During the hunting process, precise distance measurement and judgment are one of the key factors determining whether one can successfully hit the target. The Horizontal Distance Calculator (ARC) built into the Gogogo Sport Vpro GS60 rangefinder provides hunters with an extremely practical function that can effectively improve the hunting hit rate. Now let's reveal the principle of ARC and its role in improving the hit rate.

1. Basic Principles of ARC

The core principle of ARC is based on trigonometric functions and geometric calculations. In actual hunting scenarios, when hunters are on non-horizontal terrain (such as slopes, hills, etc.) and measure the distance of the target, the straight-line distance (slant distance) measured is different from the horizontal distance actually used for shooting calculation. ARC acquires the Angle information (elevation Angle or depression Angle) between the rangefinder and the target through the built-in sensor, and then combines the measured straight-line distance data to calculate using trigonometric function relationships (mainly cosine functions).

1. Application of ARC in Different Terrains

Uphill terrain

When hunters are in an uphill position and aim at the prey below, the measured straight-line distance will be longer than the actual horizontal distance. At this point, ARC will automatically correct the straight-line distance based on the measured elevation Angle data and calculate the accurate horizontal distance. For example, in an uphill scene with a 30° elevation Angle and a straight-line distance of 200 yards, through ARC calculation, the horizontal distance is approximately 200×cos30°≈173.2 yards. Hunters adjust shooting parameters such as aiming point and shooting force based on this accurate horizontal distance, which can effectively avoid shooting deviations caused by misjudgment of distance and improve the hit rate.

Downhill terrain

In downhill scenarios, the situation is the opposite. The measured straight-line distance will be less than the actual horizontal distance. ARC will also conduct precise calculations based on the pitch Angle data. For instance, in a downhill situation with a 30° depression Angle and a straight-line distance of 150 yards, after ARC calculation, the horizontal distance is approximately

150÷cos30°≈173.2 yards. In this way, hunters can obtain the real horizontal distance information and make more accurate shooting decisions.

1. The advantages of ARC in improving Hunting Hit rate

Simplify the calculation process

In the absence of the ARC function, hunters need to perform complex trigonometric function calculations manually, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. The automatic calculation function of ARC enables hunters to quickly obtain accurate horizontal distance data without the need for cumbersome mathematical operations, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of hunting.

Adapt to complex environments

The terrain of the hunting ground is complex and changeable. ARC can quickly and accurately calculate the horizontal distance under various terrain conditions. Whether it is mountainous, jungle or other irregular terrain, it can provide reliable distance information for hunters. This ability to adapt to complex environments enables hunters to shoot more accurately in different scenarios, increasing the chances of successful hunting.

Enhance shooting confidence

When hunters can obtain accurate horizontal distance data, they will be more confident when shooting. Psychological stability helps to better control shooting actions, reduce shooting deviations caused by nervousness or misjudgment of distance, and thereby further improve the hit rate.

The Horizontal Distance Calculator (ARC) of the Gogogo Sport Vpro GS60 rangefinder provides accurate horizontal distance data for hunters in complex terrain environments through scientific principles and efficient calculation methods. It plays an important role in simplifying operations, adapting to the environment and enhancing confidence, and effectively improves the hunting hit rate. It has become an indispensable practical function in the hunting process.
