If on flat land, you were almost 60 feet up in a tree???? If you were hunting 25' feet up a tree your true distance would have been 40.14 yards unless, of course, you were hunting on the side of a hill.

There is no denying that the system works, but it is not needed unless hunting from extreme elevations or hilly/mountainous terrain.
No ****, that was my point. Maybe reread my post.
