Thread: What target design and why ?

@6x47 I understand from your answer that you typically use SFP scopes on reasonably high power, so at 100 yds the RELATIVE thickness of the reticle to the diamonds you pictured would be thin, like the drawing below, so I'm guessing you are using the diamond as an aiming point primarily by using the corners of the diamond and aligning the crosshairs to these, and any difference in size of the four resulting triangles - being difficult to detect with that sizing - is secondary ?
In the drawing the crosshairs are visibly just off to one side of the corners, but the resulting asymmetry in the sizing of the triangles is much more difficult to detect.



It is of course possible to make the crosshairs thick RELATIVE to the diamond size - whether the scope is FFP or SFP, and for any power setting , or distance - by printing much smaller diamonds, appropriately scaled. The end result is more as pictured in the earlier post. In that case there would be difficulty aligning the crosshairs to the corners of the diamonds due to the obscuration issue mentioned by VC in relation to the use of dots that are small - again in relative terms to the thickness of the reticle. The corners can only be seen by moving off the point of aim and a spread of crosshair placement is possible while the corners remain hidden. In that case the visual difference in the size of the triangles becomes the primary way of determining if the crosshairs are offset.

Sorry my question in the earlier post was not clear.
