RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT Example #3 would certainly be a difference worth worring about, except for the fact that at such short range, there is no need for a range finder, just shoot the darn thing. **Hint** It will NOT be your top one;) |

Gotcha, that is why I ask here before I make any changes to my routine. Thanks for the help all.

Can you explain this GMMAT? Go to your target and shoot at it from 3yds. Tell me which pin you used and where you hit. If you use your 20yd pin (std configuration).....you'll hit(****! Sorry....LOW) The same principle would apply to a 3 yd shot from your treestand (nearly straight down). **Hint** Do it again....and use your 40 or 50 yd pin.;) |

ORIGINAL: GMMAT TG......You're adding a side to the "triangle" that doesn't exist.;)(vertical distance) If you were 66' up in the tree....your calcs would be correct (but still useless). Happy climbing! |

RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
I lied, I am still confused. By using the theorem I am getting a hunter height of 22.24 feet using the advertising image stating a difference of 9 yards. Their stats are as follows--the deer is 23 yards from the base of the stand but from where you are it sights as 32 yards, putting you (the hunter) at a little over 22 feet. Where am I messing up my math?

RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
22.24' = +/- SEVEN yds.
Do it again.;) |
RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
7x7+23x23=578...the sqrt of which = 24
|
RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
I did do it again and by the math the hunter is not "60" feet in the air to get a diff of 9 yards (he is only 22.2486 feet in the air.........................DOPE that is 22.2486 yards which is actually 66.7458 feet, sorry I was looking at the 22.2486 as feet not yards. My math was right but my mental conversion was not. In the immortal words of Mr. Simpson DOOOHHHHH.

RE: standard rangefinder vs. ones with angle compensation. Buy new one?
So essentially to get that 9 yards of difference they show in the advertisement the hunter needs to be 66.75 feet off of the ground, that is a little high for my stand:) |
