Then I estimate the range with the split image, etc, but I do it mainly to replicate what the original captain or fire control officer did. Since most of my shooting is done under 1500 yds, I manually adjust the range once the target gets in close so that I get an accurate representation of the setup on the attack map to confirm the solution. If range is your main problem, you are in good shape. I hope you find this helpful. Joe S

Thanks for the advice, I have the O'Kane method down
cold. And I worked the trigonometry so I understand why the range doesn't matter. It's when I use the PK for non-O'Kane shooting that I have problems with range.
