Predator Quest Riflescope Reticles
Ballistic Plex E1
™
The Ballistic Plex E1
™
reticle helps you overcome two of
the biggest challenges when shooting long-distance:
determining holdover at distance and hold-off for
wind drift. This technology is based on the popular
Burris Ballistic Plex reticle that redefined trajectory
compensation.
Trajectory Compensation
To better determine holdover and compensate for
bullet drop, the patented Burris design incorporates
hash marks on the lower vertical crosshair that are
calibrated to provide dead-on aiming from 100 yards
to 500 yards for many of the most common hunting
cartridges. Examples of the actual bullet path for many
of the most popular cartridges are available for down-
load on our website at www.burrisoptics.com.
For calculating wind drift, the E1 reticle has a series of
small cascading dots, placed to the left and right of the
reticle. These dots represent the effect of a 10 mph
crosswind for most predator hunting cartridges. For a
5 mph crosswind, simply hold into the wind half the
distance to the dot. If the crosswind is 20 mph, simply
hold into the wind twice the distance from the center
post to the dot. If you know the distance to your target
and the speed of the wind, you can quickly determine
the correct aiming point to compensate for both
bullet drop and drift.
