Lord Geordie Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 They are no good, unless you get someone to stand alongside your intended target holding a Cup Flag :lol: These work by measuring the height on the flag on the green! The flag poles are a fixed height. You need a LASER range finder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightshooter1 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 hold on thats not quite right sorry Martin lol just found this, it explains how this range finder works as it says you input the size of the object and it mathamatically works out the size as the guy says in the video not good for hunting as it is a bit slow but I would have thought it would be ok for setting up a target for zeroing which is what i would use it for anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I mean is you need to know the exact height of your target! To be fair IF you KNOW the height of your target then fair enough, but each bunny and each deer are different and will give you a false range! You would be better off getting familiar with your permission and distances between way points! Lije I say there are laser ones cheap on the bay too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly47 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I recently got a hawke lrf600 for my birthday, I wanted it to see what the fuss was about with them having used it for 2 months my rabbit kills have increased dramatically, just a quick laze when a shot appears and I then know straight away what my holdover needs to be cant praise them enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katash Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) If you don't intend on going down the laser route you'd be better off using this free app Edited July 6, 2013 by Katash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
