[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1506735, member: 30902"] There are three real common problems when it comes to getting accurate ranges. Getting steady on your target. In flat terrain bouncing around just a little can add up to big errors. Interference. Fences, terrain, brush, Trees, anything that breaks the beam between you and the target can give you a false reading. Not enough of the animal visible. It sounds like your big issue here was just that you didn't have enough of the animal visible above the cover/terrain to get an accurate reading. When I am ranging I try hard when time allows to get at least three different readings on the target and double check them against other targets at approximately the same range such as trees and highline poles or highly visible rocks. If you can't get a good, steady reading that is pretty consistent you have to either attempt to move to a better location, get a steadier hold on the unit, or both. [/QUOTE]
