Footu Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Posted from china, has anyone had one and did it work? I really am in two minds over range finders, part of me doesn't want to carry the extra weight and thinks field craft and knowing your perm is the way. ......but the gadget boy inside me keeps telling me its nice to have one and I would know how far I have to walk to fetch the body back.

figgy Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 For a tenner try it and let the rest of us know. I'm usually quite good at estimating range but at distance when the pellet is dropping sharply it's no good being close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Enjoy the experience!! Makes those of us who spent £400+ on LRF's look stupid! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I got a second hand set of range finders for £35 and they go out to 400+ yards, plenty good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsanity Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Some of the cheap ones.are made for golfers and use the golf pole to calculate the distance, no golf pole then no worky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 What sort of performance would you expect from a £10 camera or a £5 electric drill ? I read some reviews on these and they weren't complimentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delwint Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Some of the cheap ones.are made for golfers and use the golf pole to calculate the distance, no golf pole then no worky Not so, point at the ground where you want your next shot placed and read the range. They aren't restricted to just reading the distance of the flagpole Edited March 13, 2017 by Delwint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69chris Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Some of the cheap ones.are made for golfers and use the golf pole to calculate the distance, no golf pole then no worky yup i had one of those, it estimated the distance on the average length of a golf 'hole' flag post, you could enter the height of a marker post (etc) at the range you were aiming for but if you knew that then i guess you'd had a pretty good idea of the range also pointless unless you need one for golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
