Stop guessing your holdovers at close range. We explain exactly how the Bullet Rise Compensating (BRC) reticle works to conquer height over bore inside 50 yards. In this technical deep dive, we head to the whiteboard to explain the physics behind the Swampfox Raider's unique BRC reticle. Most shooters understand Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) for long range, but few understand Bullet Rise Compensation for CQB distances. We break down the concept of "Height Over Bore" (mechanical offset) and why your point of impact is low at 5, 10, and 15 yards. Most importantly, we answer the most common question: "Will this reticle work on my specific build?" We head to the range to prove that the BRC holds are effective on almost any AR platform, demonstrating hits with both a standard 16" 5.56 rifle and a suppressed 10.5" .300 Blackout.
