My son has the Gogogo. But he's not a bow hunter and he hunt the Prairies of Alberta Canada with a 7mm Rem mag so angle compensation isn't such a deal breaker. Really helpful video. Thanks

I enjoyed using it, and I think it’s great if you don’t need the angle compensation.

I've been wanting a rangefinder for awhile now for general use at the shooting range (I've never used a rangefinder before for hunting) I had to snag the halo xl450 when I saw it for just under 50 dollars and no tax. Turns out my 100 yard range is actually 184 yards. No wonder why people arnt accurate with my sighted rifles.
@TheBudgetSportsman2 жыл бұрын
Haha. That’s funny. $50 is a good deal even if the halo isn’t my favorite range finder.

I did that when I was first getting started...it works ok, but my steps would not be the same practicing in my yard as they were in the woods stepping over sticks and logs. The rangefinder will be way more consistent, at least that has been my experience. I enjoy having one and using one and would have a hard time going without one now.

The Halo XL450’s available now look a little different. The eyepiece has been moved up and looks more like most rangefinders now. I’d like to know how much difference there is between the Halo XL450 (newer version and the XL600). Also I’ve been seeing tons of great reviews for the Wosports 700 yard rangefinder.

Whats the difference between golf and hunting angles
@TheBudgetSportsman3 жыл бұрын
I tested all these range finders from 35ft up and ranged an object at 17yards. The angle compensation on the bushnell, halo, and muddy all gave me a compensated number of approximately 12 yards while the gogogo read 2 yards. I really am unsure of what the gogogo is calculating. It will read an accurate angle measurement in degrees, BUT clearly is calculating something differently. In hunting range finders it is using the angle to determine the actual horizontal distance from you to the target rather than the line of sight distance.
@TimJim20013 жыл бұрын
@@TheBudgetSportsman If you were at 17 yards and the compensated horizontal distance is 12 yards, then you were at an angle of 45.1 degrees. arccos(12/17) The gogogo GS03 range finder is only rated for 45 degree slopes, so you were probably just beyond what it could handle. Alternatively, if it doesn't match the other range finders at more shallow angles, then you got a faulty angle sensor in that unit. I don't think there is any golf angle that would give 2 yards in that scenario. It would be good to know if angle sensors in the gogogo units can be faulty, and its not just a golf vs hunting issue.
@TheBudgetSportsman3 жыл бұрын
It’s possible that the unit was faulty. It was inaccurate in every situation not just the single example given.
