Following is a reference table listing the ranges of the various models under
different conditions:
Surface texture, color, size, and shape of the target all affect reflectivity, which
in turn affects the maximum range of the instrument. As a rule of thumb,
brightly colored targets are much more reflective than darker targets. Tan
game coats are more reflective (and thus provide a more solid reading) than a
black roof. A shiny surface is more reflective than a dull surface. Smaller targets
are more difficult to range than larger targets. Light conditions, haze, fog, rain,
and other environmental conditions can all affect ranging performance. Any
factor which degrades air clarity will reduce the maximum effective range. The
sun generates infrared energy that can degrade ranging performance in bright
conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
