How are deviation corrections calculated?

• A. OT Factor x Spotting = Deviation Correction
• B. Spotting x OT Factor
• C. Deviation Correction = OT Factor
• D. Deviation = OT Factor x Spotting

Answer: (A)

The key idea is turning what you observed into the actual adjustment you need to make. The OT Factor is the scale factor that converts the observed deviation (spotting) into the correction you apply to the aim. By multiplying the spotting value by the OT Factor, you get the deviation correction—the amount to adjust the aim to bring the round closer to the target. In this context, the deviation correction is not just the raw spotting, but the scaled value that tells you how far and in which direction to move your aim.
