Is there an archery range finder that works in fog? Just learned this weekend they don't. If you depend on the range finder what do you do, not hunt if there's any mist in the air?
I think most laser range finders just can't work in fog. I've just kept shots to 20 yards or less in the fog. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Get a better rangefinder. Higher end more powerful models will read better in situations like this. I just picked up a Leupold rx-1000i tbr and it cuts through fog and really reaches out there to some pretty ridiculous distances.
Hmmm. My leupold rx-1000 doesn't cut through fog much better than my bushnell scout. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Maybe my Bushnell is more awesome than I gave it credit for. Christine > Justin Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Ive noticed that too with both my Leupold and my Nikon. I would think that the moisture in the air would refract the lazer and make it difficult for the sensor to pick it back up.
No rangefinder can penetrate fog. Now what your local fog is compared to mine is a different story. If your fog is light yes some better models will make it through. Here when it's foggy you'll hardly see your feet no rangefinder will work.
Thanks all. The fog I had this weekend was not that heavy at all IMO and even when it seemed to be mostly burnt off it still didn't work till it was completely clear. I have the new Nikon Archers choice with seems the best I could find after buying and returning several. I never tried the Leopoid 1000 but I tried the model below that and didn't care for the audible clicking sound it made ever time you ranged something. Not sure if the 1000 does that but they seemed like they were built more for rifle hunters. I guess what gets me is that you really shouldn't rely on rangefinders very much. I guess I was wondering if there was another technology out there that didn't use lasers.
