HORUS VISION H59 RETICLE (ET46305Z)
The H59 reticle is a "field-tuned" version of the H58 reticle from Horus Vision®. The horizontal grid is
widenedbyonemilforincreasedwindholdover.Additionally,thecentercrosshasbeenturnedintoa
"broken cross" so groupings are less obscured and more easily seen. The H59 reticle is free of the clutter
of more complex reticles, while still providing more windage and elevation hold capability than any optic
in its class.
The clean design includes wind hold dots that extend beyond the grid. In addition to HorusVision's standard gridded, mil-

an elevation hold your target without using the traditional mil relation formula for range-finding. The steps for determining
an expedient hold are as follows:
• Step 1: Locate a 12" portion of a target.
• Step 2: Find the line above the horizontal stadia that best brackets the 12" target between the moving target lead line
and the horizontal stadia.
• Step 3: Note the number corresponding to the lead line in step 2; divide that line value in half. For example, if the 12"
targetfitsbetweenthe4mphleadlineandthehorizontalstadialine,dividethatinhalftogetavalueof2.
• Step 4:Placethe2milelevationhold(usuallyexpressedas"2milshigh"or"+2mils")ontargetandfire.
This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems, but not all will impact exactly the same. However this
system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or
muzzle velocity, you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt the formula for your needs.
CALCULATING HOLDS FOR MOVING TARGETS
The H59 reticle has a series of even numbers above the main horizontal
stadia. These numbers represent speeds for moving targets at 2, 4, 6,
8 and 10 mph, with additional holds starting at 20 mils and continuing
every 10 mph thereafter to the left and right. These speeds are optimized
for .308 caliber, but may be used with many other calibers.
To hold on a target moving at one of these speeds, simply hold the
portion of the horizontal stadia that intersects with the short line nearest
the number representing the target speed over the moving target,
accounting for possible adjustments for distances different from optimal.
If using the Horus grid (below center) for elevation, use a hold point in
line with the appropriate speed. To hold on a target traveling at a speed
between markings (such as 5 mph) you hold between the even numbers
on either side of it (4 and 6 mph).

HORUS VISION TREMOR3™ RETICLE (ET46305T)
The Tremor3™ reticle is an updated version of the Tremor2 reticle from Horus Vision®. Newly added elements include
Horus patented Rapid Range Bars above the main horizontal stadia for quick range estimation for common-sized targets,
more holdover dots for an expanded uncluttered grid, and extra Speed-Shooting Guides along the 1-mil horizontal stadia
for speed shooting out to 600 meters.
The Tremor3 reticle also features:
• Veryfinereticletoaidinpreciseaimingathighpoweranddistantranges.Refined,patented"chevron"milmarkers
subtend to 0.1 mils. Versatile marker groupings for measuring targets occur throughout the reticle.
• Patented Wind Dots allow for fast and accurate wind holds.
• Holdover crosses to extend wind and elevation hold points beyond the Horus™ Grid while maintaining a clear
uncluttered view.
• Centraldotatcrosshairintersectionforrefinedaimingpointandun-obscuredview.
