Equation To manually calculate inclination adjustment, we only need to know our typical bullet drop for the target distance and our angle of fire: BDA * cos(angle°) - (.01 * angle°) = Adjusted vertical hold in MRADs Calculation Example Sgt McShooty is deployed as a Spotter (Manual) on a Honeybadger. He ranges a priority target at 900m with an inclination of 20°. Looking at his range card, he notes he would typically need to adjust 9.8 MRADs up for this range. 9.8 * cos(20°) - (.01 * 20) = 9.0 MRADs The adjusted vertical hold is 9.0 MRADs. Equation Limitations
