Arken NOW DNT Zulus First Testing Mini Review....

[MartinT]

I don't understand brawlers1588 reply fully, but what happens is when you press the range button once, it will keep ranging (and continuously show you the various distances you aim at) until you press the button again. Then it "locks"that distance and uses it to position the reticle or the holdovermark

Best advice for this unit is try long presses and multi presses and see what you get. There's no real manual of use to speak of yet. Eventually the programming starts to reveal itself and make sense. There's a learning curve but don't give up.

Yes manual needs works but my biggest tip is SHORT press of power while in zeroing menu freezes the screen.

Great advice, i had to stumble on this and it was my 2nd sticking point. The other is the lrf has its own reticle off to the side and ranging is not the center of the crosshairs. Makes sense since the lrf is offset on the unit anyhow. Third was how I got this thread. Load your ballistics table and use table reference to not carry your phone and bluetooth connect every time you want to lrf.

Yes good point not everyone knows there are 2 ways to use the ballistics one loaded and one connected via Bluetooth. The other is the 2 options for the reticle holdover and dial in. Hold over gives you the hash to aim at while dial in completely moves the reticle to new aim position. I touched base on all this but I may need to do an updated user guide. As well as some don't know that the IR is adjustable for spot and flood, or the right arrow short press is screen brightness, long press turns on and off wifi, shirt press of menu changes reticle color, left long press is your day night mode, while short press in night mode is your ir brightness.

Does it calculate the wind drift too?

If you keep it linked to the app for real time ballistics I believe you can have windage data.

 

[bowopt]

That's the thing. It connects to the mobile phone. I don't think it has the capability to attain the wind direction and speed in real time.

For the ballistic data it's through the Bluetooth so you should still be able to have internet to gather your wind data input it in the app and it should add it in the real time ballistic data. I will try and get some information to make sure though.

Wind conditions at muzzle can be much different than 50 yards out, let alone 100 yards out.
In extreme cases, they could be 180 degrees different.
I dont believe there is any device on earth, that would accurately take into account such complex wind fluctuations.....not even in airplanes!

 

[bowopt]

Well, I think it's still an interesting scope. Does anyone know how to buy the 3-12x in The States?

I just ordered a 5-20, from across the pond.
The reason is, no vendor in the United States offers the 35 MOA, or 20 MOA mount.

Yes they are working in getting them in the US, where we're you able to get a scope sent from and into the US?

Still no eta the pre orders were just announced for the UK and we are a few months behind in the US due to import and rules and regulations.

 

[Dairyboy]

I'm curious too. Thought no scopes from outside the US. Had to be imported by dealer here and then sold.

If we import the scope from UK to the US, what's the tax rate?

 

[Airgun Al]

Ordered...but not received.
Fingers crossed.

The 3-12x? May I know from where you ordered? Do you have it delivered to the US? and how much?

I choose the 5-25, not the 3-12.
Simply do a search for UK sellers, that sell the Zulus.
There are plenty, and most of them show inventory levels, including the new 3-12.

Right but which did you choose that was willing to ship to the US. I have asked a few and all said they couldn't.
