Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATN Auxiliary Ballistic Laser (ABL)?

The ATN Auxiliary Ballistic Laser (ABL) is a laser rangefinder designed to attach to ATN Smart HD scopes. It pairs via Bluetooth and provides instantaneous range data to the scope's ballistic calculator, which then automatically adjusts the reticle for precise shot placement at extended distances.

How does the ATN ABL work with ATN Smart Scopes?

Once paired via Bluetooth and with a ballistic profile set in the scope, a single press of the function button activates the ABL's invisible IR laser. It measures the target's range and sends this data to the scope, which instantly calculates the exact point of impact and shifts the reticle accordingly.

What is the process for aligning the ATN ABL with a scope?

Initial alignment involves attaching the ABL, pairing it with the scope, and then using a visible red laser that emits from the ABL. The user aims the rifle and overlays the scope's ranging reticle precisely over the visible red laser point to ensure accurate alignment. This visible laser is only used during setup.

What are the price points for the ATN ABL units?

The ATN ABL 1000, offering a range of up to 1000 yards, is priced at $299. The ATN ABL 1500, which extends the range to 1500 yards, is available for $379. These prices are considered affordable for the advanced technology they provide.
