BAllIsTIC & EnVIROnMEnTAl QuICk REFEREnCE
RTd – rifling twist direction (right = clockwise from
the shooter's perspective)
Click – assigns an angular value to sight clicks
DsF - drop scale factor
Eunit elevation unit – The units used for elevation
adjustments (Eclick). Can be mils, clicks, tmoa (True
Minute of Angle), smoa (Shooter's Minute of Angle).
Eclick – elevation adjustment necessary for the firing
solution in the units specified above.
Wunit – windage unit – The units used for windage
adjustments (Wclick). Can be mils, clicks, tmoa (True
Minute of Angle), smoa (Shooter's Minute of Angle).
Wclick – windage adjustment necessary for the firing
solution in the units specified above.
Environment screen
update – controls whether values for temperature,
barometric pressure, and relative humidity are
obtained automatically (yes) (from the Kestrel's weather-
meter functions) or are manually set by the user (no)
lat – allows the user to specify the latitude that will be
used when calculating Coriolis corrections
Temp – temperature
sp – station pressure (actual pressure at the
gun's location)
RH – relative humidity
Dalt – density altitude (calculated from pressure,
temperature & humidity)
spin Drift – controls whether Spin Drift corrections are
included in ballistics calculations
Wcap – toggles between applying windage correction
to just the current active target (one tgt) or to all targets
Range Card screen
Elv – the elevation sight correction
Wnd1 – the windage sight correction based on WS1
Wnd2 – the windage sight correction based on WS2
lead – the lead sight correction (for a moving
target)
RemV – the downrange bullet velocity
RemE – the downrange bullet energy
ToF – the bullet's time of flight
spnD – the amount of Spin Drift being applied to the
bullet
Ballistics Data screen
Range – the range for which the ballistic solution
is calculated
Elv – elevation correction
Wnd1 – windage correction (based on WS1)
Wnd2 – windage correction (based on WS2)
lead – lead correction, based on specified
target motion
vCor – vertical Coriolis correction
hCor – horizontal Coriolis correction
Drft – bullet drift correction
RemV – remaining velocity
RemE – remaining energy
ToF – time of flight
MaxO – maximum ordinate (highest point the bullet
reaches in flight)
Drp – total drop distance
Rtrns – range at which transonic velocity
transition begins
