Why shouldn’t archers use the LOS mode? Wouldn’t you want to see what the slope angle of the hill is? I have mine in HCD mode, but when I range a target up hill at 60 yards my arrow is a couple of inches short. When I shoot on flat ground at 60 yard my arrow is on point.
Would it be possible to create a laser rangefinder that utilizes a narrower beam of light so that long range shooters would be able to make use of them beyond a few hundred yards.
@@IWONUMAD i am just fine. it isn’t a matter of how far their laser goes. It’s a matter of how wide their beam extends to the sides and top-bottom. It increases the chances for error, and at further distances on small or non reflective targets they get false readings from grass, tree limbs etc. all of the lasers I have dealt with have the same issue. The beam of light is too wide.
Hey Jim - we do appreciate your patience as we work to fill backorders. With the state of everything please know that we are doing everything we can to minimize those backorder times as fast as we can. Again - we really appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get those orders filled!
I have an old Bushnell I bought as a new , but used one off eBay.... But it takes a 9V battery/lol 😂 so mine probably doesn't have range compensation? Or was that built into rangefinders from the beginning? Or is it a direct line of sight range? Do you think Bushnell has a warranty services ?

Many thanks for explaining range finder modes
Do these link to a kestrel and have a digital compas?

Are you alright bud? Even their entry 1400 goes past 300 yards.

@@possumpopper89 that seems like a good idea, my guess is that it requires a ridiculous amount of precision
@@epigenetics9798 the military versions that have that capability cost over 20 grand new.
@@possumpopper89 well there is your answer 😄
what about VCD mode?
Been waiting for my Vortex Fury AB rangefinding binos for since last September and just heard I probably won't see them until next September.

Ok. I want one!!! 🤙😎
It's not 18°.
It's 14.07°.
See Phythagorean theorem formula.
Good quality for reasonable price
