TecTecTec ProWild S Hunting Rangefinder with Angle Compensation Laser Range Finder for Hunting with Range Scan, Speed Mode, CR2 Battery, and Normal Measurements

After a lot of testing and comparing with other range finders, as well as ranging targets on practice ranges at two archery facilities, I've come to the conclusion that the unit I got has a 2 yard error at mid-range. distances between ranges br>br>Readings are accurate up to 20 yards. Between 20 and 30 yards, my unit reads 1 yard short. Between 30 and 100 yards, my unit reads 2 yards short. br>Beyond 100 yards, it's unclear, but it appears to be 1-yard short. 2 yards too short. br>br>Attachment compensation: The compensated distance isn't particularly beneficial. On a 3D archery course, if you're trying to make a steep 30 yard shot, the unit may tell you to set for 29 yards. However, it appears that the 1 yard cut is recommended at a too low angle. To put it another way, the unit instructs you to set your sight for 29 yards when, in reality, you should aim for 30 yards. As a result, if you stick to the angle compensated range displayed by the unit, your arrow will usually fall short. The angle reading, on the other hand, is useful - You can use it to perform your own quick calculations and obtain more accurate results. br>br>This range finder may be more useful for long-range firearms where bullet drop per yard is much less than arrow drop per yard, as well as golf and other situations where less precision is acceptable. br>br>Optics: You can adjust the diopter and focus, but you won't be able to focus on both the target and the LED display at the same time - one will be slightly blurry. You can choose between the two, or opt for a setting that blurs both slightly. Also, it does not always turn on. br>br> The battery must be removed and replaced on a regular basis. Something isn't properly connected, and/or the buttons are flimsy and untrustworthy. br>br>Had I been able to spot these flaws sooner, I would have returned the unit as "defective," as it is completely unsuitable for archery, which is one of the most popular uses for range finders with angle compensation.

UPDATE: br>After reading the review below, Customer Service replaced my first unit, and the second one appears to work out to 300 yards in good lighting. br>I am now satisfied with the product, but I am disappointed that the first one was defective. br>Overall, excellent customer service and a good product. br>Jbr>Original Post:br>I was impressed with this device at the shooting range, but less so in the field. Under 100 yards, the ProWildS is fantastic, especially for the price. I used it to bowhunt elk in the field, and it worked perfectly in the 40-degree weather. The range is 60 yards. My problem is that the advertised 500 yards is impossible to achieve. I tried it out on an Oryx hunt in New Mexico, but I couldn't get it to shoot accurately beyond 100 yards. I tried every method I could think of, including point, continuous, and tripod scanning. In the field, even highly reflective targets were inaccurate past 150 yards. br>The maximum range that can be used is approximately 120 yards. This needs to be expressed more clearly. br>Excellent up to 100 yards, then useless. br>Customer service is excellent; a replacement is being processed right now. More information will be provided once I have had the opportunity to test the next rangefinder.

Based on the reviews, this one appeared to be a good fit. Lightweight, compact, and straightforward instructions for getting started, but the black print onscreen in low light is a drawback. I won't be able to read until the sun comes out. It may not be your first choice if you're shooting in a densely wooded area where the light fades quickly after shooting time. It strains my 65-year-old eyes to read the fine (dark) print.

I was in the market for a range finder and was put off by the price of the Leupold level range finders. Instead, I chose to try this one because it was less expensive. It was simple to set up right out of the box. I started going after every bush and mailbox in my neighborhood, and I already know it's going to work. Spend the extra money if you want, but if you don't want to overspend or overthink something, I recommend this one.

I spent a long time looking into range finders because I recently built my own shooting range that allows me to shoot my rifles from 120 yards and needed to know the exact yardage for both pistol and rifle shooting. This is what I used as a range finder. I'm a stickler for accuracy, so when I first got this range finder, I double-checked everything with my 100' measuring tape. I was pleased to discover that the Pro Wild S gave me the exact same yardage as my tape measurer after checking three different yardages. This device is also very simple to operate! The Pro Wild S is without a doubt my favorite!.

On a recent elk hunt in the New Mexico mountains, I used this rangefinder. It did exactly what I needed it to do, especially since I rarely shoot beyond 350 yards. The following is my personal experience: Advantages: br>br> br>It's simple to use; br>Easy to replace batteriesbr>Seemed to be consistent and accurate at a distance. When I tried to range things out to 400 yards or more, it seemed to struggle a bit. But that was usually when I was just messing around with the rangefinder to see how far something was, rather than when I was trying to figure out a shot distance. This is something I would buy or give as a gift again.

I've been doing range readings for about 2 months now, and I've done about 200 so far. I believe that people should shop around the optics industry to see what best suits their needs and budget - I bought my Wild Pro S solely to improve my ability to judge distances with my eyes closed. br>br>However, this item does exactly what it says - it works. Though I recommend using combat breathing to keep the reticle steady, as this product struggles when branches/etc. obstruct the laser. The buttons are made of hard plastic and provide a 'hard' click; the carrying case is a little bulky due to padding and has tight tolerances when filled. I've only gotten readings out to about 450 yards, but I'm sure it can go a little further.
