The RECCE Pro comes with a pouch which may
be attached to articles of gear or clothing using
MOLLE/PALS straps. Between viewing sessions,
safely store your monocular in the case. Note:
If the optics are exposed to moisture, keep the
caps off and allow it to dry out completely be-
fore putting it in the case for storage.
The Utility Clip
The versatile utility clip allows quick attachment to
MOLLE/PALS webbing, a pocket edge or other equip-
ment.

Adjust the Reticle Focus
1) Look through the monocular at a blank white
wall or at the sky.
2) Slowly turn the reticle focus wheel until
the reticle image is as crisp as possible. When
focusing, look at the reticle with short, inter-
rupted glances rather than an extended stare.
Once this is done it will not be neccessary to
re-focus the reticle with every use. However,
your eyesight may change over time, you
should adjust the focus periodically.
Adjusting the Eyecup
The heavy duty flared rubber eyecup folds up and down
for optimal viewing with or without eyeglasses.
• Flared eyecup blocks stray light when fully extended.
• Eyecup folds down for viewing with eyeglasses.

The ranging reticle is based on a form of angular
measurement called the milliradian (mrad for short). These
angular measurements allow a user to calculate ranges
when comparing the reticle to objects of known dimension.
The key to effective ranging using this reticle is knowing
common objects in your vicinity and their measurements.

28cm / 11”
50cm / 20”
35cm / 14”

dimensions are
accurate at the listed
ranges.
The ranging reticle uses a
system that is based on a
silhouette for quick ranging.

Ranging with mrads
Mrad measurements are very effective for ranging using
simple formulas. Knowing the size of the target or a
nearby object is essential to using these formulas.
Using either the vertical or horizontal mrad scale,
place the reticle on the target of known dimension
and read the number of mrads spanned. Obtain
maximum accuracy in ranging by calculating exact mrad
measurements—try to estimate mrad measurement in
1/10s if possible.
Range (Yards)=
Target Size (Yards) x 1000
Measured mrads
Range (Yards)=
Target Size (Inches) x 27.8
Measured mrads
Range (Meters)=
Target Size (Meters) x 1000
Measured mrads
Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold.
Be sure to solidly brace when measuring. Once you have
an accurate mrad reading, use one of the formulas to
calculate the distance.
Ranging a 6-foot target (2 yards) at 4 mrads yields 500 yards.

Caring for the Lenses
Maintain the optical brilliance of this monocular by
keeping the lens surfaces free of dirt, dust, and oils.
Protect Lenses While Out in the Field
Store the monocular in its custom carry case.
Keep Lenses Clean
Along with normal use comes the need to clean the
monocular lenses. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping.
Use a can of pressurized air or soft camel hair brush
(acrylic optical brushes also work well).
2. Clear lens of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil.
Fog the lenses with your own breath and wipe with the
non-abrasive lens cloth included with the monocular.
Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used.
However, you should never use facial tissue, heavy
cotton, or flannel clothing on lenses—these materials
can scratch the lens surfaces.
