[QUOTE="Jordan Smith, post: 657778, member: 44423"] I totally concur. I was simply pointing out that a guy can have good success at long range with the Bushnell, despite the 2x4 mrad beam divergence. Is it the best range finder out there? No. If I had several thousand to spend on a RF, I'd be on the phone right now to get a Vectronix on the way. But is the Bushnell as good as the better consumer-grade RF's on the market? I believe so. I hope we don't throw the baby out with the wash, just because the beam is a little bigger than we'd like ;) The target and bush modes, offering the ability to display the range to the closest or farthest target acquired within the beam, are helpful if we're worried about a depth of perception error. A lateral error (ranging a tree 10 feet to the right of the deer) is unavoidable, unfortunately. Having said that, my particular unit performs well beyond what the specifications published by Bushnell say it should. I don't know if all of them work this well, but mine sure does. [/QUOTE]
