LOS Mode
The LOS (Line of Sight) mode is intended for rifle shooters
who are using slope correcting ballistic drop data cards,
ballistic cell phone applications, or other devices with
ballistic programs and who are shooting at distances beyond
500 yards and with slopes greater than 15 degrees.
The range number displayed in LOS mode is the actual
line of sight range with no ballistic correction for slope.
Most of the commonly used ballistic devices can provide
independent slope correction for bullet drop data and
require actual line of sight range input. Using the LOS
range when calculating bullet wind drifts under these steep
slope/long range conditions will provide a higher degree of
accuracy than using the HCD range.
To use, simply input the LOS range number into the
electronic device or use the LOS range when referencing
ballistic drop cards with slope correction.
LOS Mode - Incline
When in LOS mode, an additional number is displayed
above the yardage number. This number is slope incline
shown in degrees.
The slope incline number can be entered into ballistic
programs or field cards to help calculate precise bullet drops
in mountainous terrain.
