[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 260662, member: 2736"] I have had similar problems and finally figured out that the range finders are not allways sighted in perfect. So when I get a new one I allways check it out by hanging a metai disc about 3" in dia. from a tree with nothing but sky in the background so it will be the only target that the range finder will pick up and back up as far as possible. The first time I had the same problem and could'nt figure it out I tryed the zero out on the tail of a windmill and at 300yrds it was off by about 10". Most rangefinders are close but you would be amazed at how far some are off. Just like a bad zero a few inches at 100yrds could make a big difference at 500 yrds. Once you know exactly how far off your crosshairs are it's easy to hold a little off to get the best reflection off the varmint. Just something to try. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
