It will give you a pretty good idea how far up or down you are from the target you ranged. So, if you range a deer at 300 yards and it’s up the hill, it will show you 300 yards, and then say 400 vertical yards up the hill. With this mode activated, it will first display the linear distance (no angle compensation), then one second later it displays the distance up or down from your position, in yards or meters, rather than an angle.
Vertical Distance Mode (V): The Vertical Distance Mode is very unique and one I’ve not seen in a rangefinder before. In this mode, the unit will display the angle at which you are ranging in degrees, one second after the linear distance is displayed. Tilt Angle Mode (T): This one threw me at first as I thought this was the angle compensated mode. LOS (off) Mode: If all you want to see is the actual distance between you and the target, with angle compensation, this is the mode you’d select. You can choose from four different ranging modes: However, the names Athlon uses for their modes is different and gives you some unique options. As with most rangefinders, you can set up yards or meters, display brightness, and what mode you want to use.
As mentioned above, the menu is simple, however, there was one aspect that did have me puzzled at first.
