    Sorry mate, been a bit busy...

    So far I have managed a quick look in the middle of the day (in bright sunshine yesterday) and got consistent ranges on a tree at 1,477m, it was the furtherest thing I could see to range from the office however. Yesterday evening and this evening I was able to get ranges out to 2,000m easily, and I was impressed by the speed of the ranging, basically instant. The Swarovski SLC's I have (borrowed 10x42's) are slightly brighter at last light, but bugger all in practical terms. Otherwise the glass is very nice in these. The geovids are more comfortable to hold though (even though they are heavier) with the curved barrels resting nicely into the palms of your hands on a natural angle.

    I haven't had a chance to load up my ballistic data onto a micro sd card to see how it goes, maybe tomorrow...

    2000m is a decent distance! Thanks for the updates thus far chaps. Keen to hear your thoughts on the ballistic data feature Sam. Nice to see the are finally starting to turn up. Looks like fairy tails can come true after all!
