eQuiValenT hOrizOnTal range (
EHR
)
Shots at targets at a higher or lower position are subject
to changed ballistic conditions. Therefore, they require
knowledge of the equivalent horizontal range, which is
relevant for hunting. For example, knowledge of the
EHr
is
important when using ballistic reticles.
note:
Horizontal EHr measurements can also result in values that
differ from the „straight line“ measured range, for example
if the temperature and/or the atmospheric pressure vary
from the normal values.
hOldOVer (
HOLd
)
Holdover is defined as the point that you aim at with the
weapon instead of the actual target point to compensate
for the variation caused by the trajectory of the bullet (e.g.
when using classic hunting reticles).
By displaying the holdover, the Leica Rangemaster CRF
1600-B can provide valuable support in achieving the most
accurate shots possible when hunting.
In addition to the range, the calculation is based on the
general conditions discussed in the previous section and
the ballistic curve you have selected.
note:
The holdover/elevation is always shown with reference to
the range to the target.
Example: If
300m H30
is displayed, you would have to stop
30cm higher on the object than without correction.
