What value represents the lead built into the center reticle?

• A. 0 degree
• B. 5 degrees
• C. 10 degrees
• D. 15 degrees

Answer: (A)

Lead is the angular offset you would aim in front of a moving target to compensate for the time it takes the projectile to reach where the target is now. A center reticle with no built-in offset means there is no automatic forward lead encoded in the sight. So the value is zero degrees—the reticle’s center is the actual aiming point, with no added forward offset. In other words, you don’t have a built-in lead to rely on; any lead you apply comes from your judgment or from the missile’s guidance after launch, not from the reticle itself. Values like 5, 10, or 15 degrees would indicate an automatic forward offset, which this center reticle does not provide.
