Title: Question for those using SIG KILO Rangefinders
Post by: HighCountryHunter88 on January 02, 2018, 11:10:51 AM: for those of you using the kilo range finders, are they able to go low yardage for archery hunting as well? i lost my bushnell g force that did both long range and short yardage for archery hunting. i have been looking at the kilo 1250yd since they seem to have good reviews but i would like one that is capable of doing both. or should is just get another bushnell?

I was going to say I've seen 8 yards from mine. Can't recall for sure.

Here is a link to Midway and a sale they have. Turn around and sell the scope.

Holy crap, that's a smoking deal.

Post by: b23 on January 02, 2018, 12:32:45 PM: I have my Sig KILO 2200 sitting right next to me and messing with it the closest I can get it to read is 5.3yds.

GOOD GRAVY!!! wish I'd seen that before I placed my order 15 minutes ago! (not that I would have bought it, but a guy can DREAM!!!)

same here :tup:
used it at the archery range and while out archery hunting, ranged accurately for long range stuff as well.
i was surprised how compact the thing was when i got it too, much slimmer in profile than my old redfield

Post by: Wetwoodshunter on January 19, 2018, 09:44:07 AM: I have the kilo 2000, I got it for archery hunting and it worked great. Ranges anything that you want but in the brush the beam seems wide so sometimes its hard to range through windows or if there is tall grass.

The main issue that I had with this unit was in snow. I hunted Montana rifle season this year and at 0 degrees it froze and I couldn't get it to range anything. I combatted this by keeping it inside my shirt.

Post by: Bob33 on January 21, 2018, 05:33:44 PM: My 2000 reads down to 4.9 yards consistently.

Post by: lamrith on January 22, 2018, 11:21:33 AM: One more +1, the Kilo2k gets it done. I have used mine from 6yrs to 1380yrds. The latter by hand in the snow, so the units have the speed and power to get it done even in less than optimal conditions.

Post by: steeleywhopper on January 25, 2018, 04:08:06 PM: Does it do the angle compensation for shooting up or down hill?
Title: Re: Question for those using SIG KILO Rangefinders
Post by: jaymark6655 on January 26, 2018, 12:13:17 PM: Yes, but on long range stuff I would use the linear range and angle display mod to plug those into a computer. For bow, it does that shoots like mode out to whatever distance you can manage to range.

Post by: Wild Bill on February 15, 2018, 07:48:42 PM: I've got the 2400.... 4-2400 yards no issues. 2400 needs to be good conditions though. less than 2000 no issues of any kind other than hand shake...

And lets be honest... who ranges inside 15 yards :chuckle:
