The numbers on the GTL Designator are the range to the target behind the reticle. You can use this to communicate range to a target or area of interest. You can Left Click to toggle the LASER on or off. You use it to designate a target so you can call in CAS.

Full details on all the toys in PR can be found in the manual - if you find something severely lacking in info, I'm sure feedback is welcome:

Unless the numbers have some kind of magic that lm not aware they dont mean much.
The only time I use the number is to perfectly align a Simonov or a bolt action rifle at the distance by placing the bar with a 3 if not mistaken on top of the enemy

Thank you very much but I was asking about normal binoculars that unconventional forces use.The meaning of reticles on that binos are pretty much a mistery for me.How can i fand range with those reticles thats just one of the questions?

Binoculars are not range finders.

At the moment this is not working. In theory the binos could be made functional, but no one is working on this right now.

Probably mats said the distance markers on the current reticle of field binocs do not work because they are not made with precise working calculations
