[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 315885, member: 13285"] Yesterday, I compared my Swarvo against my mates new Bushnell 1500. The Swarvo was reading out past 1500 yards and the Bushnell would not read past 780 yards. We were both reading to the same points at the same time, late in the afternoon under ideal light conditions. His cost about a quarter of what mine cost. A couple of points....... The Bushnell was reading 468 yards to a target on a sloping hillside while my Swarvo was reading 441 to the same target that was at a known distance of 441 yards. This leads me to believe that the Bushnell was aiming high and hitting the ground past the target some 27 yards further away. This could be a problem at longer ranges. As your shot would go high. Another point...... rangefinders will vary the maximum distance that they can read depending on the reflective nature of the surface that they are pointed at. My Swarvo will read past 1600 yards on Gum tree leaves but not past 1000 yards on pine tree needles. The colour and composition of rocks and soil also seems to vary reflected laser signal. This may be your problem in the area where you live. [/QUOTE]
