Legend® 1200 ARC™ 204100 & 204101

In ranging distance and ballistic capability, no unit on the market packs this much power in such a handy, easy-touse package. Engineered with a compact, vertical conﬁguration, the Legend® 1200 ARC™ delivers instant distance readings to 1,200 yards, while calculating a true “shoots-like” distance based on terrain angle using Angle Range Compensation technology. In Riﬂe Mode, it tells you where to hold and VSI™ (Variable Sight-In) allows the riﬂe hunter to choose between four sight-in distances and provides holdover / bullet-drop data in inches, centimeters or MOA. Bow Mode eliminates guesswork with true horizontal distance from 5-99 yards. And weather is never an issue thanks to fully waterproof construction and Rainguard® HD anti-fog lens coating technology.

is booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this device. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using you’re Legend 1200 ARC laser rangeﬁnder.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

e Legend® 1200 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. e Legend 1200 ARC‘s Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Speciﬁc Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangeﬁnder, to the target, and back.

RANGING ACCURACY

e ranging accuracy of the Legend 1200 ARC is plus or minus one yard/meter under most circumstances. e maximum range of the instrument depends on the reﬂectivity of the target. e maximum distance for most objects is 850 yards/777 meters while for highly reﬂective objects the maximum is 1200 yards/1097 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reﬂective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured.

e color, surface ﬁnish, size and shape of the target all aﬀect reﬂectivity and range. e brighter the color, the longer the range. White is highly reﬂective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reﬂective color. A shiny ﬁnish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more diﬃcult to range than a larger target. e angle to the target also has an eﬀect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the ﬂight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will aﬀect the ranging capabilities of the unit. e less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

GETTING STARTED

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Remove the battery cap by lifting the battery door tab and then rotating counter clockwise. Insert a CR-2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment positive end ﬁrst, then replace the battery cap.

NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE

Your Legend® 1200 ARC™ is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the LCD display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye.

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY While looking through the 6x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the ﬁeld of view) upon a target at least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. e crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magniﬁed lenses. e maximum time the laser is transmitted (ﬁred) is 10 seconds. To re-ﬁre, press the button down again.

ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION

e Legend® 1200 ARC™ is an advanced premium laser rangeﬁnder featuring a built-in accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -90 to +90 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate.

e Bushnell® Legend 1200 ARC solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. e problem: Bow and riﬂe hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. e Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer provides elevation angle to allow for distance compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. is data is then combined with internal algorithmic ballistic formulas.

ARC (ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION) MODES

Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true horizontal distance from 5-99 yards/ meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 90°.

Riﬂe Mode ( ): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches, centimeters or MOA. e amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of elevation, along with the speciﬁc ballistic characteristics of the caliber and ammunition load. When you range your target, the line of sight, degree of elevation, and bullet-drop/holdover in inches, centimeters, or MOA will be displayed from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 90°. One of eight ballistic groups (identiﬁed as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center ﬁre riﬂes and two ballistic groups (Identiﬁed as I and J) for Black Powder/Muzzleloaders can be selected by the user, with each formula representing a given combination of caliber and loads. e ballistic groups are selected by the user in the SET-UP menu.

Regular Mode ( ): is mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight distance only.

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

Battery Indicator:

Full charge 2/3 battery life remaining 1/3 battery Life remaining Battery Indicator Blinks - Battery needs to be replaced and unit will not be operable.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS e Legend® 1200 ARC™ can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. e unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD.

ACTIVE LASER

Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. e crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES

e Legend 1200 ARC was especially designed with hunters in mind. e selective targeting modes allow you to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your speciﬁc situation and environment. To move from one mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release. e diﬀerent targeting modes available and mode indicators are listed below:

Standard with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) is setting allows most targets to be distanced up to 1200 yards. Used for moderately reﬂective targets that are typical of most distancing situations. e minimum distance in

the standard mode is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply hold down on the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds and move the rangeﬁnder from object to object while leaving the POWER button depressed. Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple objects are targeted.

BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) is advanced mode allows easy acquisition of small targets and game without inadvertently getting distances to background targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object has been acquired, distance of the closer object will be displayed and a crosshair will surround the BullsEye™ indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object is being displayed in the LCD. Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object is being displayed in the LCD (Figure 1). ere may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, crosshairs will not surround the BullsEye indicator.

Figure 1

TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser.

Brush™ (LCD Indicator - ) is advanced mode allows objects such as brush and tree branches to be ignored so that distance only to background objects are displayed. When more than one object has been acquired, distance of the further object will be displayed and a circle will surround the Brush™ indicator informing the user that distance of the farthest object is being displayed in the LCD.

Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the object that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the object until a circle surrounds the Brush indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. close-up tree branch and a deer in the background), distance of the further object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and a circle will surround the brush indicator informing the user that distance to the farther object is being displayed in the LCD (Figure 2). ere may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, the circle will not surround the Brush indicator

Figure 2

Once the device has shut oﬀ, the unit will always default back to the last targeting mode used.

MENU SETUP – SELECTION OF BOW, RIFLE, REGULAR MODES, UNIT OF MEASURE, SIGHT-IN DISTANCE, AND BALLISTIC CORRECTION

ere are two ARC (Angle Range Compensation) modes and one REGULAR mode. e two ARC modes are BOW mode and RIFLE mode.

To select between these modes, ﬁrst turn the unit “ON” by pressing and releasing the POWER button. Next, press and hold the MODE button for ﬁve seconds. e “SETUP” display icon will light and the current compensation mode will be identiﬁed by either the “BOW” symbol ( ), the “RIFLE symbol ( ) lit with one of the ballistic groups (A thru J) displayed and ﬂashing, or no indicators lit and the message ( ) ﬂashing in the bottom of the LCD.

e modes can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. e order of modes is a follows: BOW, RIFLE A, RIFLE B, RIFLE C, RIFLE D, RIFLE E, RIFLE F, RIFLE G, RIFLE H, RIFLE I, RIFLE J, REG, etc. When the bow selection is displayed, the “BOW” icon will ﬂash and when a “RIFLE: selection is displayed, the “RIFLE” icon will be steady, but the ballistic group will be ﬂashing toward the bottom of the LCD. When the ( ) is displayed, the message ( ) will ﬂash near the bottom of the LCD.

Once the desired distance compensation mode is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the POWER button. Following this selection, the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for meters will ﬂash in the LCD and the SETUP icon is still lit. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit of measure. When the desired unit of measure

is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure. If the user chooses RIFLE mode, and after having determined unit of measure, the user has two more options:

1. Variable Sight-In (VSI™) - Allows the riﬂe hunter to choose from four sight-in distances (100, 150, 200, or 300 yards or meters). e “Sight Dist” indicator will turn on and the current Sight-In Distance number will blink in the bottom portion of the display (i.e. 100, 150, 200, or 300). e Sight-In Distance options can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. Once the desired Sight-In Distance is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the power button.

2. And ﬁnally, if RIFLE mode was chosen, and as long as unit of measure and a sight-in distance was selected, you have the option of determining how you would like hold-over/bullet-drop displayed. If measurement units are in yards, you will be able to choose between inches, or MOA. e “CM” for centimeters or “IN” for inches will ﬂash in the LCD and the SETUP icon is still lit. Once the desired ballistic measure is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the power button. If units of measure selected previously was Meters, then your hold-over / bullet-drop will automatically be displayed in centimeters.

Upon returning to the normal operating menu, the current compensation mode and unit of measure will be identiﬁed in the LCD as indicated below.

SETUP menu Normal Operating Menu

When the unit automatically powers down, operation will always return to the normal operation (i.e. away from SETUP) with the last used ARC mode active (i.e. BOW, RIFLE, or REGULAR) along with the last used TARGETING modes active (Standard SCAN, BULLSEYE, or BRUSH). If the unit turns oﬀ while in the SETUP menu, the unit will always return to the last mode(s) still active.

Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure angle. en release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, the line of sight will be displayed along with unit of measure. Beneath the line of sight distance and unit of measure, the degree of angle will be displayed for approximately 1.5 seconds, and will then automatically switch to the compensated range. e line of sight distance, unit of measure and automatic toggle from degree of angle to compensated distance will continue for 30 seconds at which time the display will automatically shut oﬀ.

BOW MODE EXAMPLE

Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards. e “ ” means “play” or “shoot as,” so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle.

If in BOW mode, the line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell determined through extensive testing and interviews with high-proﬁle bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they conﬁdently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty.

Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform diﬀerently from downhill shots because of gravity. However, it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows. e sighting pin on a bow resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example, when one is aiming 23 degrees up an incline, the arrow is at a diﬀerent angle.

RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE

Line of sight is 376 yards, angle is -33 degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is 28 inches. ARC not only takes into account ballistic data based oﬀ your caliber and load from distances of 100-800 yards, but also compensates for any uphill and downhill angles which also aﬀect bullet-drop.

If in RIFLE mode, the ballistic group will be displayed in the bullet drop numeric ﬁeld anytime that the primary numeric display is showing dashes (i.e. no target acquired). When a target is acquired in RIFLE mode, the line of sight distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. e “IN” icon (i.e. inches) will light next to the bullet drop numeric display, if the unit of measure is set to Yards (Y). If the unit of measure is set to Meters (M), the bullet drop will be calculated and displayed in centimeters and the “IN” icon will be turned oﬀ. If the bullet drop / hold over number is blinking, this means the user should add 100 to the number blinking.

REGULAR MODE

is mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight distance only. e will still appear below the line of sight numeric display, but there will not be any information displayed in this secondary numeric display.

KNOWING WHICH BALLISTIC GROUP TO SELECT

Bushnell engineers have worked with Sierra® Bullets’ ballistic programs and grouped many of the most popular calibers and loads into eight ballistic groups (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H). Once you know what caliber and load you are shooting simply look through the chart to determine which one of the eight ballistic groups match with your particular load and caliber. For Muzzleloaders, we have worked with PowerBelt Bullets to incorporate ballistic data into two ballistic groups (I and J).

Above are a few of the most popular caliber/load combinations. e enclosed Ballistics CD contains approximately 1000 caliber and load combinations. Simply load the CD into your computer CD drive and follow the instructions on your screen. is complete list can also be found on Bushnell’s website (www.bushnell.com).

After you have determined which ballistic group corresponds to your caliber and load, select this ballistic group (See MENU SETUP above). e internal formula will determine amount of bullet drop/holdover in inches or centimeters based upon distance, angle, and ballistics of your caliber and load.

is state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely where to hold for an eﬀective shot. is information should be treated as a helpful guide or tool and in no way should it ever replace practice and familiarity with your riﬂe, cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at diﬀerent ranges so you know how your riﬂe, cartridge and load will perform under various conditions. Always know what is behind your bullet; if you don’t know, don’t take the shot.

EXAMPLE

You have a 300 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: 180 gr. Ballistic Silver Tip bullet at 3010 FPS muzzle velocity. is combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the rangeﬁnder to ballistic group “F”, go to the range and sight in your riﬂescope at 100 yards. If you then take a shot at a target at 317 yds, the bullet drop will be 9 inches. If the shot is at angle of 27 degrees upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be 8 inches.

WHAT IF YOUR CALIBER IS NOT LISTED?

While we have taken great care to include as many calibers and brand names in our ballistics tables, new loads are always being developed. In addition, some shooters load their own ammunition with unique ballistic characteristics. If you cannot ﬁnd your load in our ballistic tables, you can still use the bullet drop feature of the laser rangeﬁnder. As above, sight in your riﬂe at 100 yds. en shoot the riﬂe, without adjusting the riﬂescope, at 300 yds. Measure the bullet drop from the point of aim. Using this drop, select the ballistic group from below. If you will be shooting longer distances then you may want to check the bullet drop at 500 yds. Because there is enormous variation in riﬂe barrels, chambers, and hand loads, you should thoroughly test the ballistic setting before actual hunting. You may need to move up or down one group depending upon your tests.

