[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 549267, member: 24624"] I would think the results would be inconsistent and not precise enough to be meaningful. Then again... for target practice, you just need to be in the ballpark and have a spotter to help walk your shots in. You can always try it. A handheld GPS unit might only be slightly better. Neither one would be sufficient for actual hunting where your prey may appear at varying distances. A mildot or ranging scope might actually be better. But, it takes a good bit of practice. A good laser rangefinder is hard to beat. -- richard [/QUOTE]
