Overview
A hunter checking distance to a tree or a ridge gets a monocular that reads out to a long range. Anti-reflection multi-coated lenses and a turn-and-slide eyecup are listed, and a battery comes with it.
Target mode switching is the reason to look at it, since brush often returns the wrong distance without it. The limitation is that the listing contradicts itself on weather resistance.
Who it's for
Hunters ranging through trees, and hikers checking landmarks, get a compact unit that fits a pocket. Archers wanting angle compensation should look at a bow-specific model.
Pros and cons
- Fits in a pocket
- Two target modes for brush
- Five year warranty
- Weather rating is inconsistent
- No angle readout listed
Performance notes
First Target mode reports the nearest object the laser hits, while Distant Target mode skips past brush to the far one. A continuous scan lets you sweep across several targets without pressing again.
