Help with rangfinders....
I' ve been looking at the lower end laser rangefinders ($200).....and I' ve noticed some say they have scan mode......but none of them explain what that means. What is scan mode? And what does it do for you?
Thanks
Thanks

I' ve been doing a little research myself. If I understand correctly, scan mode enables you to keep the button depressed on a moving target and get a continious reading on the distance, whether it move' s further away or closer.

RE: Help with rangfinders....
My Bushnell Legend has the scan mode. When there is some brush or limbs between me and the animal I push the scan mode keeping the cross hairs on the animal. I watch the distance changing and I may only get 1 or 2 longer distance, as long a I feel I kept the cross hair on the animal or 3D I will shoot that distance. It works for me.
