Range Vision is an optical rangefinder that brings cutting-edge technology into hunting. An augmented reality overlay allows you to range and save targets as a spotter. Built-in optical adjustment allows you to use with spotting scope adapters for extended range. Range Vision also incorporates wind and weather data to help you ensure you never miss that shot, with the ability to estimate wind both at the rifle and at the target so that any wind pattern shifts over long-range shots are adjusted for as accurately as possible. Both a generic ballistics calculator and a cutting-edge 4-Degrees-of-Freedom calculator are incorporated to allow you to get accurate drop and drift measurements of any bullet.
