[QUOTE="Broz, post: 600876, member: 7503"] Shawn you method of 3 ranges is a very good one. In the instances where there is nothing behind the target for a long ways, then I simply come down slowly firing the RF until I get a reading. Like I touched on in this thread a while back. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f30/yote-down-1100-plus-83800/[/URL] Another good test that can also give some different answers is the pole test. I will position myself where I can see a row of electric poles for a mile or so. Then start walking the RF out from pole to pole (about 200 yard spacing usually) . Aim it high on the pole so there will be nothing there to interfear. What this test can tell you is if your RF's reticle is indeed aligned with the actual beam. Most I have tested are not. If you get a miss try again slightly left or right of the pole. If you then get a hit you will know how to better use your RF to its full mechanical capabilities, as you now know where your beam is in referance to the reticle.
