    Anyone ever have this problem? I put a new battery in, 2 to be exact, but that didn't help. It will not read inside of 22 yds, then it reads 17. At 30 yds it reads 21 and at 40 yds it reads 22 yds.

    Its a Bushnell Yardage Pro Compact 600. It's been a good one up until now.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure it is on yards and not meters.

    I hope it is something simple like that but that is the first thing I checked.

    You can "calibrate" your rangefinders. The process should be in the directions, but most require you to go to a known yardage and then follow steps to set that yardage and "calibrate" the rangefinder.

    I had that problem with mine a few years back. I had to recalibrate it to solve the problem.
