Hi guys
I use a Bushnell Yardage pro,and discovered some interesting thing about it..

I went out to this new discovered A to laser it,it said 155ftjust below the exitpoint(at SERVAL shots arround the A),then i wanted to do the acurate by Phytagoras thing,but then i run out of power..

150ish is high enough to me to SL by lasering it that way so i jumped it a few days later i jumped it and found myself having a long canopyride.. hmm

Last nite i then climbed the thing after i had turned my Alti-watch on(accuresy whith in 3ft)it said 183ft at the top...

I have this morning been out there whith fresh battery on my laser and lasered it again,now it says 180ft... either the way i started whith or the phytagoras..

Therefore please make sure your batteryes are fresh.. Atleast it messured it wrong in my favor...

Any others had similar experience?

hmmm, now that you mention it i think this explains why I was getting strange readings a couple of weeks back.

I was measuring a short rock drop WS exit point and the laser was giving significantly less tude the ol' tried and tested rock drop (i figured it was just the fear making us count fast )

In the end we bottled it and found something a little higher
