One click changes the point of impact by 1/4 Minute of Angle, about 1/4 inch at 100 yards.
Hold the scope about 3 to 4 inches from your eye, point it at a flatly lit area, and rotate the fast focus eyepiece until the reticle is crisp.
The REL4165BS3 model has a side focus adjustment for parallax compensation.
Pull the adjustment dial away from the turret and rotate it until 0 aligns with the vertical index line.