If Bullet Drop is: @300 yds @300 m @500 yds @500 m

OPTICAL DESIGN

Magniﬁcation and Coatings

e Legend® 1200 ARC™ features 6x magniﬁcation and Fully Multi-Coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards/meters, and Mode indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. ese are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. ey do not aﬀect the distancing performance of the unit.

RAINGUARD® HD

e outer surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses are coated with RainGuard® HD. RainGuard® HD is Bushnell’s permanent, patented, hydrophobic (water repellant) lens coating that prevents fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller uniform droplets scatter less light which results in a clearer, brighter view.

TRIPOD MOUNT

Molded into the bottom of your Legend 1200 ARC is a threaded tripod mount that will allow you to attach a tripod for a more stable operation during long periods of use.

CLEANING

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or ﬁngerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning ﬂuid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the ﬂuid to the cleaning cloth

- never directly on the lens.

COMMENT FONCTIONNE NOTRE TECHNOLOGIE NUMÉRIQUE

Le télémètre Legend® 1200 ARC™ émet des impulsions d’énergie infrarouge invisibles, sans danger pour les yeux. Le microprocesseur numérique de pointe et la puce ASIC (circuit intégré d’application spéciﬁque) du Legend 1200 ARC permettent à chaque fois des relevés de distance instantanés et précis. La technologie numérique sophistiquée permet de calculer les distances instantanément en mesurant le temps nécessaire à chaque pulsion pour aller du télémètre à la cible et revenir.

PRÉCISION DE L’ÉVALUATION DES DISTANCES

La précision de l’évaluation des distances du Legend 1200 ARC est de plus ou moins un mètre dans la plupart des cas. La plage d’évaluation maximum de l’appareil dépend de la réﬂexibilité de la cible. La distance maximum pour la plupart des objets est de 777 mètres alors que pour les objets très réﬂéchissants elle peut atteindre 1097 mètres. Remarque: Vous obtiendrez à la fois des distances maximales plus longues et plus courtes selon les propriétés de réﬂectivité d’une cible particulière et les conditions environnementales au moment de la mesure de distance d’un objet.

La couleur, le ﬁni de surface, la taille et la forme de la cible aﬀectent la réﬂectivité et la portée. Plus la couleur est vive, plus longue sera la plage de mesure. Le blanc est très réﬂéchissant, par exemple, et permet des plages de mesure plus longues que la couleur noire, qui est la couleur la moins réﬂéchissante. Un ﬁni brillant permet une plage de mesure plus longue qu’un ﬁni mat. Une cible de petite taille est plus diﬃcile à évaluer qu’une plus grande cible. L’angle de la cible a également un eﬀet. Viser une cible à un angle de 90 degrés (lorsque la surface de la cible est perpendiculaire au trajet des pulsions d’énergie émises) permet une longue plage de mesure alors que viser une cible à angle aigu, réduit la mesure. De plus, les conditions d’éclairage (quantité de lumière solaire) aﬀecteront également les capacités de mesure de l’appareil. Moins il y a de lumière (par ex. ciel couvert) plus la plage de mesure maximale s’allonge. Inversement, les journées très ensoleillées réduiront la a plage de mesure de l’appareil.

DÉMARRER

MISE EN PLACE DE LA PILE

Enlevez le cache de la pile en soulevant l’ergot du couvercle puis en le tournant dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre. Insérez une pile au lithium de CR-2 de 3 volts dans le compartiment d’abord par la borne positive, puis refermez le cache.

REMARQUE: Il est recommandé de remplacer la pile au moins une fois par an.

RÉGLAGE DE L’OCULAIRE

Votre Legend® 1200 ARC™ a été fabriqué avec un oculaire réglable (+/- 2 dioptries) qui permettent la mise au point de l’aﬃchage LCD relatif à l’image. Il vous suﬃt de faire pivoter l’oculaire jusqu’à ce que le réticule et l’objet à distance soient nets pour votre úil.

