It’s a bit of a faff trying to hold the rifle still on the target and press the buttons.

Now I’m wondering if the scope is taking the angle of the shot into account. If I’m shooting uphill, is that factored into the calculation?

The lock on the ballistics reticle is a useful feature especially if shooting in flat terrain. Imagine ranging a rabbit at 100m, then placing the ballistic point on the rabbit. The rangefinder is now looking at a spot 300m past the rabbit as youve raised the point of impact and it realigns the ballistic point. Locking it fixes the ballistic point while you take the shot.

The red laser pointer comes on if you hold the menu button for more than 3 seconds. same to turn it off. Laser is a useful feature for pointing out animals that a hunting partner using night vision might not be able to see. You ac also adjust the laser zero with the small allen key provided.

You can adjust reticle data at any time. You can also reset everything back to factory settings.

If you adjust the zero in the reticle data, it automatically creates a new reticle data copied from the original one.
