Just all the info for using the varmint hunters reticle, for distances of 300, 400 and 500 yards, which holdover points to use for all three distances on 25 power and also have each distance dialed in on a lower power for bad mirage days and whatnot. Distances between like 375 yards and just compensated by slightly more holdover.
