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. The 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.
Line of Sight = 376 Yards
Degree of Angle = -33°
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 primary numeric display. Either "IN," "MOA," "ML," or "CM" will light next to the
bullet drop numeric display. If the bullet drop / hold over reads "
what can be displayed, and or beyond ballistic calculations and user will need to hold low.
Line of Sight = 376 Yards
Holdover/Bulletdrop = 28 Inches
," this means the compensated distance is beyond
