The two elements multiplied to determine the deviation correction are OT Factor and Spotting. Which option is correct?

• A. OT Factor and Range
• B. OT Factor and Spotting
• C. Spotting and Deviation
• D. Range and Deviation

Answer: (B)

When adjusting for a miss, you need a correction that scales with both what you observed and how the target conditions affect that observation. The OT Factor is a scaling factor tied to the target and firing situation; it sets how sensitive the correction should be given the target and setup. Spotting is the observer’s measurement of how far off the shot was from the target. Multiply these two together to obtain the deviation correction you apply to the fire data so the next shot lands closer. Range or the deviation value itself aren’t the multipliers here—the deviation is the result of applying that product, while range mainly influences ballistic behavior. So the correct pairing is OT Factor and Spotting.
