Q. What is the Archer Range
Rangefinder? A. The Archer Range Rangefinder is a combination
rangefinder/pull-up rope designed specifically for any bow hunter using
a tree stand. |
|
|
| |
Q. How does the Archer Range work?
A. It works using simple mathematics of a right triangle. If
you know the height up to the bow hunter and the angle out to a target
you can know the distance to the target. The Archer Range utilizes
a 33' + tape measure as a pull-up rope to measure the height. A
pendulum measures the angle while, simultaneously, displaying the
distance. |
|
|
| |
Q. Do you have to do any
calculations? A. No. Once the height is known (using
the pull-up rope/tape measure). It is as easy as aim, press a
button, and read the distance. Very simple. |
|
|
| |
Q. How do I aim with it? A.
The Archer Range has "pistol" style sights on top. You simply line
up the top of the front blade with the top of the rear blades then aim
at the target. |
