getting the most out of your Bushnell 800\'s
This is probably old hat to most of you but I discovered this trick by accident one day.
When checking actual trajectories one day I noticed that if I did'nt have a good target I could not get a good reading past about 600 yds with my bushnell 800. One day I noticed the 3" reflectors made for putting up in your driveway so you can see where to turn in the dark and wondered how they might work as a rangefinder reflector, at a 1.49 at the local Walmart, I would not be out much if it did not work.
They work like a champ!!! Just stick them in the dirt by your target and you can get instant readings to 999 yards or meters. This still will not help the fact that they leave a little to be desired while ranging game or using in the field but for knowing the distance to your target while practiceing it will increase the use of these lower priced rangefinders.
I hope to get a set of the russian rangefinders one day but untill then I have to look for shortcuts with what I have. 308
