[QUOTE="johnnybar, post: 598311, member: 40533"] On several web sites, I read people stating that they like a certain brand and model of rangefinder because it ranged deer or horses or trees or buildings at xxxx yds. Almost all of these posts do not compare the reading to any absolute known distances. A cow lasered at 1427 yds may really be 1592 yds or ???? yds and you are really ranging who knows what....rocks, pasture weeds, etc. Please someone, get a hair-on deer hide, fold it in thirds to expose the normal side profile, hang it on a bush at a half mile mark and range it.....do you get 880[U]+[/U] yds ? Most mile sections have quarter section cross fences that are at that disance. Maybe range a big rock at the half mile mark too. That's the kind of report I would like to read before messing with ordering, being dissapointed and hassling with a return/refund....as I have done with too many electronic gadgets. I am really leaning toward Fusion 1600 Bino's and would like to know what they really can do. PS: Use your trucks trip meter if you have to....reset it at a landmark, drive to the 0.5 mile point, set out a piece of hide, return to point zero and laser, repeat till ranging fails then report findings.
