It could be he was planning for a head shot and needed the range information for a proper aim. A 5.56 does not shoot in a straight line of sight, it actually arcs upwards then downwards. Knowing the elevation the bullet will hit at a certain distance improves accuracy.
For example if a 5.56 weapon with a 16 inch barrel is zeroed in for a dead center hit at 50 yards, it will likely hit 2.75 inches above the line of sight at 100 yards. A 50 yard zero is best for shots 200 yards or less. Reaching out any farther a 200 yard zero is supposed to be best. Where to zero the weapon is my opinion. The arced flight of the projectile is fact.
Now imagine that it were Kamala, and not Trump, was speaking there. Would there be no recordings, would the Secret Service not be on a same channel with the police assets to co-ordinate them?
Now you see what is going on. The protection was anything but. It was like swiss cheese with plenty of holes.
And not only that, but if it were Kamala, don't you think she would question the heck out of Cheatle what went wrong and get straight answers? But they won't give the same curtesy to Trump.
It's time for a Republican Administration. The Secret Service, the FBI, the CIA and God knows what is corrupt now. The DOJ Weaponized. And not only against Trump, but also against you and me.
Trump and the Republicans need to shine the light on the DC Swamp creatures and clean the house of them thoroughly. He needs the replacements done DAY 1. And this includes the Military as there have been active traitors there (listening in on Trump and Putin and betraying the President publicly).
Oh, yes, a thorough cleaning.
Now you see what is going on. The protection was anything but. It was like swiss cheese with plenty of holes.

Swiss cheese security with plenty of holes describes it best!
I wish the SS and FBI would just decline to comment rather than troll the congressional persons with their smirky and smug non-answers. If they must give these nonsensical press
conferences, then the congress critters should reply each time, “you are full of $&^t”. Why would they treat serial obfuscators and prevaricators with any respect?
And Chris Wray with the “shrapnel” hoax in order to downplay the fact that Trump was almost killed. Another FBI hoax on the American people.
Congressman Dr. Ronnie Jackson reported that night his nephew sustained a minor neck wound. Didn’t require hospitalization and other than his uncle’s report I’ve not seen him mentioned on casualty lists.
