![]() You can also use it to track distances on moving targets. There is also a Scan Mode that functions in what is essentially first target mode – it pulls distances from smaller or foreground targets as you move across the terrain. The maximum angle readings the Impact can provide is +/- 60-degrees. With 15-30-degree slopes, HCD is accurate out to 400 yards. In terrains with less than a 15-degree slope, HCD will be accurate out to 800 yards. The HCD mode runs algorithms for providing an already compensated distance with angle taken into account. The angle can be used with the shooter’s ballistic software to calculate a more precise adjustment for elevation or wind. In LOS mode, the angle of the incline/decline is measured and displayed. The LOS mode is suitable for all shooters in flat terrain and even when on slopes. There are only two measuring target modes: HCD (Horizontal Component Distance) and LOS (Line of Sight). ![]() The Impact has an all-round, simple theme, but it’s still a very technologically advanced unit. It’s long-distance in its own way, exceptionally easy to operate, and it provides the analytical information you need to know – slope and distance or a corrected distance. The Vortex 1000 rangefinder is far from the eccentric alternatives of the latest offerings (think rangefinding binoculars), but it has everything you need a quality rangefinder to have. So, it will slow down or refuse to function if you’re hunting in extremely freezing climates. The Impact is rated for 14-134-degrees Fahrenheit. For those who are hunting in below zero conditions, you’ll need to spend more dough. The battery compartment is O-ring sealed for some waterproof protection. With 15mm of eye relief and an adjustable diopter but no adjustable eyecup, the Impact will be easier and comfortable to use among those who don’t wear glasses. There is no need to take essential time from the hunt to meddle with settings and various modes when all you need is a distance. The Impact is crazy easy to use as you have only yards/meters and LOS/HCD to work with. As a Vortex product, it has the olive drab green color that has made this brand so recognizable. The Impact may be a beginner rangefinder, but its no-frills design is still extremely effective for seasoned hunters.
