Operational Summary

reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the object is being distanced to.

The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

While looking through the monocular, depress the power button once to activate the in-view display system (LCD). Aim the CABELA’S VLR at a target at least 10 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until range reading is displayed. Release the power button. Your CABELA’S VLR features an adjustable eyepiece. Simply rotate the monocular until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 6 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses.
