I bought a Leica 1600 for hunting and love it, haven't played with the ballistic angle compensation though I guess I'll have to play with it some.

:using a Treestand for example ...l------X base of treestand to target= 30yds
-Up in tree the just for easy math 30FT [10yds] Angle in degrees ... 31.6yds.. thats line of sight to target...
For Example without getting in a whole mathmatics
For a right triangle .... A squared + B Squared = C squared
Height (A) 10yds
Horizontal distance (B) 10 yds
Angular distance (C) 14.1 yds This is what a non ARC rangefinder will give you for the line of sight distance, you want to shoot for 10 yds.
Height (A) 10yds
Horizontal distance (B) 20 yds
Angular distance (C) 22.4 yds This is what a non ARC rangefinder will give you for the line of sight distance, you want to shoot for 20 yds.
Height (A) 10yds
Horizontal distance (B) 30 yds
Angular distance (C) 31.6 yds This is what a non ARC rangefinder will give you for the line of sight distance, you want to shoot for 30 yds.
NOW up in that tree I dont have pen and paper caculator or the smarts so the ARC caculates all that for me...
If the world is flat ...base of treestand to target...30yds...10 yds up line of sight is now 31.6 yds...as a non ARC will read...ARC says ....plus this ,minus that multiplied by those...AIM 30 YDS..instantly...
I dont argue ...learnt from mistakes... learnt to bend at the waist and shoot for the horizontal distance.
I shoot 30 yds...things die
lol
Basically ARC is reading base of tree distance to target.... from up in tree...with a little adjustment just cause...
[math is approximate and only for entertainment purposes] lol
