maximum distance needed. Measure the bullet drop at each distance and then convert the drop into moa. Multiply the moa by 4. Using this number, count the number of tick marks on the dial and mark the distance.

If Bullet Drop is:

@300 yds

@300 m

@500 yds

@500 m

 

 

 

 

 

Use:

 

 

 

 

A

25-31 inches

63-79 cm

114-146 inches

291-370 cm

 

 

 

 

 

B

20-25 inches

50-63 cm

88-114 inches

225-291 cm

C

16-20 inches

40-50 cm

72-88 inches

182-225 cm

 

 

 

 

 

D

13-16 inches

34-40 cm

61-72 inches

155-182 cm

 

 

 

 

 

E

12-13 inches

30-34 cm

55-61 inches

139-155 cm

F

10-12 inches

25-30 cm

47-55 inches

119-139 cm

 

 

 

 

 

G

8-10 inches

20-25 cm

39-47 inches

99-119 cm

H

Less than 8 inches

Less than 20 cm

Less than 39 inches

Less than 99 cm

 

 

 

 

 

Example: Suppose you have a bullet drop of 9 inches at 300 yds. This is a drop of 3 moa. Since the clicks are ¼ moa, the drop for 300 yds would be 12 tick marks.

USING MIL DOTS

Your new Bushnell® YARDAGE PRO® LASER RANGEFINDER RIFLESCOPE contains a mil-dot reticle. Since the riflescope already contains an integrated laser rangefinder, it is not likely that you will

need the mil dot for measuring distance, but is useful for precise leads for moving targets and exact compensation for shooting in a crosswind. There are certain situations that may not allow one enough time to range to an animal, and having the mil-dot reticle is second alternative in measuring distance.

The middle of this reticle contains four evenly spaced mil-dots arrayed outward vertically and horizontally from the center. Actually, because the very center dot was left out to allow clear aiming, the reticle represents five mils in any direction.

One mil is the space from center-dot to center-dot. One-half and one-quarter mils are easy to estimate mentally; with practice, you can measure tenths of mils for the most exact ranging.

RANGING WITH YOUR MIL-DOT RETICLE

The mil is an angular measurement— a milliradian—which equals almost precisely one yard at 1000 yards, or one meter at 1000 meters. This proportional relationship makes possible a simple formula to compute distances:

The Measured Object’s Width Or Height In Yards x 1000

= Range In Yards

Object’s Width Or Height In Mils

This formula works equally well with meters, but don’t mix meters and yards: Measure the object in yards to find the distance in yards, use meters to yield distances in meters.

20-4124EU, 20-4124 specifications

The Bushnell 20-4124 and 20-4124EU models represent a significant advancement in the realm of binoculars, catering to outdoor enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and sporting event attendees. These models are designed to deliver a premium viewing experience while maintaining ergonomic efficiency and portability.

One of the standout features of the Bushnell 20-4124 and 20-4124EU is their powerful magnification capabilities. With a standard magnification of 8x, these binoculars enable users to get an up-close view of distant objects while still maintaining a wide field of view. This balance makes them ideal for various activities, whether spotting wildlife at a national park or watching a game from the stands.

The objective lens diameter of 42mm enhances light transmission, providing vibrant and clear images even in low-light conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for dusk or dawn observations when many animals are most active, allowing users to capture details that would otherwise be missed.

The quality of optics is further boosted by the use of fully multi-coated lenses, which reduce light reflection and increase brightness and contrast. These advancements ensure that users experience sharp, high-contrast images with exceptional color accuracy, making nature observation more enjoyable.

Durability is another hallmark of the Bushnell 20-4124 and 20-4124EU. The robust construction includes a rugged, water-resistant housing, ensuring that they perform well in challenging weather conditions. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor adventures, where moisture and unpredictable elements are often encountered. The non-slip rubber armor provides a secure grip, enhancing usability in all situations.

Another innovative aspect lies in the convenience and versatility of the binoculars. The compact design makes them lightweight and easy to carry, while the adjustable eyecups allow for comfortable viewing, catering to users who wear glasses. Additionally, a close focus capability of roughly 15 feet enables users to observe nearby subjects clearly, increasing their utility for closer-range observations.

In conclusion, the Bushnell 20-4124 and 20-4124EU models exemplify modern binocular technology with their impressive magnification, superior optical quality, and durable design. These binoculars are perfect for various outdoor activities, offering users the ability to explore the world around them with clarity and precision.
