    Sworvski EL Rangefinder Bino

    Ok can you guys that have these tell me what sort of distance can you range. And when they say reflective objects should you be able to get a reading off Papa slips like in the photo.
    I'm having trouble getting readings out past 600yards.

    Cool and clear early morning / late evening up the 1500m easy
    Never less the 800m in blistering hot conditions if there is a good target
    Have measured 2000m in exceptionally good conditions

    Best reflective surfaces are shiny leaved vegetation
    Maybe the papa is not so good ! Sheet rock is usially ok though

    As above , should regularly range 1km+ . Problem usually is unreflective target, wrong mode or shaky hands. Try with a solid rest like a tripod

    May be worth trying a fresh battery also.

    as long as the laser bounces back from the deer on the papa, that is all that matters ;-)

    Concentrating on keeping them still makes a big difference.

    Rifle works well too - resting on the recoil pad
    Longs as you don't fire it before you clear the dirt out of muzzle
