Equivalent Horizontal Distance; Holdover - Leica GEOVID HD-R2700 Anleitung

THE EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE (
Shots at targets at a higher or lower elevation are
subject to changed ballistic conditions. Therefore,
they require knowledge of the equivalent horizontal
range, which is relevant for hunting. Knowledge of
the is important, for example when using
ballistic reticles. values are indicated by the
additional display .
Note
Horizontal measurements can also result in
values that differ from the "straight line" measured
range, for example if the temperature and/or the
atmospheric pressure are non-standard values.

HOLDOVER

(HOLd)
(only HD-B 3000)
Holdover is defined as the point that you aim at
with the weapon instead of the actual target point
to compensate for the variation caused by the
trajectory of the bullet (e.g. when using classic
hunting reticles). By displaying the holdover, the
Leica Geovid HD-B can provide valuable support in
achieving the most accurate shots possible when
hunting. In addition to the range, the calculation is
based on the general conditions discussed in the
previous section and the ballistic curve you have
selected.
Note
The holdover/offset value is always displayed rela-
tive to the target distance.
