offset you'd just hit
SET
to accept the zero default. However, if you've got a gun in the
safe that you have already zeroed two inches high at 100 you can use this feature to
back into a drop table that puts the bullet two inches high at 100. The offset option will
add about 20 seconds to the drop calculation. It is, however, quite a bit faster than
rezeroing your gun.
The next three questions (starting range ending range and increment) are self
explanatory. You'll probably find yourself hitting the
SET
key three times to accept each
default. The final question is whether or not you want the Ballistic Calculator to print to
the screen or paper. If you opt for a paper print out the MKIV XP will go on automatic
from here giving you a print out based on your parameters. If you want to print to the
screen you'll use the
SET
button to advance from screen to screen. To make another print
out just push TRAJ again. All of the parameters you used on the last print out will appear
as defaults (assuming you did not turn the machine off) speeding data entry.
