Holdover - Leica RANGEMASTER 2000-B Notice D'utilisation

EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE (
Shots at targets at a higher or lower position are subject to
changed ballistic conditions. Therefore, they require knowl-
edge of the equivalent horizontal range, which is relevant
for hunting. For example, knowledge of the
when using ballistic reticles.
Note:
Horizontal measurements can also result in values that
EHr
differ from the „straight line" measured range, for example if
the temperature and/or the atmospheric pressure vary from
the normal values.

HOLDOVER (

)
HOLd
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 Rangemaster 2000-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 gen-
eral conditions discussed in the previous section and the bal-
listic curve you have selected.
Note:
The holdover/elevation is always shown with reference to the
range to the target.
Example: If is displayed, you would have to stop
300m H30
30cm higher on the object than without correction.
