Range is only important for two things.

1. To plot the target to be used in calculating the speed.
2. To be in optimum range to make a shot and/or determine how long till you can fire i.e. how long before it is in front of you

In essence, once I have the speed, distance is no longer plays any significant part.

AOB and distance have no connection. As ploting the target only involves range and relative bearing.

Using the 100% manual tdc allows me to prepare my shot well in advance of the firimg time. I set the scope up on the releative bearing that I want to fire at, put in the AOB (that I expect the target to have) click the notepad (twice to ensure the update occurs) and wait. Have a quick Look and fine tune AOB, remember though, if you move the scope and update the AOB and click 'ok' then the scopes current relative bearing will be input, so just before firing you might wish to click the 'ok' again to ensure that the relative bearing is correct.

With this method, I have about a 95% success rate. I however rarely am in a position that does not allow me to fire from less than 1000 metres. This is without coming to an all stop.
