REVIC | Acura BLR10b Quick Start | Ballistic Solutions

Published on May 16, 2023
Duration: 5:48

This video provides a quick start guide to the Revic BLR10b rangefinding binocular with ballistics. It details two primary methods for obtaining ballistic solutions: 'Base Wind' for rapid, under-700-yard shots, and 'Vector Wind' for more complex, longer-range scenarios requiring precise wind direction and speed input. The guide also covers the 'BDC' or 'shoot-to' range calculation for ballistic turrets.

Quick Summary

The Revic BLR10b offers two primary ballistic solution modes: 'Base Wind' for quick hunting shots under 700 yards, providing a one-button elevation and windage solution, and 'Vector Wind' for longer ranges requiring manual input of wind direction and speed to enable advanced corrections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two primary ballistic solution modes on the Revic BLR10b?

The Revic BLR10b offers two main ballistic solution modes: 'Base Wind' for rapid, under-700-yard hunting shots, and 'Vector Wind' for more precise, longer-range engagements where wind direction and speed are manually entered.

How does the 'Base Wind' solution on the Revic BLR10b simplify shooting?

The 'Base Wind' solution simplifies shooting by providing an elevation and windage solution with a single button press, assuming a programmed nominal wind speed and direction. This is ideal for fast-paced hunting scenarios.

When should a shooter use the 'Vector Wind' solution on the Revic BLR10b?

The 'Vector Wind' solution should be used for shots beyond 700 yards or when precise wind conditions are known. It requires manual input of wind direction and speed, enabling advanced ballistic corrections like aerodynamic jump and Coriolis effect.

What is the BDC solution on the Revic BLR10b?

The BDC (Ballistic Drop Compensated) solution on the Revic BLR10b calculates the exact range to dial on a ballistic turret. It accounts for various environmental factors and will flash between the actual range and the BDC range on the display.
