From the manufacturer
Ranger Rangefinders give hunters and shooters distance data needed to make accurate shots. Easy to use with a clean display and highly intuitive menu, the Rangers keep things simple, yet provide a high level of performance. Primary HCD (Horizontal Component Distance) mode displays an angle-compensated distance reading. Three reticle brightness settings match ambient light conditions. Scan Mode gives range readings as you pan across the landscape or track a moving animal. Adjustable, utility clip secures the unit to a belt, pocket, pack, or other flat-edged surface. Fully multi-coated lenses deliver optimal light transmission. O-ring sealed for waterproof performance. Ideal for gun hunters, target shooters and bowhunters, Ranger rangefinders put the odds of accurate down-range impacts in your favor.
Modes
|
|
|
---|---|---|
HCD (Horizontal Component Distance)HCD range display is intended to be the primary mode. The yardage number displayed is the critical horizontal component distance is corrected for shot angle and needs no extra user input. Use the HCD range mode in the following situations: •Rifle shooting on level ground at any range. •Rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards with moderate slopes (15 to 30 degrees) or out to ranges of 800 yards with mild slopes (less than 15 degrees). •For all archery shooting. Shooters simply use the appropriate level ground bullet drop and wind adjustment for the range displayed and shoot. Archers use the appropriate level ground sight pin for the range displayed and shoot. |
LOS (Line of Sight)LOS mode is intended for rifle shooters who are using slope correcting ballistic drop data cards, ballistic apps, or PDAs with ballistic programs and are shooting at distances beyond 500 yards and slopes greater than 15 degrees. Most shooters and archers will not need the LOS mode. The range number displayed in LOS mode is the actual line of sight range with no ballistic correction for slope. Most of the commonly used ballistic devices can provide independent slope correction for bullet drop data and require actual line of sight range input. Using the LOS range when calculating bullet wind drifts under these steep slope/long range conditions will provide a higher degree of accuracy than using the HCD range. To use, simply input the LOS range number into the device or use the LOS range when referencing ballistic drop cards with slope correction. |
Scan FeatureThe Scan feature can be used to range moving targets or help range smaller targets on uniform backgrounds in either HCD or LOS modes. Once powered up, press and hold the Measure button and scan laser back and forth, watching for changes in the yardage number as crosshairs move across the target object. A blinking 'S' display indicates Scan Ranging is activated. |

If you need a great quality rangefinder then buy this one, it is light, simple to use, give you the true horizonal distance while elevated and the display is second to none.
Two noteworthy items:
► It only displays range in 1 yard increments (no tenths), but for ballistics one-half yard is "in the noise" anyway.
► It does NOT display the incline angle in HCD (aka TBR) mode -- incline is only provided in the LOS mode. I think this is good supplemental data, and since the algorithm has to know it to calculate TBR, it would be nice if it displayed it; especially since the accuracy of the TBR is limited to a given incline depending on range to target.
I have ranged trees, bushes, rocks, cars, and buildings and it has worked perfectly every time. The only thing that I was not able to range was a body of water. I did not expect it to be able to perform this action because the water is obviously a horizontal surface, but I tried anyway.
The display is very easy to interpret and the modes are very helpful when ranging with incline or line of sight.
In my opinion, the two best features of this rangefinder are the compact size and the unbeatable warranty. This unit is much smaller than other units I have used in the past and is a great improvement when carrying a lot of gear. I hope I never need to use the warranty, but it is nice to know it is there.
I waited to review this as I put it through the ringer this season. I'm VERY happy with this purchase. Super simple, one hand operation allows you you to quickly and accurately range your targets. Bright red readout works great in the low light environment, allowing you to range multiple objects before the sun comes up so you can be ready! Had some heavy fog on one of my hunts this year and I was impressed with the accuracy of the unit given that fog can be really difficult on rangefinders. Both of the hunters I was with couldn't get accurate readings using a different brand, and one of them actually borrowed my Ranger for a day and a half so he could hunt with confidence!
I like the case that it comes with, I use the belt loop to secure the case to my bino harness. The Ranger easily slips in and out of the case (I removed the metal clip and attached a retractable tether instead) and I always know where it is.
My only complaint would be the startup. I know the 1500 is supposed to be a '2-click' upgrade from the '3-click' 1000, but I still have to hit the range button rapidly 3 times to get my first reading. OR click once, wait, click twice and sometimes it will range. This is minor as most of the time I'll just keep clicking anyways until I get a reading, but just my $.02.
Another upgrade could be a lockout feature; one that would allow the user to shut the unit off, say 5 quick clicks, when not in-use. Then 5 quick clicks unlocks it for use, saving the battery. I did have a dead battery that I attribute to having a button pressed when my gear was stashed. I have the lockout feature on my headlamps and I use it all the time, could be a minor improvement!
Overall I highly recommend purchasing this Ranger if you are on the fence. Good luck and shoot true!
