[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 113494, member: 2011"] I have been moaning and groaning about LRFs on various threads. I decided that my 1000 yard back yard range was only one test location and narrowed the ranging opporturnites more than is appropriate. Yesterday I spend the day at a girls camp and led a hike for several hours. It was a beautiful mountain setting with varied conditions of sunlight and features. Of course I took my Leica 1200 Scan LRF with me. The only downer was that I received a few comments that it looked like a flask [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] The high point was when one of the parents, kind of an overeducated know it all type when asked "how far is it to that tree over there?" responded with 115 yds and I was confidently able to respond with "well its 'actually' 1111yds". WooooHoooo [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'd pretend there was a buck in a spot then range it. Was successful about 90% of the time on the first shot. I was able to range out to 1157yds repeatedly. Items of note: 1) Angle of the sun made a difference. As the sun moved certain spots became more reliable to range or less reliable depending on I have no idea what. I was stationary for an almost 2 hours (not on the hike [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) and trended the trend. 2) It was really amazing to have it clearly revealed that the tree or rock or bush that was about 100yds behind a closer tree was actually at as much as 900 yards behind the tree. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] 3) Angle compensation would be a GOOD thing. Conclusion: renewed faith in the Leica. Love the optics and the diopter adjustment. Rifles should be arriving shortly so I'll shutup about LRFs and try to bring 'the system' together and get some meat on the table. [/QUOTE]
