FIRST FOCAL PLANE RETICLE
The Bushnell Elite Tactical Riflescopes covered by this manual have their reticles located in the first focal plane. Therefore,
the reticle will increase in size when the magnification is increased. This feature allows the continued use of the mil
measurement system contained in the reticle, regardless of the power setting.

ability to range targets with extreme accuracy using .1 mil reference points. The extended horizontal mil markings on the
lower portion of the vertical crosshair can be used for both ranging and windage holds. The entire reticle is shown here,
but the following images will provide a detailed look at the markings on the horizontal and vertical crosshairs.
THE HORIZONTAL CROSSHAIR
On the horizontal crosshair, numerically designated mil markings extend from the
center of the crosshairs outward to the right in 2 mil increments. To keep the reticle
plane clean, the numbers were removed on the left side of the reticle but the reference
points coincide with the markings from the right side of the crosshair. Moving from
the center point to the right in the picture below measurements are as follows: .5 mil,
1 mil, 1.5 mil, 2 mil...etc.
A new feature of the G3 reticles are highlighted hash marks on the horizontal stadia that provide hold off marks for
shooting at moving targets. These "mover marks" are located at 1, 1.25 and 1.5 mils to the left and right of the center
of the crosshairs. You can use a ballistic software program, or a long distance ranging system such as the Bushnell
Elite CONX laser rangefinder with Kestrel Sportsman to determine the correct mover hold for your firearm and ammo
combination.
Extending past the 8 mil mark, the numerals stop. 1 mil increments are then designated by the longer hash marks, which
measure 1.5 mil in height from top to bottom. Ten .1 mil markings are visible between each 1 mil marking, continuing
out to 13 mils from center. The height from top to bottom of the .1 mil markings is 1 mil. The .1 mil markings provide you
with a very precise horizontal measurement of your target.

THE VERTICAL CROSSHAIR
Similar to the horizontal crosshair, the vertical crosshair places the
numerically designated mil markings on only one side. Once again,
the numerically designated markings are found in 2 mil increments
with hash marks every .5 mil. Note the vertical cross hair extends to
provide numerically designated markings up to 10 mils from center.
From the 11th mil measurement downward the reticle returns to the
.1 mil markings, before the next 1 mil marking is seen measuring 1.5
mils across.
The lower portion of the vertical crosshair is different than all
other portions of the reticle. Starting with the 2 and 3 mil mark,
the horizontal hash mark seen in the picture below measures 1 mil
across. See list on next page for horizontal hash mark measurements
extending down to 10 mils.
