[QUOTE="MachV, post: 555716, member: 93"] Back before we had geovids /1200 and 1600 the Wild had to be calibrated useing the lath board but I never did figure out how to use it though? What I did was set the range dial to infinity and range the moon or with the dark lens in the sun. Then turned the calibration dial till they lined up. A quick double check on a section fence woulf confirm that is was reading 1605 meters or 1760 yards. Where the Wild really shines for me is in a large flat dogtown. Its hard to lazer individual dogs but the Wild doubles as a spotter and does a good job of rangeing indifidual dogs. My Geovids will usually get me out to 1100-1200 yards and my shooting partners 1600 will do better than that......to 1700 on most good targets. Have found the Wild to be usefull in geting in the ballpark but would not put $$ on a first round hit useing the Wild past 1500 yards. Great glass and fun to use but I'd own a Vector if I could!
