Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

The Impact 1000 has an easy-to-use platform with angle compensation, making it ideal for bowhunters and range-day enthusiasts alike. Targets can be ranged as close as five yards away, with the ability to extend out to 1,000 yards if necessary.

The main HCD mode shows an angle compensated distance, which is ideal for most hunters and shooters. A more advanced LOS mode allows for more precise calculations of long-distance, high-angle shots.

A scan feature allows you to pan across a landscape or track a moving target while getting continuous range readings. All modes have the option of reading in yards or meters.

The diopter on the eyepiece compensates for variations in the user's vision. The addition of 6x magnification allows for a closer examination of targets and more precise ranging.

Light transmission in low-light environments is improved by fully multi-coated optics. No matter what the weather throws at you, your waterproof and shockproof performance will keep you on the hunt.

Questions & Answers

What country does it come from?

I'm not sure, but Optic Vortex is based in Wisconsin, and I'm fairly certain it was designed by engineers in the United States.

Is there a VIP warranty on this item?

This is true of all Vortex products.

two concerns: What does it have in common with a less expensive Sig Kilo? Has anyone ever been able to get a precise distance in the 500-mile range? Is it possible to shoot from 800 yards?

I've measured distances in the 500-foot range that I believe are accurate. Depending on the light and the target, the range can be as long as 700 yards. Over 700, things start to get a little dicey.

Item that is a forgery! We spent nearly $200 on a phony! This was a rip-off of a well-known brand

3/5

Keep a safe distance.

It isn't going to range out as it claims! It is of a good size and is simple to operate

3/5

However, I was using it alongside a friend's halo 450, which he paid $100 for at Walmart, and it was ranging out to 300 and 400 yards, with the vortex failing to pick up that far. Despite the fact that it claims to be capable of reaching 400 yards with a non-reflective target!.

That's not so good

3/5

Vortex has generated some buzz due to its warranty program, but I'm not impressed with its performance. 1. br>br> Because the cross hairs were off center to the right, you had to tilt the camera to the left to get it to move straight up and down. Is this for real? 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br When I tried to calculate distances, the results were inconsistent. Not over long distances, like 30 yards, where the readings vary by a yard each time. Seriously? 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. It does not come with a case that adequately protects it. Really? 4. br>br> Claims to use angle compensation, but doesn't tell you what angles or distances it's changing, so you're just taking the rangefinder at face value all the time, which no one who cares about accuracy wants. br>br>The only real plus I can think of is that the construction appears to be weatherproof, and the warranty appears to be excellent. The rest of it is standard.

I wish I had purchased one earlier

5/5

This was purchased during the early and late deer seasons of last year. Day 1: I missed a deer twice, yes, the same deer twice! This was my first archery season. On the same day, I missed a second deer later that afternoon. UGH! As a result of my research, I discovered the Vortex. Other similar-priced models with comparable specs only had a one-year warranty, whereas this baby comes with a lifetime (almost) no-questions-asked warranty. There was also a discount. Just messing around with it, I was able to range a few high-voltage power towers at 458 yards (so staying steady is essential). In addition, the view is crystal clear. What a slam dunk! Angle range correction, or whatever it's called, is the default mode, and it appears to work quite well. The only drawback I've found is that it may or may not work in fog (depending on a variety of factors). The good news is that I did get a deer near the end of the season, but the wind (30-35 mph) made it difficult. It was nearly impossible to use due to the high winds (gusting to 50 mph) and driving rain/fog (almost horizontal). It's especially effective when the weather is nice. I'm also not sorry I purchased it.

I suppose it's fine, but I believe the ranging part of the device is accurate, but getting the cross hairs to pick up smaller to medium sized targets and objects is difficult, and reading the information it displays is even more difficult because it's written in black lettering

3/5

Black lettering appears to be a poor choice; orange would have been preferable, and perhaps more expensive range finders offer similar options. All of this to say, I'd advise you to look for something better, but I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I don't care for it, and I own nine Vortex Razor and Viper scopes

3/5

We were unable to obtain a yardage reading of more than 200 yards.

This is the best rangefinder I've ever used

5/5

This is the first rangefinder I've ever used that can actually range the distance it claims to be able to range. Others, such as those from Bushnell, Halo, and others, are frequently advertised as "1000 yards," but rarely achieve even half of that. I'm hitting things at 6 and 7 hundred yards with this, and I haven't even started my first season with it yet. I'm growing to believe in Vortex optics as I use them more.

I'm not optimistic about yardage accuracy

3/5

Let's start with the positive. Glass- This is fantastic. 4 times the strength - Love it. Size - Exceptional. br>Accuracy - If you're looking for something specific, this is the place to go. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ONE! br>I don't trust this rangefinder at all. You can read the same target multiple times and get different yardages each time, sometimes by as much as three yards! Targets or animals in shadow or low light are especially vulnerable. Hog? There's no way it'll be accurate, and when bowhunting, the difference between 31 and 33 or 35 is significant. (These readings came from the same animal. ) How do you know where to put your pin? br>I bought this to replace a Bushnell I'd had for a long time, but I'm still using the Bushnell.
