Simply put, the Impact rangefinder’s combination of excellent and reliable performance at a super economical price means you no longer have an excuse to head afield without a laser rangefinder. This lightweight, no-frills rangefinder is easy-to-use and features angle compensation for treestand hunters and casual range goers wanting precise horizontal distance to the target. The Impact joins all other Vortex rangefinders in the unique fact they are fully covered for life by the legendary VIP Warranty—including electronics.
After finding the unit to be ineffective beyond 500 yds using reflective targets, I established communication with a Vortex representative whom CONFIRMED its inefficient performance and further stated his satisfaction with Vortex discontinuing the unit. If you are shooting beyond 500 yds this is not the range finder for you. I have considerable respect for the Vortex brand as an optics leader, however, even the best brands have products that under perform against the companies represented capabilities.
