Rangefinder Facts
1. Rangefinders are great tools for hunting or golfing. They allow for an accurate measurement of the distance between an observer and a target, and make getting the perfect shot much easier.
2. Hunting rangefinders generally have sturdy construction and a no-slip grip. Some hunting rangefinders are waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, making them useful even in inclement weather.
3. Rangefinders are available with a wide variety of features, such as a built-in compass, which is great for hunting, or slope compensation, which can be really useful on the golf course.
4. As with binoculars, a larger objective lens on your rangefinder means more light allowance and a brighter, clearer image. This is excellent for hunting in low light, but not ideal for golfing in broad daylight.
5. Laser rangefinders typically work by calculating the time it takes an expelled laser beam to refract back from a target to its source. The rangefinder uses that number to instantly calculate the target's distance.
6. Weather, surface slope, lighting, and the size of your target are all factors in determining distance with a rangefinder. A good rangefinder will have features that can minimize these potential problems.
