GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The DOA reticle gives hunters a series of aiming points that correspond to various black powder and centerfire loads.
These aiming points, combined with our innovative Rack Bracket, allows hunters to expand their effective range
while also aiding in field judging whitetail or mule deer at extended distances.
Bushnell would like to stress
that these tools are only as good as the time spent practicing with them.
Nothing can replace
quality firing range time and becoming comfortable shooting at each of the prescribed yardages, while noting bullet
placement. It is imperative for the hunter to spend time at the range, gaining familiarity with the reticle and how
it works with their firearm and bullet load. Ballistic performance can vary depending upon a number of factors,
including barrel length, powder type, bullet type, and numerous weather/atmosphere related variables.
THE DOA 250 RETICLE – For Muzzleloaders
Scopes with the DOA 250 are designed to be sighted-in at 100 yds, with aiming points every 50 yds, out to 250
yds. The top of the reticle’s bottom post represent approximately 300 yds. The shooter can use either .45 or .50
cal ammunition, and either 100 grains or 150 grains of Triple 7 pellets. The ballistic chart provided below is an
abbreviated version of the more complete one available online at: http://www.bushnell.com/customer_service/
manuals/rifle.cfm.
The scope must also be set to the proper magnification for the reticle’s ballistic feature to function properly. In the
case of a 3-9x 40mm scope, the power change ring must be set at 9x for the ballistic function and Rack Bracket
to work correctly.
