TREMOR3 Wind Dot Calibration Procedure 

Well crap... I just found out there is a Tremor5..... Now what!!!???? Lol

The T3 is a 59 but I removed the marks below the secondary stadia lines and put in the wind dots. Faster and easier to use calling wind

Glad you enjoyed it!

We apologize for the delayed response. Due to new ownership, there was a delay in social media interaction. It sounds like you have quite the setup! You may check with Todd (Accuracy 1st) with this being a year ago if he has some specific based Tremor 3 classes. Have a good day.

Be happy to help. contact me at Todd@accuracy1st.com and I will be happy to answer any questions

I am new to this and I would like to know how do I come up with my BC for my rifle? I am using a Christensen MPR in 6.5 creedmoor.

@@hocakwowonk Your bc is going to depend on which bullet your shooting. It's not something you figure out, you just need to research it.

Alright then!

Alright you got it.Ha

You can find all the info on the TREMOR3 at www.horusvision.com/horus-reticles/tremor3 You can calibrate your wind dots automatically at www.horusvision.com/reticles/wind-dots or using the FREE Horus Ballistics App. And you can always ask us questions via Live Chat on our website if you still have questions!

It is the same for Tremor3. Just be careful when inputting your variables and you'll be all set!

"Better" is always a matter of opinion but many people find it much faster, particularly when needing to rapidly engage multiple targets at various ranges and speeds. Here is a video showing how to use with wind dots and time of flight for movers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d5Ry8DdcF1I.html

The easiest thing to do is just use the FREE Horus Ballistics App. All you have to do there is put in atmospherics and it automatically gives you the wind dot value!

Horus Reticles are widely used within PRS, as a matter of fact they are the Official Reticles of PRS

The 4th line and 2nd dot is just nice number at .95 mil to use, you could use others but for most setups the math works out well to start there so it's not a special line in any way, just an easy one to calibrate the wind dot value. Once you have that value every dot is the same value at any range as long as your equipment setup is the same.

Makes no difference, just find you chart. go to 4 mils and up the wind until you get .95 mils and follow his instructions, cheers

Joel Blackburn thanks man for the help 👍🏼. Ordered the scope 6 weeks ago. Arriving next week. Can’t wait!

Yes you can work in yards.

All values and ranges are in MIL RADIAN and METERS based off a 100m Zero Distance using preloaded gun data for common-caliber rifles. 1) Power on your Kestrel and double-check that all adjustments and ranges are in MIL/Meter values. 2) Go to the ENVIRONMENT tab in your Kestrel and turn off Spin Drift. a) Remember to turn Spin Drift back on after you calibrate your Wind Dots. 3) Go to the WIND tab in your Kestrel and input a full-value wind. (3:00 or 9:00 wind direction) 4) Go to the RANGE CARD tab in your Kestrel and find the range in which 4mils is your elevation hold. 5) Adjust your wind value until you have as close to a .95mil hold at 4mils elevation as possible. a) Note that the value may not always be exactly 4mils elevation and 0.95mils wind. For example: Using 175SMK .308 at my atmospheric conditions, I have 4.09mils at 520meters with 1mil of wind @ 8mph. 6) Once your wind value is determined, cut the value in half and that is your calibrated Wind Dot value. a) 8mph wind value / 2 = 4mph Wind Dot. The reason you cut your wind dot in half is because you are calibrating the second Wind Dot. There are two Wind Dots within .95mils. Hope that helps

Horus Vision yes! Perfect. I needed it in simple steps. Thank you!

@@KetemaHarris Happy to help!

We apologize for the delayed response. Due to new ownership, there was a delay in social media interaction. You are correct for simplicity. Have a good day!

We talk G1 and G7 just to have something everyone can understand and compare to in the setup they might be using. I always us CDM's as they are made for the bullet you are using. Not math made for a drag model that is not you bullet. But your correct. Just for comparison is the reason

The wind dot value there is 0.95 mils which is a nice "round" number and it's low enough in the grid to give you enough fidelity with the wind speed that gives you that value to be accurate.

The dot locations on the 1 mil line are not nice round numbers where the 2nd wind dot at 4 mils is a nice round number to use. The easy button now is just using the wind dot calculator in the FREE Horus Ballistics App.

@@HorusVision Bingo 👍

Yes, just use km/h. You can make up your own measurement if you want haha. If you have a kestrel it's really easy.

Yes

We use the reticle every week and have zero issues on any caliber. We have shot 50 cal to .22 and everything in between. Most problems are the actual wind call that makes us miss, not an error in the reticle. The reticle can not have an error because you calibrate it to your ballistics and DA. That what the TOF dot does

Also I personally shoot a 260 as it is one of my favorite calibers and have zero problems. We shoot in high winds all the time, so if there was an error it would be multiplied

Any ballistic solver will work with the TREMOR3 reticle but the easiest will be our FREE Horus Ballistics App. You can find all the details at www.horusvision.com/horus-ballistics-app/

@@HorusVision I just downloaded it thanks, saw it in another video. I think for a leupold #173298 the windage and elevation click value is 0.1 mil but idk the click value. Also for bore height it's that center of the scope to center of the chamber?

@@slruiz1986 if scope turrets at 0.1 mil per click that's what you put in the app. It doesn't impact the output so not required. And bore height should be center of the bore to center of the optic.

That is correct.

