- Page 16 FUNCTION 1: TBR, BOW OR LOS To activate TBR, BOW, or LOS, activate the RX-1200i by pressing the POWER button, then press and release the MODE button to enter the menu . While “Out Put” is shown in the display, press and release the POWER button to rotate through TBR, BOW, and LOS modes .
- Page 17 first step in correctly using TBR is to Practice, Practice, Practice . Anytime you handle a firearm or bow, you are ultimately responsible for your projectile . For rifle users, scope adjustment or holdover information can also be displayed . The available settings are as follows: BAS outputs the equivalent horizontal range, HOLD displays the inches or centimeters (depending on unit of measure selected) to holdover the intended point of impact, MIL displays the number of milliradians to holdover the intended point of...
- Page 18 In the example to the right, the line of sight distance is 484 yards, and the lower display indicates that you should hold 51.4 inches above your intended point of impact. If the RX-1200i TBR/W is set to range in meters, the appropriate holdover would be shown in centimeters.
- Page 19 MIL will display the appropriate amount of holdover in milliradians to use, which is based upon the ballistics group and sight-in distance you will choose in a later mode. The upper display shows the line of sight distance to the target. The lower display will briefly show whether you should hold high or low, then the appropriate number of mils to hold over or under.
- Page 20 Scope corrections will be displayed in MOA for both yards and meters modes. TRIG, a function that is included to support engineers and sportsmen, displays the true horizontal range and true vertical range, which is based upon trigonometry using angle and line of sight distance. Line of sight distance (LOS) readings will be displayed in the lower portion of the display.
- Page 21 resulting distance will be the line of sight distance only. Most importantly, using BOW effectively means to Practice, Practice, Practice. Anytime you handle a firearm or bow, you are ultimately responsible for your projectile. LINE OF SIGHT This mode, when activated, provides the straight line distance to the target without accounting for shot angle or specific ballistics.
