The binocular has the variable Sight-in option of 100, 150, 200, and 300 yards in RiFle mode.

The first one uses to take all the reading of distance to consider and try to make a fast decision to adjust the view.

The Bulls Eye option gives the easy acquisition of small target and game without focusing background objects that have a more strong signal. This option is best for practice shootings. When there is more than one object need to focus, the closer objects will appear bright.
