HOW TO RANGE YOUR TARGET

ACSS automatic ranging greatly reduces the time between spotting the target through the scope and firing a correctly aimed
shot. There is NO need to run data, do math, or physically adjust the scope's settings. Wrong range estimation is the number
one reason shots are missed—ACSS directly addresses this issue!
Knowing the proper range of your target is crucial in order to use the right hold on the BDC. The horizontal bars range estimate
center mass on targets 18" wide, and predators or small game with an approximately 18" measurement from shoulder to hip.
Simply line up the target's width with the appropriate line to determine range to target. For example, an 18" wide target that
appears to be the same width as the ranging line with a "6" next to it will be 600 yards away. This method is useful when the
target's height is partially obscured, as with a target in tall grass.
Bullet drop compensation is correlated with the horizontal ranging. Once you have determined range to target using horizontal
ranging, you are already using the correct holdover to fire accurately (assuming no need to shift left or right due to wind).
Vertical ranging is calibrated for a 5'10" tall target. Looking through the scope at the target, line up the bottom of the target with
the lowest line on the ranging ladder. The line that coincides with the top of the target indicates the distance to the target. For
example, if the top of the target touches the second line from the top, the target is 400 yards distant. The ranging lines may
be used as reference points to make more precise, yet quick ranging determinations. For example, a 5'10" target with its top
midway between the top ranging line and second ranging line will be approximately 350 yards away.
