I'm not entirely new to scopes or basic ballistics, but this is my first experience with a digital scope. The inclinometer sensor is throwing me for a loop.
Normally, with a traditional scope, I would zero at flat (0 degrees), and then moving forward, I would manually enter my shooting angle into a calculator based on the specific shooting situations. My understanding is that zeroing at an angle (let's say -8 deg) cannot get you accurate ballistic calculations for anything other than shooting at -8deg AND at the same distance that was used during the zeroing process. (correct me if I'm wrong)
So, with this electronic scope, when you use the rangefinder and the scope's software solves the drop, is the live/current inclinometer value actually fed into the ballistic calculation, or is the software only using the manually entered shooting angle that is set in the ballistics menu?
I'm conjuring up scenarios where there would be conflicts and overlaps between the live inclinometer angle value and the manually entered angle in the ballistics menu. Obviously, this would result in miscalculated ballistics from the scope. I did pose this question to the manufacturer, but I'm not getting an entirely clear answer.
