Frequently Asked Questions

How do the wind dots on the Horus Tremor3 reticle work for a .308 caliber rifle?

For a .308 caliber rifle equipped with the Horus Tremor3 reticle, each wind dot represents 4 miles per hour (mph) of wind. This allows shooters to quickly estimate and compensate for windage by placing the appropriate dot on the target.

Can the Horus Tremor3 reticle be used for precise target measurement (milling)?

Yes, the Horus Tremor3 reticle is designed for precise target measurement. It features subtensions that allow for milling down to 0.1 mil increments, enabling accurate assessment of target size and range estimation.

What are the alternative methods for windage calculation using the Tremor3 reticle?

Beyond the wind dots, the Tremor3 reticle offers 0.2 mil subtensions along the horizontal stadia line. These can be used for more granular windage calculations, extending out to 3 mils and beyond, providing an alternative to the dot system.

How does the Tremor3 reticle help with gusting winds?

The Tremor3 reticle aids in managing gusting winds by allowing shooters to 'drag' the wind dots. This means you can estimate windage between the marked dots, using the spaces to account for fluctuating wind speeds and maintain accuracy.
