[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 386598, member: 9253"] I have not used the Trupulse 200 but I do have the older Laser Technology (LTI) Impulse 200 XL and LR range finders. Those use an external scope for aiming. The good points are it has very long range. I've measure trees up to 2400 yards and it's reliable off randomly selected rocks and trees to around a mile. It's the only range finder I've used which has a Weaver rail so I can snap on a night vision scope and make accurate distance measurements in low light. All range finders work in the dark, it's just that with most you can't tell where you're aiming and/or read the screen. The Impulse range finder's downsides are it's physically larger than than the Swarovski Guide or Leica 1200, more the size and weight of the older Leica Geovid binoculars. It also has a larger beam spread than the Leicas. I haven't measured it but I'd guess its around 10 MOA. The beam is square in cross section. Thats the sshape of the laser chip itself. It works at around 920 nanometers as do most of the commercial laser range finders. It's beam is visible with a Gen 2 or Gen 3 night vision scope so a night vision scope doesn't have to be re-zeroed to use them together. Again though, that's the older Impulse model, not the Truepulse. All I know about the Trupulse is from the LTI literature. I can say I've not had any problems with my Impulse units. The. The range finders are the same except the XR also measures inclination, does height calculations, and has a serial computer interface which the LR unit does not. They are designed for the construction and timber industries so neither do ballistic calculations. The inclination however is useful for shooting. The LTI's give much longer range measurements than my Leica 1200. Still, the Leica 1200 is the one I'm more likely to be carrying for most applications. I don't shoot at an animal if I don't think it will be a clean kill, and no commercial rangefinder I know of handles downrange wind deflection which is the primary source of long range shooting error once you know the distance.
