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 200 RETICLE – For Slug Guns

Scopes with the DOA 200 are designed to be sighted-in at 100 yds. Incorporated into the reticle is a 50-yd holdunder, along with 150 yds and 200 yds holdover aiming points. The shooter can use either 12 gauge or 20 gauge loads.

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.

How To Use the Reticle:

1. Sight in at 100 yds on any magniﬁcation setting

2. Determine distance to target. For the best accuracy in determining distance, utilize a Bushnell Laser Rangeﬁnder (Scout 1000 ARC, G Force 1300 ARC).

3. Set the scope’s magniﬁcation to 9x (9 power).

4. Place the appropriate aiming point on the desired target. If the target was determined to be at 175 yds, hold directly between the 150 yd aiming point and the 200 yd aiming point.

THE DOA CROSSBOW RETICLE – For all Crossbows

The new Crossbow DOA from Bushnell was designed for the dedicated crossbow hunter, and built to demanding standards with input from the nation’s leading experts in crossbow technology.

The Crossbow DOA is based on a 20-yard zero with aiming points every 10 yards, out to 50 yards (see below). The top of the bottom post provides a 60-yard aiming point. The reticle is ballistically calibrated to be used at the 1.75X setting on the scope’s power ring. This gives the user a solid stopping point to make sure they select the right power to properly use the reticle, along with a wide FOV to view the target and make sure it is ethically a clean, safe shot.

The ballistic data was derived from repeated testing of a crossbow that shoots 300 fps with a 315 grain arrow and 100 grain broadhead. While the reticle will work with any speed, arrow weight or broadhead weight, Bushnell must stress the importance of practicing with your own set-up and making adjustments as you deem necessary, based upon the speciﬁc circumstances of your shooting conditions.

The aiming points were based on 300 fps/315gr/100gr, but practice at each prescribed aiming point with your particular set-up will determine what the aiming points correspond to for your individual shooting platform.

Bushnell has also incorporated its Rack Bracket Technology into this new reticle design so that the crossbow hunter may better ﬁeld judge the whitetail or mule deer they are chasing. On the main cross hair, there are two small hash marks-the distance between them represents 17 inches at 20 yards. The distance between the thick subtensions on the main crosshair represent 24 inches at 20 yards. At the 50-yard aiming point we have again included our Rack Bracket, with hash marks representing 17 inches, and the overall length representing 24 inches.

HOW THE RACK BRACKET WORKS

In an effort to help hunters, Bushnell looked at issues that had confronted many of them in the ﬁeld. Field judging deer, especially via magniﬁed view, can be exceedingly difﬁcult. To help with the ﬁeld judging of whitetails and mule deer we have incorporated a series of lines that extend out from each aiming point. Each lines measures 24 inches at the respective distance. There will also be two “hash marks” on each line that measure 17 inches between them. Why did we choose 24” and 17”? After extensive research it was determined that 24 inches represents the average width of a mule deer’s ears and 17 inches was the average width of a whitetail’s ears. Given proper time to judge an animal, a hunter can now get an estimate of rack width, and possibly even tine length. Rack Bracket estimations are for reference only and may not be exact. Make note that it is the sole responsibility of the hunter to make the ﬁnal determination on any animal they decide to harvest. Please refer to your local and/or state regulations regard-

ing antler width standards for harvested animals. It is the hunters responsibility to be knowledgeable of and abide by all game regulations.

The Rack Bracket System

Size him up and put him down with the Rack Bracket.

Based on scope set at highest power. For example, a 3-9x scope would need to be at 9x for Rack Bracket accuracy.

24" – All extended yardage

crosshairs measure 24," the tip-to-tip distance between an average mule deer’s ears.

Judgement – Use the 24" and

17" measurements to gauge

the buck’s width. If the ears ﬁt,

you have an accurate

estimation of range.

How To Use the Reticle:

1. Determine the distance to a whitetail or mule deer. For the most accurate distance measurement, use a Bushnell Laser Rangeﬁnder (for best results, a model with angle range compensation (ARC) is recommended – for example, the Scout 1000 ARC, G Force 1300 ARC, etc).

2. Turn the scope’s power ring to the appropriate position.

3. If the distance matches one of the prescribed aiming points you can utilize the Rack Bracket to gauge antler width.

Le réticule DOA donne aux chasseurs des séries de points de visée qui correspondent à diverses charges de poudre et percussions centrales. Bushnell souhaite souligner que

l’efﬁcacité de ces outils dépend du temps que vous aurez consacré à vous entraîner à leur utilisation. Rien ne vaut un entraînement de qualité au champ de tir et l’amélioration progressive du tir

à chaque distance prescrite, en notant la localisation des impacts. Il est impératif que le chasseur passe du temps au champ de tir, à se familiariser avec le réticule et le fonctionnement de celui-ci avec son arme chargée. La performance balistique peut varier en fonction de nombreux facteurs, notamment la longueur du canon, le type de poudre, le type de balle et nombres de variables liées au temps/à l’atmosphère.

LE RÉTICULE DOA 200 : pour les pièces à canon lisse (Slug Guns)

Les lunettes comportant le réticule DOA 200 sont conçues pour viser à 100 yards / mètres. Le réticule comporte un repère de visée supérieur pour les tirs à 50 yards / mètres et deux repères de visée inférieurs pour les tirs à 150 et à 200 yards / mètres. Le tireur peut utiliser des munitions de calibre 12 ou 20.

La lunette de visée doit aussi être réglée sur le grossissement approprié pour que la fonction balistique du réticule fonctionne correctement. Dans le cas d’une lunette de visée 3-9x 40 mm, la molette de changement de puissance doit être réglée sur 9x pour que la fonction balistique et le Rack Bracket fonctionnent correctement.
