Reticle Types Explained

The ShotKam's patented reticle (crosshair or red dot) is customizable, so you can move it, select the style you want, or turn it off completely. This is a personal preference, so there is no wrong choice. Some like the crosshair option because it is easier to identify gun canting, then some like the red dot option because it mirrors the bead of the gun:

ShotKam App ➡ Shooting Settings ➡ Reticle

Red Dot: Most popular choice as many like how it represents the bead of the gun barrel.

Black Crosshair: Most popular choice for clay shooting against grass or sky backgrounds.

Red Crosshair: Recommended for those who are working to fix a canter mount.
