User manual BUSHNELL DOA

[. . . ] These aiming points, combined with our innovative Rack Bracket, allows hunters to expand their effective range while also aiding in field judging whitetail or mule deer at extended distances. Bushnell would like to stress that these tools are only as good as the time spent practicing with them. Nothing can replace quality firing range time and becoming comfortable shooting at each of the prescribed yardages, while noting bullet placement. [. . . ] Designed to be used with today's most popular centerfire rifle cartridges, the DOA 600 reticle is intended to be sighted in at 100 yards, and provides aiming points at every 100 yd increment, out to 600 yds. The user can sight-in at 100 yds on any magnification setting, but for the ballistic reticle feature to function properly, the scope's magnification must be set to the correct power. The correct settings for the scopes that include the DOA reticle are as follows: With MOA dots as the long-range aiming points, the DOA offers a higher level of precision than competing extended-yardage reticles. Sight in at 100 yds on any magnification setting 2. If the target is determined to be at 350 yds, hold directly between the 300 yd aiming point and the 400 yd aiming point The DOA 600 reticle will work with any of the following ammunition loads: . This is only a partial list of the ammunition that the reticle is ballistically matched to.

In an effort to help hunters, Bushnell looked at issues that had confronted many of them in the field. Field judging deer, especially via magnified view, can be exceedingly difficult. To help with the field judging of whitetails and mule deer we have incorporated a series of lines that extend out from each aiming point. each lines measures 24 inches at the respective distance. There will also be two "hash marks" on each line that measure 17 inches between them. Why did we choose 24" and 17"?After extensive research it was determined that 24 inches represents the average width of a mule deer's ears and 17 inches was the average width of a whitetail's ears. Given proper time to judge an animal, a hunter can now get an estimate of rack width, and possibly even tine length. Rack Bracket estimations are for reference only and may not be exact. [. . . ] For the most accurate distance measurement, use a Bushnell Laser Rangefinder (for best results, a model with angle range compensation (ARC) is recommended- for example, the Scout 1000 ARC, Legend 1200 ARC, etc). Turn the scope's power ring to the appropriate position. If the distance matches one of the prescribed aiming points you can utilize the Rack Bracket to gauge antler width. [. . . ]
