Rangefinding Tips
Rangefinders work by emitting a brief pulse of light
aimed at a target object. Distance is determined by the
amount of time taken for the light to emit and return to
the laser’s internal receiver. A laser’s ability to read range
can be affected by many things, mostly relating to the
target object.
• Light colors will usually reflect better than dark ones.
• Snow, rain, fog, and air quality will have adverse effects
on ranging ability.
• Dull or textured surfaces will not reflect as well as a
hard, shiny surface.
• Ranging under cloud cover can improve laser
performance compared to bright, sunny conditions.
• Solid objects, such as rocks, will reflect better
than bushes.
• Flat surfaces perpendicular to the laser will reflect
better than curved surfaces or surfaces angled in
relation to the laser.
• Ranging over water can sometimes cause false
reflections and readings.
• At longer distances, larger objects will be easier to range
than smaller objects.
• Using a tripod to steady the Diamondback

will greatly increase your ability to range small targets
at longer distances.
• If you have difficulty ranging an animal or object, try
ranging a different nearby object, or use the Scan
feature to pan back and forth while watching for
changes in range.
