Slope and angles, nothing is said in description nor reviews, does it show angles and take inconsideration distances for tree stand hunting or deer-

I use the Simmons for golf, it does not give any information on slopes or angles. It is straight forward distance only. It is good if the target is not surrounded by to much brush or trees as it may have a problem picking up the target. Over all I am happy with the unit and the price is great.

This will not do any thing for slope or angles. It will give accurate readings to an object, like a tree or rock. As a former bowhunter, I would figure range to a particular tree, and then just use the correct pin and aim low. It works!

The one I received didn't have slope or angles. I used it for golf which it did not work for me. I needed it to read the small flag on the green and I was very disappointed. It may work better for hunting. Also, mine broke. I purchased a used Busnell from a golf buddy and it works okay for golf and is fine for archery and hunting. Just my opinion.

It has crosshairs with circles in the center for arrow drop. I chose to remove mine and replace with a trueglo crossbow reflix optic, for the distance I shoot in the field dear and hog are normally inside 75yds. Plus scopes are no good when your stalking in dense Texas brush and forest.

Yes, but barely. You have to place it in somewhat angularly (corner-to-corner) in my experience. It does work however and is great for to and from the range, hunting, etc.

Your absolutely right. I shot at a bear at a 3d shoot it was standing up at a pretty steep angle at 60 yards and it told me to shoot at 55 and I was still high. So we shot it again for 50 and we were right on. I haven't messed with it out of my tree stand yet.

Ashley. I suppose I could trig this question out and let you know. My particular tree the latter is set at about 20 degrees, it depends on the ground, tree, ect... This was my first ladder stand, and I am happy as heck that I got it. Set against the same tree I sat under for over 15 years. I would reccomend you have someone help you set it up, it all depends on the other conditions, and the way I set this one up, will be different from the next one I set up. Get help with it as I did. I am pretty crippled up and needed help anyway. I can't reccoment an angle, I'm sorry. I will suggest some heavy rope and something to tie onto it, so you can rope any branches sticking out and break them off. I am not a paid review guy, but I will suggest getting some sort of wrap around blind, or burlap to tie off to the rail. Archery or rifle, if you cover it from the shooting rail down, all any deer will see is from the shoulder up. I prefer the large stands just for one person, but they will be comfy for two. Also, and extra ratchet strap sill be nice, especially if your like me and don't use a harness. If you use a harness, I would reccomend a different on than what is provided. The ones you get with it are good, but a little constricting, especially for a guy. I've seen harness' out there that you can wear as a vest. In Wisconsin, one of three people take a dive out of the stand, so it's up to you. I don't use one, but it would be smart to use one. I don't know if you are using a gun, standard bow, or crossbow. So depending on that, you can reverse the shooting rail higher or lower. I will be buying two more of these, they rock! This is my 26th year hunting. I've shot 20 deer sitting on a bucket at the bottom of my tree. Now that I'm elevated, I've seen much more. In my tree, the base of the ladder is appx. 12 feet from the tree, but it is all terrain specific. This stand for the money is amazing. I will buy at least two more for next year. Good luck!

Nope, this rangefinder does not measure slope. That's a good thing, it's legal to use in tournaments.

Nope. And neither does YAW Cam. I found a tiny clear plastic ruler (marked off in mm), and place it next to the item being viewed. That works fair on flat items, and not very well with items of varying height.

The angled view piece is good for activities like birdwatching, where the thing you're looking at may be high or low. It's probably less useful for target shooting, where the thing stays put. Say I'm looking at a duck on the lake, then tilt the scope up to look at a warbler in a tree. If the view piece is straight, I have to half-crouch to get my eye down to the view piece. Or I adjust the tripod height, after which the warbler is long gone. If the piece is angled, I just rotate the scope to get the view piece to a comfortable height. Also good for sharing: my husband spots something, says "look at this," and rotates the scope down to my eye level without moving the field of view.

I use mine for bow hunting so the tilt is a nice feature from a tree stand. I only have used the tilt model so I can not give you an honest answer. I suspect that like low line optics some individual units are better than others.

It does not calculate "drop". It calculates the actual horizontal distance based on the downward angle from your tree stand or higher ground to the target. Because the diagonal distance from stand to target will always be longer than the distance from the base of the tree to the target. When you aim your bow you need to aim for the true horizontal distance. This is why many hunters will shoot over the top of a deer from a stand. If you want me to explain this in more detail you can message me personally.

there is an elevation and a windage adjustment just like any other optical sight. the description is wrong.

yes it is, however it does not give accurate elevation yardage. I am not happy with it for that reason. It is however accurate to straight line yardage.

Yes it did have the slope feature. I can't really tell you how to use it, I bought as a gift for my brother and he seems very happy with it. One tip I can offer you, if you read the reviews there were complaints about the battery life lasting only about 7 rounds. Take the battery out after each round it lasted my brother over 30 rounds.

If you're asking if it measures distance, no. It is for leveling or making sure many items are lined up.

Am interested in this due the lack of a strap to adjust the angles. But if the thing doesn't work properly... did anyone have this resolved (please don't reply "I love this unit". Thank you

I purchased the model with slope. The box and unit I recall said slope. I did return it for the non slope model (neat on hilly course but generally not tournament legal). The non slope model and box don't indicate slope. Additionally the slope model has an off/on option (even if turned off still not legal) under setup. The non slope doesn't. BTW. The V3 is excellent.
