Using the INC

LOS/INC Drop Data Adjustment Technique Example

 

You have a shot at a ram on a ledge. In LOS mode, you range him 
at 600 yards with an INC reading of 93 (22 degree slope).  You 
know the bullet in your .300 WinMag cartridge will drop 10 MOA 
at 600 yards on level ground. To compensate for this angled shot, 
use the formula below or consult your Field Reference Card.

Example:

10 MOA x 93% (.93) = 9 1/4 MOA

To make this angled 600 yard shot, use a drop adjust of 9 1/4 MOA.

Scanning to get range:

Scan back and forth, watching for yardage to display.