Exactly, I don't understand why so many manufacturers of long range rifles assume that the customer is using 100m or 100yd zeros. If one zeros at 100 then by the time one goes into the scopes highest magnification needed for a long shot it's out of viewing angle. One cannot merely use a click adjustment because then Z is no longer at 100yds (or otherwise near the peak of trajectory) and wind dots become miscalibrated [useless]. I zero my .308 (175gr) way out to 751m 😳. This keeps my near max target range (1km) within 6 mils @32×. The downside is I have to zoom out for more than a 2mil wind adjustment, OR click it up to zero for up to 6 mils wind adj. Click adjustments isn't ideal because click adjustments don't do very well returning to the exact same place. For near side that means 351m to 751m is viewable at 32× & w/o any click adjustment I can zoom out slightly for the additional 2.15 mils needed to bring the trajectory peak 82m into view. Which is fine, one doesn't need a massive 32× at such a short distance nor will there be huge wind adjustment either. All that said, I don't take deer below 1k ft.lbs, past 551m, or 3.43 mils above my scopes zero; which is 4.72mils below the trajectory peak. So if a person is only using their rifle for hunting a Z=100yd is acceptable (note: bigger game require even more energy to dispatch ethically thus a shorter range is required anyway). To go the otherway, I'm using a .17cal to take rabbits and similarly sized where the the combination of heavy wind influence, quick drop in energy, and accuracy of the rifle/ammunition isn't effective beyond 150-175m or just a couple mils from peak 56m. In summary, the Tremor3 reticle 100yd zero is probably fine for MOST hunters who don't engage Precision BenchRest (PBR) marksmanship. Would I use that zero in the military, NO; PBR, NO; (if I did) coyote hunting, NO (I'd also use a different round)! That said, I'm not spending $2k-$3k or more on a scope for my deer rifle. I do enjoy my scope with the Tremor3, but I don't use these wind adjustments. I do wish my scope had more mil illumination in the upper half of the reticle; where I would use it. Update: I discovered my Scopes ability to adjust the stop point to get the last mil adjustments. This does give me the ability to Z@100yd (now at 81 clicks w/ .1 mil clicks). Still the problem persists that if I Z@100yds, then I can't use wind dots past ~600m 🤬 seriously who calibrated the design for 100yds on a MIL-dot scope with 0.1 mil adjustments? You're driving a mortarman crazy. Stick with metric or Imperial measurements, metric preferred.

The beauty about the T3 reticle is that it can be used on any cartridge as long as the wind dots have been calibrated correctly. Let us know how you like it once you've had a chance to use it!

@@HorusVision I think in reality each dot is closer to 4 mph cross wind with my gun and load. although usually I just shoot a target at 100 yards (a 2 mil hold with a 50 yard zero for 22lr) to figure out which dot to use then stretch out from there. I've successfully used it to get first round hits at 200 (about 6 mil) and 300 (13 mil, have to hold in space since the wind dots stop at 10 mil but I just imagine line continuing out to there) yards in 15 -20 mph wind pretty frequently which is kinda crazy for a 22. I'm now a firm believer in it and it definitely helps out.

@@aharkey1077 You can check out of new FREE app too, it has an automatic wind dot calibration tool!

Just because it is a wind dot with a nice round number, the others are long strings of decimals. It's much easier to use the automatic calibration tool in the FREE Horus Ballistics App or on our website at www.horusvision.com/reticles/wind-dots

This was the way we use to calibrate in the past. The reason of the 4 mil line was resolution per mph. Now we just use the horus app or the kestrel with the Accuracy1st page which does the calibrating for you. Much easy now than when we made this.

Thank you, yes, i have Leupold mark5HD with H59 reticle. whoever i can’t understand and use those many options.. but this reticle is absolutely best of best reticle i ever seen..

Hello, There is a learning curve when it comes to operating a Horus reticle. Once you begin to understand the functions of our reticles they are quite user-friendly. If you would like to give us a call we can assist you in learning the functions of the Tremor3 reticle. (866) 568-2926. Have a good day.

Get applied ballistics app. Enter your rifles data and put in 29.92 station pressure and 59° Scroll through yardage until your elevation is equal to 4.0 mils now add 1 mph of wind at a time until your wind call is at .95 mils. Whatever said wind speed is equal to .95 mils, take it and divide by 2 and you have the value of your wind dots at most any distance WITHOUT SPIN DRIFT ENABLED

@@pumpsprecision3520 THANK YOU. I think Mr. Hodnett forgot how far above us he is here. Now that I have what you said, what he said makes much more sense. Again, thank you!

@@wilfdarr no problem brother. I work for AB and have to simplify things down for our courses pretty regular. A few repetitions in the field with this and it will be like riding a bike!

@@pumpsprecision3520 Since you work for AB, maybe you could email Horus and get your 'for dummies' version applied (😉) to the description?

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We are working hard on this and hope to have something very soon that will start to cover items like you have mentioned. The hard part has been putting quality information in a format that makes sense to everyone. Again, thank you for your time!

Spot on. I'm in the market for a new scope, and I am a new shooter and trying to learn more about this reticle for my first long range rifle. I'm reading everything I can and studying my options, but a simple 'from the ground up' video on how to use this would greatly influence my reticle decision.

Just think of it as a huge 2 dimensional ruler in your scope. Reduces the need to dial for long range shots and allows for easy corrections. It's seems wierd on paper. After you shoot it it will make so much more sense.

@rascalMatt17 the ACSS is a ballistic reticle that is only good for certain rounds travelling a certain speed out to a certain distance, it's basically a "best guess". It's great for the regular shooter, not precision shooting. If you can understand how "old school" sniping works with dialing for elevation and wind, the hourus reticle just simplifies that, and can work for ANY caliber.
