Notes

A
Scope Identification where:2 = 3 - 18 power, identified on Table 33 = 6.5 - 20 power, identified on Table 5
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.
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.
E
Magnified field of view, as calculated here.
F
Magnified field of view to animal length ratio for a springbok, as calculated here. The animal length of a springbok is assumed as 4.4 feet (1.3 meters) as indicated in Table 1.
G
Magnified field of view to animal length ratio for a blesbok, as calculated here. The animal length of a blesbok 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 zebra, as calculated here. The animal length of a zebra is assumed as 7.1 feet (2.2 meters) as indicated in Table 1.
