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.
