ESTABLISHING EYE RELIEF ON HANDGUN SCOPES

Since handguns are typically fired from an arms-extended position, eye relief is less of a safety issue than with riflescopes. However, it’s still important to get the eye relief right for you.

1.Holding the handgun in your normal shooting stance, position the scope in the rings to achieve a full field-of-view.

2.Proceed to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.

The eye relief of handgun scopes is more forgiving than that of riflescopes.

Nevertheless, it is

important that the eye relief

is compatible with your shooting style.
