Use HUD for the shot in front of you. Select a card target and read its distance, dial elevation, wind hold, direction, and target note together. Use Table for comparison. Scan all current rows to catch discontinuities and compare elevation, primary and secondary wind values, remaining velocity, time of flight, and Mach. Treat secondary values as diagnostics. Remaining velocity, time of flight, and Mach help explain the curve and wind exposure. They are not substitutes for a verified elevation and wind plan. Verify units and direction. Confirm the profile's distance and angle units. Wind cells include direction; do not copy a magnitude without it. Investigate, then recalculate. If a row looks wrong, correct the profile, environment, wind, or target distance at its source. Recalculate and review the new accepted snapshot.

A table is a review surface, not proof. Smooth-looking rows can still be based on incorrect inputs. Compare representative distances with verified range data.
