5. Operating the Sight

5.1 Reticle Illumination

The prism sight features an illuminated 1MOA center dot with 10 brightness levels. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the side of the sight to adjust brightness. Press and hold the '-' button to turn the illumination off. The reticle is etched, allowing for use even without battery power.

5.2 Zeroing the Sight

To zero your sight, it is recommended to start at 100 yards. Use the elevation and windage adjustment turrets. Each click typically represents 1 MOA (Minute of Angle) adjustment. Turn the turrets to move the point of impact to match your point of aim.

5.3 Using the BDC Reticle

The BDC (Bullet Drop Compensation) reticle is calibrated for .223 5.56x45mm ammunition. After zeroing at 100 yards, use the dots and hash marks below the main aiming point to compensate for bullet drop at longer distances. Refer to the reticle diagram for specific holdover points.

5.4 Top Footprint for Red Dot

The top of the prism sight features a mounting platform for a compact red dot sight (not included). This allows for quick transitions between magnified and 1x (red dot) aiming, ideal for close-quarters battle (CQB) scenarios. The platform is compatible with RMSC footprint optics.
