What's up with this thing?...........just saw Waddell do a commercial for it. Do you guys really see that much of a difference in your ranged yardage??
I must be doing something wrong or right because I shoot whatever yardage I range and have not had any problems with high or low hits.
I think he showed 32 or 34 and compensated down to 25........Wha??? Are they 30 feet up or something??
What gives?

Not at most of the yardages and angles I shoot. I could see if you're shooting down a hill or something but for normal situations I just range straight out and use that reading shooting at the respective angle downward. When I range both distances they're always within a yard or 2 or eachother anyway.

30' up and under the difference doesn't exceed 2 yards let alone 9 yards.

Try 60 feet up in that cherry picker.

Yeah Atlas I just seen something myself that the new range finders compensate for being up in a tree. I will do some searching and get back on this one.
I usually do the same if its 20 yards out I am aiming right on or if anything maybe a tad lower not to often. Heck even with 30 yards.
