Active – Setting a target to active makes it selectable
in the main target screen.(Not available in Sportsman
models)
TR – Target Range is the distance from the muzzle of the
rie to the target.
DoF – Direction of re is the direction from the position
of the shooter to the target.
Ideg – Inclination is the angle above or below horizontal
from the position of the shooter to the target.
Icos – Inclination Cosine is the cosine of the angle above
or below horizontal from the position of the shooter to
the target.
TS – Target Speed is the speed of the target
perpendicular to the direction of re.
TD – Target Direction is the direction of travel of the
target perpendicular to the direction of re.
WD – Wind Direction is the direction the wind is coming
from in relation to the direction of re.
WS1 – Wind Speed 1 is a ve second rolling average
wind speed.
WS2 – Wind Speed 2 is a ve second rolling maximum
wind speed.
MV – Muzzle Velocity is the speed of the bullet as it leaves
the muzzle. MV can be measured with a chronograph or
calculated using the MV Cal function. An MV estimate is
often provided by cartridge manufacturers or in reloading
manuals.
DM – A Drag Model is the known aerodynamic drag prole
of a standard projectile against which an actual bullet is
referenced. Ballistics coecients based on G1 drag models
are more widely available, ballistic coecients based on
G7 drag models are more representative of a typical hollow
tip, boat tail bullet. (Applied Ballistics Custom Drag Models
– Using one of the Applied Ballistics custom drag models
replaces the use of a standard projectile drag model and it’s
associated BC. When a custom drag model is used, the BC
value appears as a 1. Applied Ballistics custom drag models
can only be used in Elite units.)
BC – A Ballistic Coecient is a ratio that represents the ability
of the bullet to overcome air resistance and maintain velocity
while in ight in comparison to a standard projectile. Be sure
to match the G1/G7 drag model setting to the BC value you
are using. G1 BCs can not be used with G7 drag models and
vice-versa.
BW – Bullet Weight is the weight of the bullet measured in
grains or grams.
BD – Bullet Diameter is the diameter of the bullet measured
in inches or millimeters. (Note! Ensure bullet diameter is
correct. The given name of a bullet’s caliber does not always
match its actual diameter, for example 300WM is actually
.308”, not .300”)
