Table 4: Magnified Field of View (MFOV) to Animal Length Ratio, R

Hunting Bullet Metrics MFOV Example Problem 1

Notes:

A = Scope Identification where:

1 = 1.7 - 10 power, identified on Table 2

2 = 3 - 18 power, identified on Table 3

B = Shot distance, feet (meters)

C = Magnification multiplier. A magnification multiplier of 3 is associated with a lung shot; a magnification

multiplier of 4 is associated with a heart shot.

E = Magnified field of view, as calculated here.

D = Required magnification for either a lung or heart shot, calculated by Mag = (Mag X) x (SD/100), rounded

up to the nearest magnification whole number. If the required magnification is less than the scope s

minimum power, the scope s minimum power is shown.

F = Magnified field of view to animal length ratio for an impala, as calculated here. The animal length of an

impala is assumed as 4.7 feet (1.4 meters) as indicated in Table 1.

G = Magnified field of view to animal length ratio for a kudu, as calculated here. The animal length of a

kudu is assumed as 6.2 feet (1.9 meters) as indicated in Table 1.

H = Magnified field of view to animal length ratio for a blue wildebeest, as calculated here. The animal

length of a blue wildebeest is assumed as 7.1 feet (2.2 meters) as indicated in Table 1.
