Took delivery of my fourth Zulus about an hour ago. Exactly the same as the previous three so popped it on the HW100KT in the exact same place as before. Bit limited as to how far back in the garden I can position a target so had to rearrange the lounge furniture so I could position my shooting bench far enough back to give 15m all the way through lounge, kitchen and out through patio doors to 'far' end of the garden. One shot at the target, second to make sure first wasn't an erratic, switched brain back from Thermnight mode to Zulus mode, freeze-framed, moved reticule, saved and third shot right through the bull. Does it get any simpler than that? I almost feel like I know what I'm doing. I love Zulus.

For such a technical bit of kit, the manual, ESPECIALLY the photos are pants,
and as for the APP, I think any kind of manual is non existent.

Welcome to my channel. I'm a keen, responsible shooter mainly using airguns: for fun / target shooting plus both amateur and professional pest control. I'm self-employed, disabled after breaking my neck (Dec 2002) so permanently on crutches, giving me a unique perspective on things most folk...

I have two Arken/DNT 5-20 lrfs I may get another! Trouble is they are set up perfectly now but Its been months since i set up them up. I will have to consult the rubbish manual again for a refresh to do the set up!
You won't, it will all come flooding back to you.

I recently set-up the (loaner) Zulus ZHD520R V2, and my treat-to-me ThermNight TNC335R (about to go on my new/replacement .22" FAC rifle for pest control)...
On my AirMaks Krait I literally just zeroed each @30m which was pretty intuitive / guided on-screen, then in the scope menu went down to Ballistics, switched it to on, then completed all the info it requested in-scope / on screen (you don't have to use the App). It's a doddle to do.
This happy-snap through the display was the Zulus V2 on my .177" FAC FC Maverick compact...
A few pointers...
- Measure muzzle velocity yourself so it's accurate.
- For the ThermNights measure from centre of upper objective lens to bore.
- Get your ballistic coefficient (BC) from your pellet tin, t'interweb -or my post on here.
- Use G1 for airgun pellets.
- You can ignore temp and altitude for airgun ranges.
