Other than that i love it I have been able to rang stumps out to about 850 yards, but on average between 6 and 7 hundred is most common(stumps,animals). This does not bother me because I am mostly a bow hunter.

I like it. he is coming back from deployment in a couple weeks. hopefully he forgets about it :rolleyes:
