[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 60837, member: 2212"] I have a Leica 1200 and love it also. Remember that the laser beam is a very narrow beam.. It reflects off the intended object at the same angle it strikes (if you hit at a 45 degree angle, it reflects off at a 45 degree angle away from you). To get a good reading at longer ranges, the squarer you are to the target, the better your chances of getting a good return and a solid reading. That is why a hard surface reads easier than a "soft"(animal) return, which tends to defuse the beam. Live critters don't tend to bounce the beam back unless they are fairly square to you. Try shooting a round fence post and your beams goes everywhere except back at you often. Hit a rock face, etc. fairly square to you and readings are consistent. That is why at longer ranges I try to bounce off a hard reflective surface near my target. Not always possible, but much better consistency! Leica has a tighter beam than other models like Bushnell. The beam on a 1200 is stronger than say on a 900, which allows further readings, but beam must be tighter to travel to the further object and reflect back.
