1.Q; I applied the reticle but now my scope is not clear when I look thru it' A: The clear carrier material must be removed to complete application. 2. Q: How do I remove the a reticle to replace it. A: Simply scratch it off with your finger nail. Your finger nail is soft enough not to scratch the lens. Then clean the lens well with the mfg's suggested cleaning solution. 3. Q: I cleaned the lens but the reticle will not stick. A: Do not use rubbing alcohol to clean with. The best is the mfg's suggested cleaning fluid. it will usually require 3 cleanings to remove all dirt and oils. Remember not to touch the adhesive during application. An emergency cleaning solution is denatured or grain alcohol. This should not have an adverse effect on the lens. However check with your mfg prior to using to be sure. 4. Q: I am still having problem getting the reticle to stick. A: On some new lenses the coating is extremely slick, for example Classic lenses. This is found more in very high end lenses. Apply the reticle rub firmly but do not remove the carrier. Allow the reticle to set for 15 minutes or more then try to remove the carrier. - In rare cases you may need to have the reticle set over night. - Remember to pull the carrier material back over itself not straight up. - Also remember to have both the lens and the reticle at 72 deg F for at least 1 hour prior to application. - Check to be sure that the adhesive side of the reticle is sticky. Sometimes a thin layer of mfg paper carrier is left on the back of the reticle, covering the adhesive. This can be removed by using a tooth pick to slide off the thin paper. This usually only happens on Black colored reticles. 5. Q: My dot is not centered, it was not centered on arrival or I moved it during application A: After application use a tooth pick to move the dot to the center of the reticle. Do not use metal such as a needle, as you may scratch the coating. 6. Q: I wany to use a fiber for a center dot with a circle. A: Use the dot to align the reticle with the fiber, then after reticle is aligned use a toothpick to remove the dot. 7. Q: I have an unusual scope configuration which make application difficult. Any tips A: You can use a soapy water solution to float the reticle. Use just a couple of drops in a glass of water, just enough that the water feels slippery when you rub your fingers together. Not a bunch of bubbles Then wet the lens and or the back of the reticle, you will then be able to slide the reticle into position, Drain any excess water and allow to set until dry. Rub and remove carrier, note: this may require up to 24 hours to dry, 8. Q: What color is best for what target. A: Vegas Face - Black or Lime Green Redding Shoot - Flo Yellow or Green, orange blends with the orange dot on the target. NFAA- Orange, yellow or green 3D- Orange, yellow or green 9. Q: Why use an eye blind? A: It is best to shoot with both eyes open, this provides for equal dilation of the pupils, providing for better vision. Also it removes tension from the face, it is the opinion of many top pros that avoiding any kind of unnessecary tension improves groups. Obviously if you do not have problems with double images with both eyes open the eye blind is not required. However a secondary use of the eye blind is to use it on the opposite side to help reduce distractions from the open eye side, such as shooter in the next lane, movement next to you etc. 10. Q: What colors are available for the aiming reticles. A: Orange, yellow, black, green are primary in order of popularity. Alos the speciality colors of blue, etched, and semi clear are available but maybe slightly more expensive and not available in all designs. 11. Q: I see many shooters have a bright ring on the back of their scope, what is this for? A: This helps center the peep with the scope housing. It is applied similar to the aiming reticles. They are easy to change or remove and are available for Classic, CR and Super Scope ( some models) other models maybe able to these same sizes. Classic and CR are available in a combo pack that fits all models made by that mfg. I cannot get my reticle to stick to the lens. This issues arises more often with later type of coatings on the lens. Even paint won't stick to some. Allow to set for at least 30 minutes after rubbing the reticle on the lens, then slowly peel the transfer material back over top of itself, even longer may be required. For reticles produced after June 2013, you can put a few drops of alcohol on top of the semi clear carrier material. Allow to sit for 2 minutes then lift off the carrier material. Be careful not to get alcohol on the reticle itself, this may cause adhesion problems.
