Equivalent Horizontal Distance; Holdover - Leica 2700-B Instructions Manual

EN
EQUIVALENT HORIZONTAL RANGE (
Shots at targets at a higher or lower elevation are
subject changed ballistic conditions. Therefore, they
require knowledge of the equivalent horizontal range,
which is relevant for hunting. Knowledge of the

Note:
Horizontal measurements can also result in values
EHr
that differ from the „straight line" measured range, for
example if the temperature and/or the atmospheric
pressure vary from the normal values.

HOLDOVER (

EHr
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
is of the bullet (e.g. when using classic hunting reticles).

rate shots possible when hunting. In addition to the
range, the calculation is based on the general condi-
tions discussed in the previous section and the ballistic
curve you have selected.
Note:
The holdover/elevation is always shown with reference
to the range to the target.
Example: If
30 cm higher on the object than without correction.
