judging range

[denton]

My son-in-law and I just spent an hour out with the rangefinder, playing how far to that rock? how far to that tree?

We tried three different locations, where there were no houses, or cars for reference, mostly across rivers or ravines.

First, we're still not really good at it, but the encouraging news is that in just an hour, we reduced our error quite a bit. I think that 3-4 more sessions, and I'll have it down well enough for hunting purposes.

I am amazed at how far off I was, especially at first.

BTW, I've heard good things about the Nikon 600 rangefinder.
