if the measurement is taken