RÉSUMÉ DU FONCTIONNEMENT DE L’APPAREIL

Tout en regardant dans l’oculaire à grossissement de 6x appuyez une fois sur le bouton de marche pour activer l’aﬃchage à cristaux liquides (LCD). Placez le cercle de visée (situé au centre du champ de vision) sur une cible se trouvant à au moins 5 mètres, maintenez le bouton de marche enfoncé jusqu’à ce que la mesure de distance soit aﬃchée près du bas de l’aﬃchage. Les ﬁls croisés autour du cercle de visée indiquent que le laser est en cours de transmission. Une fois que la mesure de la distance a été acquise, vous pouvez relâcher le bouton de marche. Les ﬁls croisés autour du cercle de visée disparaîtront lorsque le bouton de marche sera relâché (c’est-à-dire que le laser n’est plus en cours de transmission). Remarque: Lorsqu’il a été activé, l’aﬃchage LCD restera actif et indiquera la dernière mesure de distance mesurée pendant 30 secondes. Vous pouvez rappuyer sur le bouton de marche à tout moment pour viser une nouvelle cible. Comme avec tout dispositif à laser, il est déconseillé de regarder directement les émissions pendant des périodes prolongées avec des lentilles grossissantes. La période maximale de la transmission (envoi) des rayons laser est de 10 secondes. Pour viser à nouveau, rappuyez sur le bouton.

COMPENSATION DE LA VISÉE D’ANGLE

Le® 1200 ARC™ est un télémètre laser sophistiqué et de grande qualité équipé d’un inclinomètre intégré fonctionnant grâce à un accéléromètre et qui aﬃche numériquement l’angle exact de -90 à +90 degrés d’élévation est qui est précis à +/- 1,0 degré.

Le Bushnell® Legend 1200 ARC résout le problème que les chasseurs ont dû aﬀronter depuis des années. Le problème: Les chasseurs pratiquant la chasse à l’arc ou au fusil ont dû se débattre avec les angles des pentes vers le haut ou vers le bas parce qu’elles modiﬁent la distance horizontale réelle de votre cible. La solution: L’inclinomètre intégré de l’ARC fournit l’angle d’élévation pour permettre la compensation de la distance lors de la visée des objets se trouvant soit vers le haut soit vers le bas. Ces données sont ensuite combinées avec les formules balistiques des algorithmes internes.

MODES ARC (COMPENSATION DE PORTÉE ANGULAIRE)

Mode Tir à l’arc ( ): Aﬃche la distance de la ligne de mire, le degré d’élévation, et la distance horizontale réelle de 5 à 99 mètres et une inclinaison maximum de +/- 90°.

Mode Fusil ( ): Calcule et aﬃche le taux de la chute de balle, sur la cible en centimètre ou en pouces ou minutes d’angle (MOA). Le taux de chute de balle est déterminé par la distance de la ligne de mire jusqu’à la cible, le degré d’élévation, ainsi que les caractéristiques balistiques particulières du calibre et de la charge des munitions. Lorsque vous évaluez la distance de votre cible, la ligne de mire, le degré d’élévation, et le taux de chute de balle/le report en pouces, en centimètres ou en minutes d’angle (MOA) seront aﬃchés de 100 à 800 mètres avec une inclinaison maximum de +/- 90°. L’un des huit groupes balistiques (identiﬁés par A, B, C, D, E, F, G, et H) pour les fusils à percussion centrale et deux groupes balistiques (identiﬁés par I et J) pour les fusils à poudre noire / chargement par la bouche peut être sélectionné par l’utilisateur, chaque formule représentant une combinaison particulière de calibre et de charge. Les groupes balistiques sont sélectionnés par l’utilisateur dans le menu SET-UP.

Mode Normal ( ): Ce mode ne fournit pas d’angle d’élévation ou de compensation de distance, mais plutôt, uniquement la distance de la ligne de mire.
