LOS Mode
The Line of Sight (LOS) Mode is intended for rifle
shooters who are using slope correcting ballistic drop
data cards, ballistic cell phone applications, or other
devices with ballistic programs and who are shooting
at distances beyond 500 yards and with slopes greater
than 15 degrees.
The range number displayed in LOS Mode is the
actual line of sight range with no ballistic correction
for slope. Most of the commonly used ballistic devices
can provide independent slope correction for bullet
drop data and require actual line of sight range input.
Using the LOS range when calculating bullet wind
drifts under these steep slope/long range conditions
will provide a higher degree of accuracy than using the
HCD range. While in LOS Mode, inclination angle of
the target is also displayed on the screen. Downward
angles are denoted with negative numbers.

Sight Height
Zero Range
The distance at which you have zeroed your rifle. The
measurement units can be set to standard (yards) or
metric (meters) in the Settings Menu.
Barrel Twist Rate
Barrel Twist Rate is the distance covered for each
revolution of the bullet within the barrel. For example,
if your barrel is denoted as “1:8”, this means the
bullet will complete one full rotation every 8 inches
and you should enter “8” into this space. This
information may be marked on the rifle barrel, or on
the manufacturer’s website. Update the Twist Rate to
match your rifle.
Note: If your barrel has a left-hand twist, you must enter the
Twist Rate via the GeoBallistics®App and denote it with a
negative or minus sign. A negative sign will then be displayed
before the Twist Rate on the device. If you cannot find the
twist rate for your barrel, we recommend inputting 10.
