4. plug in estimated speed in Position Keeper and refine to final speed;
5. if all else fails, setup for a snapshot as the target crosses you bow.

Could someone explain the 3 minute rule? |
Well.. i really wouldn't like to misguide anyone so i'll leave the explaining of 3 minute rule to someone else.. (i usually mess it somewhere between imperial and metric settings) however i would recommend everyone that has "show contacts on map" enabled the nomograph.. its fast and reliable.. can't understand why not much preffered though..
