The VMR-1 reticle manual summarizes the features and use of the Vortex VMR-1 reticle:
- The VMR-1 reticle is designed to aid long-distance shooting through determining ranges, holdovers, windage corrections, and moving target leads.
- It uses MOA (minute of angle) subtensions to estimate range and bullet trajectory, where 1 MOA corresponds to 1.05 inches at 100 yards, 2.1 inches at 200 yards, and so on.
- As a second focal plane reticle, its subtensions are accurate at the highest magnification setting for most models, and at 18x for 6-24x50 models.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Reticle
VMR-1 MOA Reticle
You have purchased a Vortex®riflescope equipped with the VMR-1TM
reticle. Designed to maximize long distance shooting and ranging abilities,
the VMR-1 MOA reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges,
holdovers, windage corrections and moving target leads.

MOA Subtensions
VMR-1 Subtensions
Subtensions measured in MOA. Reticle image shown for representation only.
The VMR-1 reticle is based on minute-of-angle (MOA) subtensions.
MOA measurements are based on degrees and minutes: 360 degrees
in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree for a total of 21,600 minutes. These
angular measurements are used to estimate range and correct for bullet
trajectory drop in riflescopes. 1 MOA will correspond to 1.05 inches at a
100 yard distance, 2.1 inches at 200 yards, 3.15 inches at 300 yards, and
so on.
Second Focal Plane Reticles
Second focal plane (SFP) reticles are located near the scope’s eyepiece
behind the image erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle
does not visually change in size when you change the magnification.
The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same
ideally-sized appearance. When shooting with this SFP scope, be aware
that the listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover,
and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification
for all models except the 6-24x50. For 6-24x50 models, the reticle
subtensions are accurate at 18x.

Example
MOA measurements are very effective for ranging using a simple formula.
To use this formula, the shooter needs to know the size of the target, or
nearby object, in inches.
Using either the vertical or horizontal MOA scale, place the reticle on
a target of known dimensions and read the number of MOAs spanned.
You will obtain maximum accuracy in ranging by calculating exact MOA
measurements. MOAs should be estimated in 1/2s if possible.
Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold. The rifle should be
solidly braced using a rest, bipod or sling when measuring. Once you have
an accurate MOA reading, use the formula to calculate the distance.

Elevation Holdovers
Once the distance has been calculated using the VMR-1 or a laser
rangefinder, the VMR-1 can be used for rapid holdover correction
of the bullet drop. To get the most benefit out of the riflescope
equipped with the VMR-1 reticle, Vortex Optics highly recommends
shooters learn their bullet drop numbers and windage/lead
corrections in MOAs rather than inches or mrads. Remember that
1 MOA will correspond to 1.05 inches at a 100 yard distance, 2.1
inches at 200 yards, 3.15 inches at 300 yards, and so on.
Since this VMR-1 reticle is marked in MOA, it is an easy job to
quickly select the correct drop reference line once the shooter
knows the bullet drops and windage/lead corrections in MOAs. If
the shooter prefers to dial the come ups for bullet drop using the
elevation knob, knowing bullet drops in MOAs will allow for much
faster adjustments because the MOAs can be quickly read on the
elevation knob.

Windage and Moving Targets
The VMR-1 reticle is highly effective when used for wind and moving
target leads. Using the reticle for effective windage and moving leads will
require a thorough knowledge of your cartridge’s ballistic performance
under varying conditions and experience in reading wind strengths
and target speeds. As in bullet drops, it is imperative the shooter learn
their particular weapon’s windage/moving target corrections in MOAs
rather than inches or mrads. Always hold the reticle into the wind when
correcting for wind drift.
When dialing elevation come ups, the center horizontal crosshair will be
used for windage or moving target leads. MOA marks on the horizontal
and vertical crosshairs are graduated in 2 MOA increments.
Basic windage correction on center crosshair
10 MOA reticle correction for 20 mph wind at 700 yards. Elevation is

VMR-1
When estimating moving target leads, the MOA marks on the center
horizontal crosshair can be used. Estimating moving leads will require
knowing yardage distance, wind speed, moving target speed and total
bullet flight times including rifle lock time. Bullet flight times can be
roughly calculated based on fps velocities or a ballistic calculator.
Basic moving lead correction
Note: Correctly estimating moving leads is very difficult and requires
considerable practice and knowledge beyond the scope of this manual.
9.5 MOA reticle correction for a target moving 3 mph at a distance of
800 yards. No wind. Total bullet time of flight from moment of trigger
pull is 1.5 seconds during which a target travels 6.6 feet. Elevation already
