[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 821737, member: 9253"] A way you can test the beam position shape, and orientation is to aim at a reflective road sign at a long distance (1500 yards ? ) and see where in the area of the reticle area you can and can't get a reading. The aiming square is about 10 arcminutes (10 moa). (on my CRF 1600, not a B model) The beam shape is roughly elliptical and is speced at 0.5 x 2.5 milliradians (mils) which is 1.7 x 8.6 moa. At long range the beam should be centered in the square. The laser is mounted 1-3/4" below the telescope so it will appear that low on the target. That shouldn't matter at over 100 yards. I don't attempt to measure the distance to animals directly at long range. The hair on most animals is a poor reflector in the 800-1000 nm wavelength range. When possible I'll measure to a nearby tree, bush, or rock if I can determine that it's at the same distance as the animal. [/QUOTE]
