HOW TO INPUT YOUR BALLISTIC PROFILE(S) 

1.  From the ZHA Dashboard, go into the 

“Ballistics”

 menu. Locate  

  the blue-colored 

button at the lower right-hand corner of the window, 

 

  and press it. 

(Fig. 12)

 

2.  Input the riflescope data, whether it is a ZEISS product or another brand. 

 

  Use the drop-down menu to select your ZEISS riflescope model, or slide 

 

  the ZEISS Riflescope button to the “off” position if you are not using a 

 

  ZEISS riflescope. 

 

3.  Next, input the scope height above bore. This is a simple measurement,  
  and it is obtained by taking the measurement from the center of the  

  barrel’s bore to the center of the riflescope’s main tube. (This helps to 

 

  ensure the utmost in accuracy of provided ballistic solutions.) 

4.  The default distance for the riflescope’s sight-in zero is 100 yards. 

 

  ZEISS recommends this setting; however, you may select and input 

 

  another zero distance for your needs. 

5.  Next, choose the value setting of your riflescope’s click adjustment values 

 

  (example: 1/4 MOA or 0.1 MIL).

6.  Next, input the appropriate data for your ammunition. You can select  
  factory loads (over 7,000 options) or input your custom handload data.  
  The input data here is rather important. Ammunition brand, caliber, bullet  
  weight and muzzle velocity data are needed for input.  

 

NOTE:

 ZEISS strongly suggests the validation of muzzle velocity via a quality 

chronograph. (Muzzle velocity listed on some ammunition is for a specific 

barrel length within a controlled environment and does not factor in the 
many variables that are associated with obtaining true muzzle velocity 

through your rifle.)

 

3.   Once the ZEISS Hunting App is downloaded, you will need to pair the  

mobile device to the ZEISS Victory RF model. 
 
a. Ensure your mobile device’s battery is charged or the device is  
  plugged in to the power outlet. Now ensure your Bluetooth setting is  
  switched to the 

“on”

 position. 

 
b. Next, launch the ZEISS Hunting App (ZHA). Then go to the Dashboard  
  menu and select the 

“Connected Products”

 tab 

(Fig. 10)

.

 

 
c. Press the 

“Connect”

 button on the device, and then press the  

 

“SET”

 button on the VRF. Continue pressing the 

“SET”

 button  

  while looking through the right-side barrel of the VRF until you see 

 

  the letters 

“con”

 for connect. (If you are having trouble reading  

  the letters clearly, please revert back to 

page 10

 in order to  

  set your diopter settings for a clean and crisp image.) 
 
d. Once 

“con”

 has appeared in the view, press the 

“RANGE”

 button  

  (indicated as an arrow on the VRF models) on the VRF, and this will  
  pair the VRF to the ZHA. 

(Fig. 11) 

 
e. Once the pairing is completed, you may input up to nine customized  

  ballistic profiles. (The ZHA is not needed to use the VRF in the field.) 

 

  This ensures precise and on-target accuracy for multiple rifles and 

 

  ammunition loads in the field.
