I've noticed that my yardage is now about 10 yards too short at 150 yds. About 7 yds short on 100 yds. Can I adjust it or is it broken?

Presume you are using yardage markers to draw your conclusion. They are notoriously wrong and don't account for pin positions changing and "slope". The unit takes into account up and down hill lies. This may be some of the reasons you're experiencing the discrepancy. I'd trust the device.

I find the same problem. I did not expect the Golf Buddy to be precise in the first instance. To have better precision go for the range finders. The distances can also be affected by the changes made by the golf courses but not updated by Golf Buddy. You should let them know if that is the case and they update these courses very promptly. I am quite happy with the Golf Buddy's accuracy of up to 10 yards give or take.

I am not sure of an exact distance, buy I have no issues at my local park or backyard at 75 yards or so. It not quite the same distance as my AR Drone.

No problem at 50 yards. The .22 cal usually passes right through so you have to know your backstop. 100 yards starts to get pretty far out for real accuracy so hitting it well might be a trick.

It took me awhile to get mine tuned in, double checked over and over tight , but once I got tuned in at 25', hitting close to my targeted point. Rest was recoil/trigger squeeze. Then you can adjust out for distance.

the first marking is for 25 yards, it does dial down less than that, but it would be a guess, I think everything is in focus at less than 25 yards anyway.

Yes buying a new battery will improve the range greatly. A lot better than at first at least. I did it to mine and I got at least an extra 10 yards of range

I have it sighted in at 100yards,but I do not have a 500 yard range available to me. So I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you. I'm not wasting a bunch of lead on paper.

There is a sliding lever that moves up and down. To sight it in start with the lever in the most downward position. This is for your close range shots. As your yardage increases you will slide the lever upwards for longer distances. There is a piece of tape on the sliding mechanism to mark your distance. I have found that if you are dead on from 20 yard it is usually dead on at 10 yards as well.

To my knowledge it is not adjustable. But I can tell you after thousands of pictures and most of them being in the 15-25 yard range. Some as far as 35 yards you cannot go wrong for the price.

I'm not sure Greg. The elevation has considerable adjustment range. However, I zeroed in at 50 yards and haven't touched it since.

The only time mine did that was because I had the settings too close to the ground. As soon as I moved the settings up I mowed fine. When my lawn is really long, I have to put it at the highest setting.

I think it can handle 308 at 100 yards...but I would not use it for that far away. The tab on the target is approximately 6 inches and would be very difficult to hit at that distance. Also I find that when I do use the target it never lands with a tab facing me. I have to rotate about 45 degrees each time I hit it to get another shot. The reset would be very frustrating at 100 yards having to walk out after each shot to reset the target.

I can only speak for shooting at 100 yards. Haven't taken it past that, I have no range around me that offers 300 yards.

I had it zeroed with the stock sights. With the new sight installed in a neutral position, I got it to mark on paper at 25 yards, adjusted it to bullseye, then did the same at 50 and 100 yards. I consider an iron sight rifle a 70 yard gun, so I did not try beyond 100 yards. With just a little "Kentucky windage" it is not to hard to get a rifle to mark a newspaper size sheet at 25 yards. If you have trouble, try 25 feet. You could use a bore scope if you have access to one, but I didn't so I used the above method.

I have it set about 20 yards and it works perfectly. I would imagine it would work further then that.....easliy.

Furthest I've used mine so far was about 20yards. I'm sure I'll go further, but I haven't tested it out any further than 20 yds.
