Description

Trijicon AccuPoint 3-9x40mm SFP Riflescope – MIL Dot Crosshair Reticle

The Trijicon AccuPoint 3-9x40mm SFP Riflescope was designed for a quick target acquisition in any light conditions. It is illuminated through the use of fiber optics and tritium, providing a vivid aiming point without the need for batteries. Designed to stand up to the elements, the AccuPoint maintains the refinement needed for precise windage and elevation adjustments. The multi-layer, coated lenses provide superior light transmission, while the illuminated reticle aids in quick target engagement. The AccuPoint provides a quickfocus eyepiece and long eye relief.

Bindon Aiming Concept

Although human vision is based on a binocular or two eyed vision of an image, traditional riflescopes present a monocular view of the target. This monocular view significantly decreases vision capabilities and makes it difficult to acquire and track targets.

Traditionally, “both eyes open” aiming has been widely used with iron sights or reflex style sights, but use with a magnified scope was often deemed implausible. The Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) is a method of combining “both eyes open” aiming while using a magnified scope.

Shooting with “both eyes open” offers several advantages to the user: better situational awareness, a far superior sense of balance, a wider field of view, and far less eye strain. These advantages aid the shooter in quick target acquisition and improved shooting performance.

Utilizing BAC

When tracking a moving target with your shooting eye through a riflescope, the image appears blurry as the riflescope moves due to the magnification. This blurriness forces the brain to automatically switch eye focus and take in target data from the non-shooting eye (non-magnified). Due to the use of a highly illuminated aiming point in most Trijicon optics, the reticle remains visible in the shooting eye and your brain will superimpose the aiming point onto the non-magnified target.

When the weapon is moving onto the target, you will not notice any magnification, all that will be seen is the illuminated reticle. Once you slow the weapon onto the target, the target will “zoom” in, allowing you to identify and engage more accurately if necessary. This aiming concept happens naturally, without conscious thought, for those with equal or close to equal vision in both eyes.
