Range Card

Adult shoulder height (at the withers) is the standard reference point for this kind of estimate, sourced from field guides and hunting references. Those published figures are the male animal. Female, calf and young-adult figures aren't independently published for most species — females are scaled by a per-species dimorphism band (equal, modest, clear or strong), and calf/young adult by 55% and 90%, based on typical ungulate growth patterns. Anything marked ~ is a derived estimate, not a measurement — treat it as a starting point and check against your own references.

Enter the table printed on your ammo box below. Velocity drives the calculated drop; energy is shown at your target distance for reference. If you also fill in the manufacturer's trajectory column, those published figures are used directly instead of the estimate — but only while your zero matches the zero that table was measured at.

Auto-filled by the "→ Use this range in Ballistics" button on the Scope (MIL) or Binoculars (FOV) tabs.

Recalculates live from the zero, sight height, and bullet table above. The row matching your current zero is highlighted (0 clicks, by definition).
