Changing winds, rain, steep terrain, and distances of 500 to 800 meters challenged the hunters. In the backpack: a Blaser R8 with ZEISS VICTORY V8 4.8\u201335\u00d760 and sufficient .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition. Even under these extreme conditions, the bullet drop compensation (BDC) \u2013 ASV by ZEISS showed its precision and practicability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bullet drop compensation (BDC) \u2013 ASV. Precision goes a long way<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For most hunters, shooting at ranges over 150 meters are an exception. The BDC helps master the ballistic and professional challenge in long-range shooting situations with confidence. Those who want to consistently and accurately shoot game at long distances need to practice and perfectly match their rifle, ammunition and riflescope together. ZEISS has designed and developed the bullet drop compensation for this very purpose, to ensure a perfectly placed shot. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

idea is to enable accurate aiming at any distance and with every projectile by being able to quickly adjust the riflescope when on target. You only need to know the distance to the target, then you can use the range references on the elevation turret to adjust for the projectile drop even over long distances. ZEISS scopes equipped with ASV+, ASV LongRange and ASV Competition come with nine pre-engraved ballistic rings. Calculating, click counting or holding over are no longer needed to ensure a perfectly placed shot on target \u2013 at any distance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equpiment used<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n  <figure id=\"image-wo-block_5e315cc752099\" class=\"image-options  none half\">\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"image-wo\">\n       <div class=\"image-wo-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"copyright black\">\u00a9 ZEISS Victory V8 4.8-35&#215;60<\/div>\n      \n\n          \n            <div class=\"image-wo-link\">\n\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeiss.com\/consumer-products\/int\/hunting\/riflescopes\/victory-v8\/victory-v8-4-8-35x60.html\" title=\"Victory V8 4.8-35x60\" target=\"_blank\">\n                 <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/hunting\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/victory-v8-4-8-35x60-perspective-768x575.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n              <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n                 <\/div>\n          \n\n\n\n\n  <!-- end image-options-->\n  <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-template-default\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/sports-optics\/hunting\/en\/hunting-tahr-new-zealand\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Hunting Tahr in New Zealand\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"vlp-link-image-container\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/blogs.zeiss.com\/intern\/sportsoptics\/hunting\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/IMG_8469-version-3-scaled.jpg');\">\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-text-container\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vlp-eyebrow\">External content<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading\">\n\t\t\tHunting Tahr in New Zealand\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vlp-link-summary\">\n\t\t\tSome hunts are supposed to be hard.
