[QUOTE="fisher2072, post: 369763, member: 23200"] Ok guys, I got this thing in and i'm ready to test it out. I managed to range a few things this evening with it. The longest was a water tower at about 1100yds, the sun was out and I only got to play with it for about 20 minutes. I only have have a bushnell legend to compare it to, and it beats it hands down. But, it should be in a higher class than that! I live in Missouri, and finding something to range at around here is tricky. It is totally flat land with trees all over. If anyone has a scientific aproach to testing a range finder, let me know! I want to put this thing through the ringer and let you know the details. My first opinion is this: This is not a rangefinder you would want to go into the field with, without prior practice with. It has a lot of options that take time to learn. You can get lost in the options if you dont know how to navigate them. I spent about 30 minutes on the menus, and pretty much have it figured out. I do like the ability to show line of site distance, angle in degrees to target. This is more beneficial than to me than a generic TBR or ARC as some companies would derive as a "fix for all shots". You can also use the HD "Horizontal Distance" to figure true hrizontal distance to target. This is much like the TBR and ARC funtions of other rangefinders.
