Important:

Note that at longer ranges, the influence of all the

factors relevant in ballistics increases significantly

and considerable variations can occur. The ballistic

values displayed should therefore be seen only as a

reference.

Regardless of whether or not you use this

information, you are responsible for assessing the

relevant hunting situation.

EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE

Shots at higher or lower targets are subject to

changed ballistic conditions. They therefore require

the use of the equivalent horizontal range, which

differs from the actual distance to the target (in some

cases significantly).

Note:

Even horizontal EHR measurements can result in

values that differ from the "normal" measured range,

for example if the temperature and/or atmospheric

pressure differ from the programmed mean values.

pOINT OF AIM

The point of aim is the point the weapon is aimed at

instead of the actual target to compensate for the

variations caused by the flight of the bullet (e.g. when

using conventional hunting reticules).

By displaying the point of aim, the Leica Geovid HD-B

can provide valuable support when used in hunting,

ensuring that shots are as accurate as possible.

In addition to the range, the calculation is based on

the general conditions outlined in the previous section

and the ballistics curve you have selected.

Note:

The point of aim / attachment value displayed is

always expressed relative to the distance to the target.

Example: If

300m 30

is displayed, you would need to

aim 30cm higher on the object than would be the case

without correction.
