The script uses two sight marks and calculates an initial sight mark for all distances.

The calculated mark will not be accurate, but should provide a good starting point.

1st Sight mark: Distance: Metres Yards

2nd Sight mark: Distance: Metres Yards

The following calculator is for extrapolating sight marks for all distances from only two.  It’s not going to be accurate, but may be useful as a starting point.  It assumes that sight position is fixed, so if you use short distances the predicted marks may go off the bottom or negative if you use marks for a long distance.  Let me know if you find it useful and don’t blame me if you lose your arrows!
