Using the DOA Quick Ballistic Reticle
The DOA Quick Ballistic Reticle features multiple aiming points to compensate for bullet drop at extended ranges. After sighting in at 100 yards, use the Bushnell Ballistic App to determine the appropriate aiming point for your specific ammunition and target distance. The reticle also includes wind-hold lines calibrated for a 5-mph crosswind at each distance, aiding in precise shot placement.

Entretien
Optique de nettoyage
To clean the lenses, first, gently brush away any loose dust or debris with a soft lens brush or compressed air. Then, use a clean, soft lens cloth (preferably microfiber) and a small amount of lens cleaning solution. Wipe the lenses in a circular motion, starting from the center and working outwards. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the multi-coated surfaces.
