1.Locate a 12” portion of a target.
2.Find the bracket on the lower vertical stadia that best fits the target. You will notice 5 brackets are available with a ranging capability of over 600 yards when using Ballistic Coefficients of .4 (see diagram to the right).
3.Send your shot.
This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems, but not all will impact exactly the same. However, this system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or muzzle velocity (BC’s), you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt the formula for your needs.
