BAS displays the equivalent horizontal range, which is
based upon the ballistics group and sight-in distance
you will choose in a later mode. This is the range you will
want to use when shooting, rather than the line of sight
distance, which may contain gross errors depending upon
the shot angle. Readings will be displayed with equivalent
horizontal range in the lower portion of the display.
HOLD will display the appropriate amount of holdover to use,
which is based upon the ballistics group and sight-in distance
you will choose in a later mode. The upper display shows the
line of sight distance to the target. The lower display will
briefly show whether you should hold high or low, then the
appropriate number of inches or centimeters to hold over or
under. In the example to the right, the line of sight distance
is 484 yards, and the lower display indicates that you should
hold 51.4 inches above your intended point of impact. If the
RX-1000
i is set to range in meters, the appropriate holdover would be shown
in centimeters.
