I think you have 4 sets of horizontal parallel lines at the bottom of the reticle. The space between equals 1 Meter high at 400, 600, 800 an 1000 meters (or 1 Yard at 400, 600, 800 1K yards) large to small, right to left.

A quick way of ranging a man sized target belt/waist to top of the head.

Hope that is what you are asking, and that it makes sense.

What he said EXCEPT that when measuring you measure crotch/groin to crown of head.

it is 400-600-800-1000 meters for 1 meter tall target as said. If target is 1/4 size- as head is 25cm or 0.25m tall- then it is previous ranges divided by four. 400=100 etc.
