Surface texture, color, size, and shape of the target all affect
reflectivity, which in turn affects the maximum range of the
rangefinder. As a rule of thumb, brightly colored targets are
much more reflective than darker targets, with black being
the least reflective color. A shiny surface is more reflective
than a dull surface. Smaller targets are more difficult to range
than larger targets. Light conditions, haze, fog, rain, and other
environmental conditions can all affect ranging performance.
Any factor which degrades air clarity will reduce the maximum
effective range. Bright light shining directly on the lenses
reduces the effectiveness, producing shorter maximum ranges
than those possible on darker (overcast) days. The steadier the
GX unit is held, the greater the maximum distance.
SAFETY AND OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
The Leupold GX rangefinders employ an eye safe laser in
their operation. Even so, there are a few precautions that are
important to remember:
• Do not depress the POWER button while aiming at a human
eye or while looking into the optics from the objective side.
• Do not leave the GX within the reach of small children.
