The Nikon Laser Forestry Pro emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared
energy pulses that reflect off the selected target back to its
optical receiver. Sophisticated precision charge circuitry is used
to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring the time it
takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target
and back. Laser reflectivity and measurement results may vary
according to climatic and environmental conditions, the colour,
surface finish, size, shape and other characteristics of the target.
The following factors ensure better range and accuracy:
• Nighttimeuse
• Cloudyweather
• Bright-colouredtargets
• Targetswithhighlyreflectivesurfaces
• Targetswithshinyexteriors
• Large-sizetargets
• Shootingtargetsfacingat90degrees
Measurement may result in inaccuracy or failure in the following cases:
• Slenderorsmalltarget
• Targethasdiffusingreflectivesurface
