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°. Most shooters and archers will not need the LOS mode.
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.
Scan Feature
The Scan feature can be used to range moving targets or help
range smaller targets on uniform backgrounds, and works in both
ranging and target modes. Once powered up, press and hold the
Measure button and scan back and forth, watching for changes
in the yardage number as the aiming circle moves across target
objects. The illuminated “Scan” icon display indicates Scan
Ranging is activated.
Tripod Use for Ranging
Using a tripod to steady the Fury
®
HD 5000 will greatly increase
your ability to range small targets at longer distances. To use on a
tripod, you will need to use a binocular tripod adapter. The reticle
may appear tilted depending on tripod level.
