How to Use a Wilson Range Finder

Rangefinders use a low-intensity laser to bounce a beam of light off a target. The unit calculates the distance based on the length of time it takes for the beam to return. The Wilson Sporting Goods eight-magnification, power-monocular rangefinder is designed to determine the distance of objects up to 300 yards away. The rangefinder is compact and light enough to fit in your pocket. It has an adjustable focus -- and roll-down rubber eye-cup -- to accommodate eyeglass wearers. The Wilson rangefinder is often used by golfers.
