Using the HCD Mode
Use the HCD range mode in the following situations:
• Rifle shooting on level ground at any range.
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 800 yards with mild slopes
(less than 15 degrees).
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards with moderate
slopes (15 to 30 degrees).
• For all archery shooting.
NOTE: See page 13 for method of reading slope degree in
LOS mode.
The displayed HCD yardage number
is corrected for shot angle and needs
no extra user input; shooters simply
use the appropriate level ground
bullet drop and wind adjustment
for the range displayed and shoot.
Archers use the appropriate level
ground sight pin for the range
displayed and shoot.
