Mesh & Range Finders

[Gunther]

Having to hunt out of ground blinds this coming season, I was curious.....will range finders work through shoot thru mesh??

[Rsatt]

Yes, Sir.

I would think a laser range finder would "find" the mesh real well... I also would like to hear from others.
Range some trees or other objects first or maybe place some scent bombs at known ranges before a hunt.

[WCB]

Yes, Sir.

Really
I would have thought not... But I'll take Ronnies word as gospel

I would not have thought so either...til I tried it. It works.....My bushell anyway.

I have 2 , different Range finders one will read through it one wont. I wouldnt trust the one that does.

My old Nikon 440 did.......real well, until I bounced it off the driveway by accident. So I bought the latest and greatest Nikon Archers Choice rangefinder, only to find out in Montana it does not read through the mesh?? My buddy had a brand new Leupold rangefinder as well, and it did not as well?? Just curious if anyone else had problems with their Archers Choice reading through the mesh?

I haven't bought one yet, and I didn't want to spend the $ if they would not work through the mesh....Thanks Rsatt!!

What model Bushnell do you have Ronnie?

[gonehuntin68]

My Bushnell wont but it is old. It is one of the first pocket sized models that came out.

I've noticed with mine, if you try to range sittin in the chair in the middle of the blind, it won't. But if I move up to the mesh, then it will work. But what I usually do, after I set the blind up, I will range back to the blind from several landmarks.

[Rsatt]

What model Bushnell do you have Ronnie?

Not sure..I bought it from Walmart years ago when Range finders first come out. It looks like a set of Binoculars..with one eye hole at the eye. I'll try to check the model tomorrow....if it has a "model" on it

[Drenalin_Ag99]

Yes, Sir.

like a champ

I had a bushnell scout that would not read thru the mesh, I bought a nikon 440 and it works a friend has the newer nikon 550 but it's iffy, sometimes it will read and sometimes it won't. I decided to get the nikon monarch 1200 because its waterproof and it works as well. All readings were done using a double bull blind.

[holepuncher]

Leupold RXII will not!
