RANGEFINDING TIPS
Laser 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 objects.
• Light colors will usually reflect better than dark ones.
• Snow, rain, and fog 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.
