Summary

Why the hell would a person need to range 5000 yards or beyond anyway?...We’ll tell ya. Jimmy and Mark sit down with Paul Neess (AKA “The Neess”) and Ryan Muckenhirn to dissect this interesting question. In some ways the extreme ranging horsepower of  an optic like our Fury HD 5000 is akin to when we practice shooting at long range – the fact the unit can hit 5000 well, makes closer work like 2500 yards a chip shot in regard to speed, pinpoint-precision and distance reading accuracy. A person can also route plan, estimate time of travel to get to a specific point and surprise themselves with how close or far a target/object really is. Things can get deceiving out there in regard to distance perception and a good rangefinder can give you the answers you need. Lest we forget, responsibly shooting targets at extreme long rage is damn fun and knowing the range is pivotal. All this, and as per usual, Paul says some other smart stuff…So Neess!

What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here and we're joined by Ryan

0:04.3

Knuckin' across the table and actually it's been a minute we're just discussing

0:07.7

this but Mr Paul Nise is also across the table.

0:10.8

We got him. He's been out doing some really awesome hunts so nice and anyway the topic at hand today

0:19.6

though and actually Paul you've been on I can remember at least one other podcast where we talked about range finders so here you are

0:24.8

Oh, I'm sure yeah absolutely you have used many a range finder and so we have our fury HD 5,000 range finding by bios in front of us.

0:34.1

And I think the question comes up from time to time.

0:38.4

Well, the 5,000 denoting.

0:40.7

Denoting yardage.

0:42.1

And essentially how far out these binocular range

0:46.0

finders can range and we're talking about in this case whenever we list any

0:50.5

range finders effective range it's on you know reflective targets

0:54.7

assuming a relatively calm day not you know right now we have a absolute downpour going

1:00.2

on outside so not something like that and then also probably supported off

1:03.6

of a tripod or something like that but still the question remains why would anyone

1:08.0

ever need to be able to range to 5,000 yards is anybody shooting to 5,000 yards, is anybody shooting to 5,000 yards?

1:14.4

You know, especially a lot of these are used in hunting situations,

1:17.2

so I have yet to see anybody with like a 5,000 yard big oil kill.

1:21.4

That would be really something... I don't If you've done it. That would be very

1:26.9

controversial. And yeah, so why is this for the let's throw it to the niece first?

1:34.0

Yeah, well the first thing that, you know, I'd throw in is that when you see that 5,000 yard number thrown out there or 4,000 or whatever it might be. That's kind of the industry

1:44.8

yardstick for comparing to everyone else's products and it is like the it's the
