1. Range finders are handy tools for golfing or hunting. They improve accuracy by measuring the distance between an observer and a target.
2. Range finders are available in binocular and monocular models.
They also boast a wide range of features, from built-in compasses to
slope compensation to reticle selection.
3. Some range finder models are designed for hunting, and feature optimum depth perception and rugged waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof construction. Some even have camouflaged exteriors.
4. A larger objective lens does mean a heavier range finder. A
larger lens is preferable for hunting in low light or inclement
weather, however, as it means more light allowance and a brighter image.
5. Laser range finders
work by shooting out a laser beam at an intended target and registering
the time it takes for the beam to refract back. It uses that time to
calculate the distance to the target.
6. Many factors determine the accuracy of a rangefinder, such as
target size, weather, surface angle, lighting, and hand steadiness. It
will take time and practice to get the most out of your device.
