The Angle Cosine Indicator,
is a solid precision instrument, made from aircraft grade aluminium, which is anodized
in black. Its action is completely silent, it is robust and is unaffected by weather.
Above all, it is easy to use.
It is attached to the
scope at 90 degrees from the bore, by the scope ring supplied, either in front of or behind the parallax adjustment knobs,
depending on your eyesight preference. It can be used on your scope, spotting
scope, bow or binoculars. The ACI works on any
shoulder mounted weapon system and on almost all types of optic. The cosine marks
go up in increments of 5 degrees starting at “0” so you can also work out the angle of the shot if you wish (making
it compatible with most etched reticule based sighting systems, and also the Mildot Master).
When the weapon is held
at an angle, the ACI
indicates the cosine number of that angle by
means of a highly visible index mark; for mathematical simplicity you should treat these marks as decimal or percentages, whichever you find easier, hence 87
would be .87 or 87%. The "Established Range" (distance to target at the indicated angle) is then multiplied by the reading.
WHAT DOES THIS DO?
IT
GIVES THE ADJUSTED FOR GRAVITY DISTANCE
VERY IMPORTANT This can be either
uphill or downhill. The calculation is the same.
For example: 100m x
.87 = 87 m. Adjusted for gravity distance = 87m
87
Or 100 metres x 100 =
87 metres. Same result!
Or cosine can be entered into your ballistic software. (Some software requires angle
only - this can easily be counted on ACI as numbers go up and down in 5 degree increments) Alternatively Angle Degree Indicator
(ADI) is available
WHAT NEXT?
You should now adjust
sight elevation knob (come-ups) on your scope, for the "corrected range". The ACI has now calculated for you the distance to the target as if you were at 180 degrees to the target and automatically
compensated for gravity. MOST IMPORTANTLY – YOU DID NOT EVEN
HAVE TO BREAK YOUR CHEEK WELD.
RESULT? If you have done everything correctly including compensating for the wind, your shot should be
"Dead on Target"
