Clear concise explanation. Instant AHAH moment.
Awesome man! 👊🏼
Awesome video!! That explains a lot. Liked and subscribed 🤘🤘
Thanks!
Great concise explanation ,short and to the point.
Thanks! 👊🏼
What a quick yet highly informative video Josh. I will have to check my Bushnell Truth rangefinder to see if there’s any angle 📐 compensation mode and if so how to set it up.
My biggest concern is shooting extremely short distance at whitetail from a tree 🌳 once I learn how to use my sticks and tree saddle properly. 🌳🏹🦌
Thanks dude! Man, I'd set that sucker up and actually practice shooting from it to get the hang of everything. Good luck!
@@DialedinHunter you are welcome 🙏. Pretty neat to see the point of impact shift in those two shots.
I definitely need to do that. Knowing your gear inside and out makes you a more efficient hunter. Time behind the glass and bow is vital to success
Awesome tips Thanks for posting
Thanks Armando! Hope you guys have been finding some bucks!
Thank you for breaking that down so well
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I shoot a crossbow; however this was very informative and applicable. Great job explaining and demonstrating!
Thanks
I'm proud of my 30yard groups but this guy's talking about 100yard shot with a bow damn I need to up my game
It'll make 30 yards seem like nothin!
Great explanation
Thanks David! 👊🏼
Lmao I misread the thumbnail as "how to shoot angels"
🤣🤣 You may have cracked my next video idea.... lol
Great tips! Awesome video!
Thanks man!
Very nice. If you have your rangefinder set for angles. Is there a quick way to figure out line of sight? Say I don't feel comfortable shooting over 50 yards. I range something on a hill and my rangefinder says 45 because it's angle compensating, but actual yardage is 65.
That's a great question. You could choose to keep it on LOS mode, then flip it over to the angle comp after the fact. Would have to be quick with your settings though! Haha.
That bow is LOUD!
SO LOUD. There were two things going on there I found out. One the mod on those cams seems to like to come loose easy, which then causes a clank sound on the shot. Two, and a very simple fix, is the football head on my drop away cord was actually hitting my quiver on each shot. There is a mark on the backside of this quiver from it.
Is there a reason to use line of sight on my rangefinder, or should I just use horizontal compensation mode
So, the only real reasons to use LOS mode in my opinion are if you're using precise slope adjustment charts based off of your specific ballistic data. These are obviously going to provide the most pinpoint accurate cuts. The HCD gets you pretty close though. That goes for bow and rifle. And the other reason is more nerdy than anything, but I personally like knowing what a certain degree of angle was and what the actual LOS distance was after the shot. Other than that, your best bet is to just always have it in HCD mode, haha.
@@DialedinHunter Thanks, I'll leave it in hcd mode and hopefully it will make a difference on my next hunt.
I was doing the hike to hunt last week end and compared the LOS mode to the HCD. I used the data from the range finder to get my yardage off a cut sheet from archerers advantage based on my sight tape that i made. I then went to HCD mode and compared the yardage from the cut sheet to that of the range finder. It was so close to the tenth that i kept it on HCD mode and didn't use the cut sheet. The slopes were moderate. Nothing crazy. I hit all of the slope shots pretty good for my novice experience.
@@christiantorres6118 Way to test that out!
@@christiantorres6118 Thanks for the heads up the more info I get the more confident I become
What is the name of your target? I like that one a lot.
Pretty slick huh? It's made by the company 365 archery. Called their Trio Target System.
@@DialedinHunter Thanks brother! I just stumbled on your channel with this video. I’ve been shooting for a while but never successfully hunted. I’m hoping the rest of your content can help me with that.
Soooo when shooting on slopes you want to be on LOS or HCD??
@@Terpedup925 HCD if you want the rangefinder to do the slope calculations for you. LOS would be used if you wanted to use an actual printed out cut chart to do the calculations on your own.
Hey man!
Hi, great break down. So, new here to shooting. I have a range finder but I have no idea how to use it when I am using my rifle. Assume the Range finder say I am 2° up does that mean you have to dial in 2° compensation in the scope? Thanks
That means that the target you ranged is at a 2 degree angle. This isn't enough to warrant an adjustment, in my opinion. You're on the right track though. Sounds like your rangefinder is reading line of sight. If you get one that does angle compensation, then it'll do the calculations for you and give the range of what you need to aim/dial for on your rifle scope.
@@DialedinHunter Great & many thanks for clarifying. Cheers
