[QUOTE="supercrossbmx69, post: 881800, member: 29593"] Thank you guys for your help I think I figured it out. Will shoot tomorrow to be sure. So since it is calibrated now (I think) say I go hunting somewhere I've never been, I won't have to re calibrate, correct? From what I was reading in the manual, it made it sound like I had to re-calibrate the kestrel every time I switched altitudes (hunting spots) Which would be a pain considering I often go to places I've never been with friends, when we have no idea where we will even go. Grey fox, thanks for your input, I'm still not sure if I do want to make the swap yet. Here my story. A few weeks ago I went out to fill my doe tag. Easy I thought. But I had my mind set that I would not just shoot the first Doe I saw, she hard to be far to make it fun! So I found what I was looking for, a doe a what I thought was 850+ yards. So I ranged her with the g7. Which came back 515 yds. So I was like there's no way?? She has to be ATLEAST 800. Problem I believe was she was behind a hill, and I believe the g7 was ranging the top of the hill due to its large laser beam, NOT the doe. So I lost the trophy doe because I wasn't confident in the G7. But in all reality, what if that were a 200" buck? I would never be able to look at the g7 again. And I would of had to watch the buck walk!! Which is what brought the terrapin into my mind. Because it has a way smaller beam. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
