Abort Criteria for a Shallow Initial Sight Picture<br />

If the ISP shows the target above the 30 degree pitch line or your Velocity Vector is shallower<br />

than 28 degrees (27 or less). Do not attempt to release on that pass. Just realized that if you are<br />

3 degrees shallow, it will cause you to get a late release solution (pipper arrives at the aimpoint)<br />

100’ low for every degree shallow. In this case, 300’ low. You will get a Break X appearing<br />

very close to that. DO NOT fixate on the target and release low. Shallows lead to a late sight<br />

picture/late weapons release solution and will cause you to release low. Understand what caused<br />

you to be that far shallow and FIX IT on the next run.<br />
