Auxiliary Ballistic Laser Rangefinder - ATN How To Guide

[@walnutgroveexcavating3686]

Best how to video I have seen. Nothing missed all details shown. Thanks!

[@cal2los]

At 3:06, there's a step missing that should inform the buyers to loosen the 1/16" hex screw in the cover before trying to remove the inside ring. I struggled for half an hour before I realized that was there.

[@kenjustice6926]

I have the 4K xsight and now the ABL 1500. What a great set up! Thanks to Rod Gerard, Kenny Acres and Jonathan Flores at ATN customer support/tech support. Love it. They really are great folks. Went out today sited in. Scope and range finder could not ask for anything better. Hunting season right around the corner. I bet it will look good on the crossbow. Do I hear elk in my future.

[@AtncorpOptics]

Thank you for the feedback and enjoy the scope sir.

[@captnmcq]

Good Video, except you forgot to mention the tiny set screw on the casing right above the 2 set screws that should be loosened and then subsequently tightened after retightening the 2 set screws.

[@Frostx169]

My favorite scope by far ! X-Sight 4K pro with the ABL is outstanding. I’ve recommend this scope to all my friends !

[@jmoonshine4223]

do you have any review videos and or info to share? im currently shopping.

[@fasnuf]

7:09 why only during the day?

[@surfer999c]

6:23 you said hit the Bluetooth connect on the able once, mine I had to do twice, manual also said hit it twice, in case anyone has troubles.

[@richjg3049]

Great explanation. Thanks

[@jmoonshine4223]

so did i hear that the ATN Thor 4 has essentially a built in range finder?

[@Hunter-eh4pz]

Make an update that you can put the shot counter to count down while viewing through scope, be awesome for ar15s

[@PeakyBlinder]

You didn't loosen the indexing grub screw.

My abl 1000 not displaying yardage, did exact same steps as video showed

[@dustins5359]

Mine was working great until today. Range finder working but not adjusting scope to proper yardage. I was shooting 100yrd then 200. Any thoughts? Scope has latest update

[@servandohernandez]

Once pairing and zeroing are done. What else is still to do? If you put the cap back (allen screw) then how do you actually use the ABL laser? Please help

[@Donny_Juanny]

Why does the battery cover look all scratched up?

[@69cornelis]

Met deze uitleg is het zo geregeld. Dik tevreden...

[@drandrewclarke]

tbh I cannot see the point of the laser. Mine is obviously off because when I zero it as advised it ends up quite a way off from the cross hairs. This results in a false distance. So I just adjusted the ABL box until it was on the centre of the target, omitting use of the laser and problem solved.

[@matiasucles2524]

Es legal utilizarlo de dia al no llevar el ir incorporado gracias

[@5153flash]

I can not see the lazer when zeroing. I have tried to adjust the mounting of ABL twice ,,it seems to be aligned. and bench testing it should be lit up in cross hairs,,,its right there but just cannot see it thru scope

[@5153flash]

I put rifle in a holder and the red dot lazer was on bullseye while zeroing. Yet I could not see it thru the scope. I zeroed the crosshairs anyhow. Its was only off by a inch or so. I can see the lazer plain as day ,,but not thru scope. Can you see the lazer through the Thor 4??? From this video sure seems like you can??

[@kylejackson6094]

why does my box not match up with my cross arrows when i range!!! and yes i zeroed it at 100 yrds

[@nighthound911tacticalfur8]

Are you referring to the ranging box not matching your sight cross hairs?

[@chs9627]

How do you install it without that inside ring?

[@5153flash]

Once this is set up on a thor 4 thermal scope and paired. When changing targets through scope should the ABL be giving a reading at top left for new target as scanning??? Or do you have to push the range button for each new target distance?

[@PunishersSoftball]

Why does the reading go from 109yds to 18yds?

[@kylejohnson6317]

I have the abl 1500 an I can’t even see the laser at 50 yards is less ok

[@rkreuz1]

Good morning. Can the ABL 1000 be mounted in any position or only on the sides?

[@servandohernandez]

You can put in the top position too. Works the same

[@giulianob.9797]

Hi ATN Corp ABL looks great .... But ! Can't find anything about. This is the question that ails me. So ATN X-SIGHT 4K PRO pared with ABL The ballistic computer can correct the impact point for a moving target ??? Aiming at a target with the rangefinder the speed of the target is easily calculated. If it is not now, I hope it will be done in the next software update. this will be awesome.

[@AtncorpOptics]

The ABL only measures the distance to target and gives you a new POI to that distance.

[@Richard5873]

Do you have to push the button before every kill shot? How long will it hold that yardage reading to shot at game ? Does it make a difference if it's like you did at 9 o'clock or like some people do 12 o'clock?

[@TheUnknowndragon78]

Does the scope need to be zeroed before zeroing the abl?

[@AtncorpOptics]

Yes it is best to zero scope before zeroing ABL

[@ravenousrhino]

whats the best distance to zero the ABL? I did it at 20 yards bang in the center. But when I rechecked the ABL zero at 40 yards the laser dot was outside of the reticle box.. So there is crossover accouring.

[@AtncorpOptics]

Zero the ABL at 50 yards or further if the red laser is visible to you in the current lighting conditions.

[@lamardaniels6625]

It's the same thing I noticed as well! Then I had to ReZero my ABL and scope....

[@JamesJohnson-em9pc]

Very informative video. If shooting say at 30 yards or 200 yards will it automatically adjust the zero point? Also does it account for wind, humidity and temp? If so can you do a video of that?

[@maximusplayzz7156]

Hey bro how’s the scope . Does the ballistic work ?

[@lamardaniels6625]

It does EVERYTHING all you have to do is put in the ballistic info! And if it's a windy day, keep telraxk of that and input it in, then range it and shoot! The ABL will do everything CORRECTLY, only if you input the Ballistic info. In correctly!

[@janbergendahl]

@ATNCorp Does it matter if you zero the ABL before you have zeroed the sight for the right caliber? Do you have to zero the ABL everytime when you use different caliber/ballistic profiles?

[@aajr1961]

I purchased the ABL 1500 for my ATN ThOR 4 640 4-40 and the ThOR 4 series ring is too small, so it won’t screw on to my scope. Without the proper ring there’s no way I can install the ABL 1500.

ok, newby question, does the abl pair every time you turn it on, or do you have to pair each time you power up?

It will pair automatically after doing the manual pair process.

[@TheUnknowndragon78]

Does the abl also measure height of the target. I've noticed if the height is wrong it puts the crosshairs way off

[@AtncorpOptics]

The internal rangefinder measures the height of the target. ABL uses a laser which measures in a straight line.
