Ballistics can be a complicated business at the best of times, which is why Hawke have developed easy-to-use and deadly accurate reticles with the added support of the patented Ballistic Reticle Calculator (BRC).

Hawke Ballistic Reticles Calculator (BRC) is a free software program designed to complement 18 different Hawke Reticles. - the Hawke Specialised Reticles (SR6 and SR12 and the new SR Pro), Hawke MultipleAim Point reticles (MAP6 and MAP8), Crossbow reticles (Crossbow MAP, Crossbow SR, XB30, XB1 and XB1ir), Deer PASS SR and MAP and the 10x and 20x 1/2 Mil-Dot reticles.

The BRC is quick to download and navigate around. The calculations produce accurate results in the BRC program, that translate into accuracy and precision in the field.

System Requirements
Operating System: Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista. BRC may also run on Windows 95 systems if suitably updated. Older systems may require the Visual Basic Runtime.
