Eagle Ballistics is built to take the raw distance, the angle and the atmospherics and work out the firing solution itself. The guidance in the article is to give the solver the true LOS distance and let it calculate the angle. An angle-compensated reading has already been adjusted for the slope, so the solver would end up correcting the same shot twice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_angle-compensated_range_the_right_choice\"><\/span>When is angle-compensated range the right choice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you are bowhunting. A bow sight has no ballistic solver, so archers need a distance that already accounts for steep uphill or downhill angles. The article recommends switching to angle-compensated mode only for bowhunting. For rifle shooting with Eagle Ballistics, keep the rangefinder on Line-of-Sight and leave it there, so the solver always receives the raw distance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_still_see_the_shot_angle_in_Line-of-Sight_mode\"><\/span>Will I still see the shot angle in Line-of-Sight mode?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. According to the article, the TORIC 10&#215;42 Eagle Ballistics LRF Binocular still gives you the uphill or downhill angle, but it does not bake that angle into the distance. The solver receives the clean Line-of-Sight range and the angle as two separate inputs, then applies the trigonometric correction itself.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_TORIC_LRF_send_readings_to_the_Eagle_Ballistics_app\"><\/span>How does the TORIC LRF send readings to the Eagle Ballistics app?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It connects directly to the app. The article lists three things you get from that link: instant range transfer, automatic angle capture and real-time ballistic solutions. Because the reading moves straight into the app, there is no manual entry and no chance of a transcription error between the binocular and your firing solution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related\"><\/span>Related<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/toric-10x42-eagle-ballistics-laser-rangefinding-binocular\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TORIC 10&#215;42 Eagle Ballistics Rangefinding Binocular<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/videosview\/laser-rangefinder-settings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best rangefinder settings for bowhunting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/compensating-for-shooting-angle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Compensating for shooting angle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/videosview\/10x42-eagle-ballistics-rangefinder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matching rangefinder and EB app data<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover why Line\u2011of\u2011Sight is the correct setting when pairing your TRACT rangefinder with the Eagle Ballistics app. Learn how LOS delivers true distance, prevents double\u2011correction, and ensures the most accurate ballistic solutions for precision shooters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1003,"featured_media":13465,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4559,3616],"tags":[4973,4974,4975,4976,4977,4978,4979,4980,4981,4982,3735,4983,4984,4985,4986,4987,4988,4989,4990,4991,4825,4992,4993,4994,4995,4996],"class_list":["post-13462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-binocular-rangefinder","category-eagleman","tag-angle-compensation-bowhunting","tag-ballistic-app-setup-guide","tag-ballistic-solver-true-distance","tag-best-rangefinder-for-precision-shooting","tag-eagle-ballistics-app-tutorial","tag-eagle-ballistics-los","tag-how-to-use-los-mode","tag-line-of-sight-los","tag-long-range-accuracy-tips","tag-long-range-hunting-ballistics","tag-long-range-shooting-tips","tag-los-mode-explained","tag-los-rangefinder-setup","tag-los-vs-angle-compensated","tag-precision-rifle-ballistics","tag-precision-shooting-ballistics","tag-rangefinder-settings-for-eagle-ballistics","tag-rifle-ballistics-education","tag-shooting-angle-correction","tag-shooting-uphill-downhill-ballistics","tag-toric-10x42-eagle-ballistics-lrf","tag-tract-optics-ballistics","tag-tract-optics-blog","tag-tract-rangefinder-los","tag-true-range-vs-modified-range","tag-why-line-of-sight-los-is-the-correct-setting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1003"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13462"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13462\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13464,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13462\/revisions\/13464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
