[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1125210, member: 10291"] UPDATE: Just returned from a Wyoming antelope hunt and had the opportunity to give the improved G7 an intense workout on a wide variety of ranging scenarios. Ended up taking two bucks and two does at ranges of 656,658, 788, and 1181 yards(my furthest big game kill to date). Overall, the new G7 in an actual hunting environment did indicate improved ranging with accurate ballistic drop data beyond 1000 yards. My furthest goat at 1181, in heavy sage, and given a steady hold I found it quite easy to get multiple readings of identical range giving me the confidence to make a successful shot. The "Trutargeting" capability came into it's own under these difficult ranging conditions and after my first day of hunting, decided that I no longer needed my Terrapin/Kestra/Shooter combo as back up for shots over 1000 yards. There are a couple of additional benefits of the improved G7. One seems to be battery life. I'm still on the same battery the unit came with. In prior years my older unit would have definitely required at least one battery change. Another is the easier ability to change the light intensity of the ranging reticle by simply hitting the down button. Finally the new case is very convenient and the retractable teather seems to aid steadiness for off hand ranging. The new G7 is a keeper!!! Can't wait to get on those big Alberta whitetails and mule deer in a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
