Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do rangefinders work? A: Rangefinders emit invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses that are reflected off a selected target back on to its receiving optics. Sophisticated circuitry and a high speed clock are used to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back. Q: How accurate are the rangefinders.co.uk rangefinders? A: Both the Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 and the Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan are accurate to +/-1metre. Q: What are the maximum ranges of the rangefinders.co.uk rangefinders? A: We have found for both the Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 and the Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan the maximum effective range to large objects like trees or buildings in ideal conditions (overcast or dawn/dusk) is about 1,300 m, reducing to about 750 m in bright sunlight. Q: How big are the rangefinders in real terms? A: The Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 is the size of a small to medium sized pair of binoculars and fits easily in a jacket pocket. The Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan is smaller and is around the size of two cigarette packets. Q: Are the rangefinders easy to use? A: Yes. You use them as you would a normal pair of binoculars. Simply sight the cross-hairs on the object you want to find the range, press the fire button and the distance will be displayed almost instantly. Q: What is the difference between the Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 and the Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan? A: Both models offer quick and accurate rangefinding. The Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 is slightly larger than the Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan and has more special features. The Leica Rangemaster 1200 scan offers slightly better optics in a lighter and smaller body but with fewer special features. Q: What do the Scan, Zip, Rain and Reflective modes do on the Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000? A: Scan: The Scan mode allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. Rain: Rain mode compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow. Zip: Zip mode allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 130 metres) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches. Reflector: Reflector mode increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects.
