Impact 1000 Laser Rangefinder (LRF101)

When all you need is an intuitive platform with angle compensation–we're looking at you, bowhunters and range-day lovers–the Impact 1000 is all the rangefinder you need and then some. If things get up close and personal, range targets down to five yards out, with the ability to stretch out to 1,000 yards if need be. Lightweight and simple to operate, the Impact 1000 gets you on target fast meaning you can no longer justify going into the field without a laser rangefinder.

HCD (Horizontal Component Distance) Mode

The Impact 1000’s HCD range display is intended to be the primary mode—used for most rifle and archery shooting conditions. The yardage number displayed is the critical horizontal component distance.

Use the HCD range mode in the following situations:

• Rifle shooting on level ground at any range.

• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 800 yards with mild slopes (less than 15 degrees).

• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards with moderate slopes (15 to 30 degrees).

• For all archery shooting.

The displayed HCD yardage number is corrected for shot angle and needs no extra user input; 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) Mode

The Impact 1000’s LOS (Line of Sight) mode is intended for rifle shooters who are using slope correcting ballistic drop data cards, ballistic cell phone applications, or other ballistic programs and who are shooting at distances beyond 500 yards and with 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 electronic device or use the LOS range when referencing ballistic drop cards with slope correction.

Scan Feature

The 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 the laser back and forth, watching for changes in the yardage number as the crosshairs move across the target object. A blinking 'S' display indicates Scan Ranging is activated.

• The Ranger 1800 rangefinder is easy to use and features a clean, illuminated display and highly intuitive menu. The Ranger 1800 is capable of ranging up to 1,800 yards.
• The primary HCD mode displays an angle compensated distance that is ideal for the majority of hunters and shooters. An advanced LOS mode provides you the option to calculate long distance, high angle shots with increased precision.
• A scan feature gives continuous range readings as you pan across a landscape or track a moving target. Three brightness settings allow the display to stay visible in various light conditions.
• Fully multi-coated lenses deliver optimal light transmission. Textured rubber armor provides a secure, non-slip grip. Water and fogproof performance keep the system operating in the harshest conditions.
• The included neck lanyard and removable utility clip make the Ranger easy to pack and keep handy. Compatible with a tripod adapter, allowing use on a tripod or car window mount.

Razor HD 4000 Laser Rangefinder (LRF-250)

When “as far as the eye can see” isn’t good enough, you need the Razor HD 4000. The definition of what a high-end, long-range laser rangefinder should be, the Razor HD 4000 delivers cutting-edge ptical and ranging performance, giving hunters and shooters the data needed to execute even the most demanding shots. This extremely effective, angle-compensated rangefinder features four targeting modes and two ranging modes to cover any environment. Impressive 4,000 yard reflective ranging capability (ELR mode) reaches way out for extreme precision. A utility clip keeps these compact units close at hand, and each model is easily mounted to any 1/4-20 tripod plate when you need a rock-steady base.

Normal Mode

Your Razor HD 4000 comes preset to normal target mode. This is the standard mode providing the range of the target with the strongest range result. Normal Mode is the recommended target mode for most situations.

First Mode

Locks in and displays the closest distance when panning and scanning. This mode is ideal for ranging a smaller target in front of other larger or more reflective objects.

Note: If unsure about the range, simply release the measure button and range again.

Last Mode

Locks in and displays the farthest distance when panning and scanning. This mode is ideal for ranging a specific target behind a group of objects like brush, trees, rocks, etc.

Note: If unsure about the range, simply release the measure button and range again.

Extended Laser Range Mode

The ELR target mode allows for ranging smaller, less reflective targets at extended distances. It is ideal for ranging when Normal Mode is unable to obtain a desired range. A longer response time may be required to build the desired range. For best results, it is recommended to be used on a tripod.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these an improvement in glass and coatings over the gen 1 model? Or strictly in ranging capability
Answer:	They are just an improvement in the range capabilities.
Question:	Does it come with the Binopack like it says in the video? Because other answers are saying harness and I take that as a neck strap
Answer:	It has a neck strap and harness
Question:	Hows the razor hd 4000 compare? Its alot more affordable
Answer:	Actually the the Razor HD 4000 does have magnification (7x25), and is not solely a rangefinder like TexasDean stated. That said, a 7x25 "monocular" (Razor) vs a 10x42 "binocular" (Fury) really is no comparison view wise, especially in lower light settings. Also the number on the model indicates the max range capability, so the Fury HD 5000 can continue to measure up to 1000 yards beyond the Razor HD 4000's ability.
Question:	Is this made in China
Answer:	I think so
