[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1508249, member: 8873"] I had a range confirmation issue happen to me a few weeks ago on an elk hunt, while using a more than capable LRF. Had someone spotting for me that is not exactly experienced. He gave me a range while I was setting the rifle up on a small group of elk. They had moved up hill a little by the time I got on them, so I said to give me a range and he called out the same range. I was a bit skeptical but he had the rangefinder, I shot and hit under my intended target and they ran back down into the abyss of dark timber. I grabbed the rangefinder and they had moved from 925 to almost 1000. The illusion of them moving up hill made it look like they had only moved in altitude. He felt like crap but it was my fault, I pulled the trigger. [/QUOTE]
