Finding Range

I have a question about finding range to target without the stadimeter.

First, I wanted to mention that I cannot stand the fact that I can't just input range, speed, and angle on bow with the numpad. It would be so much cooler if I could.

However I actually do not know how to find range without the stadimeter. There was an equation in the instruction manual, and I actually do not know how to use it. I can do math fairly well, but I can't make out what the equation says in the manual. It says something like (Number of degrees divided by [cos] multiplied by [tan] etc etc)

Anyway, I wouldn't actually know how to use that equation anyway even if I did know what it said. So could anyone give me the equation in simple terms that I could do with a calculator or a piece paper preferrably?

I realize that the lines on the periscope represent a specific number of degrees to help you find range. What is the math I'd need to do after I find the degree and bearing to target?

Any replies would be welcomed.
