About this item
- The Impact 1000 features an intuitive platform with angle compensation; perfect for bowhunters and range-day lovers. Range targets down to five yards out, with the ability to stretch out to 1,000 yards if need be.
- The primary HCD mode displays an angle compensated distance that is ideal for the majority of hunters and shooters. An advanced LOS mode provides the option to calculate long distance, high angle shots with increased precision.
- A scan feature gives continuous range readings to pan across a landscape or track a moving target. All modes can be set to read in yards or meters.
- The diopter located on the eyepiece adjusts for differences in a user's eyes. Added 6x magnification brings targets in for a closer look and more accurate ranging.
- Fully multi-coated optics enhance light transmission in low light settings. Waterproof and shockproof performance keep you in the hunt no matter what the conditions.

Wish I had bought one sooner
Bought this between last years early and late deer season. Day 1, missed a deer twice, that's right missed the same deer twice! First time hunting archery season. Same day later that afternoon, missed a second deer. UGH!!!! So I did some research and it led me to this Vortex. Other similar priced models with similar specs only had a 1 year warranty and this baby has a lifetime (almost) no questions asked warranty. Plus it was on sale. Just playing around with it I managed to range a few high voltage power towers at 458yds (so holding steady is a must). The view is crystal clear too. What a real winner!!!!!! The default mode is set to angle range correction or whatever its called and it seems to work wonders. The only issue I noticed is, it may or may not work in fog (depending on a lot of factors). The good news is I did get a deer towards the middle of the late season, but the wind (30-40mph gusting to 50+) and driving rain/fog (almost horizontal) made it nearly impossible to use. In better weather it works wonders. Not sorry I bought it either.

All you need...
If you are like me and don't normally take a shot over 200 to 300 yards, this range finder is all that you need. It is accurate, compact, tuff, reliable and easy to operate. By the way, did I mention that it is made by Vortex and comes with a life time warranty? Why pay more?

A very good rangefinder
Arrived on time and in excellent condition. A very good rangefinder that includes the most important functions in an easy to access way. Replaces a Nikon rangefinder that's still buried somewhere after a home move. Still, the Vortex has more features so I think it's going to be the first string device with Nikon being backup.

Works just as described
Got it mostly for archery and rifle within 300 yards so it does that just fine. Could get rocks on a hillside out to about 600 yards without a reflective surface so that was pretty impressive. Glass was clear. I could see how perhaps the black display could be hard to see, but I haven't tried it close to dark.

Great Rangefinder
This rangefinder is very accurate, and it is crystal clear. It ranges non-reflective objects very well which is what my prior rangefinder would not do, and that is a great plus. I cannot complain one bit. I would recommend this to a friend.

Solid
This is my first ever rangefinder so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it's already been worth its weight in gold out hunting. I have yet to take it to the range but am excited to be able to find distances in the wintertime without having to dig through ice to find the markers.

Seem great
Crystals clear and seem to work great plus the Vortex warranty so what can go wrong. One of easier pairs I’ve ever used and are super compact. Time will tell how it will hold up but Vortex will fix it if there’s a problem

Best Rangefinder I've used to date
This is the first rangefinder I've ever used that actually can range the distance it claims. Others from Bushnell, Halo, and more are often listed as "1000 yards", but struggle to get more than half that. I can routinely hit things at 6 and 7 hundred yards with this, and I haven't even started my first season with it. The more Vortex optics I use, the more I've become a believer.

Question & Answer
Question :
where is it made?
Answer :
I don't know, but Optic Vortex is headquartered in Wisconsin and I'm pretty sure it was designed by engineers in the U.S.
Question :
Is this unit water proof?
Answer :
yes
Question :
Does this come with the VIP warranty?
Answer :
All Vortex products do.
Question :
2 questions: How does it compare to a Sig Kilo that costs a little less? Has anyone been able to get an accurate distance in the 500-800 yard range?
Answer :
I’ve scoped distance I feel are accurate in the 500-700 Yd range, depending on the light and the target . Over 700 it gets iffy.
Question :
Does it have a minimum distance?
Answer :
5 yds looks to be the closest distance .
Question :
Does anyone use this golfing as well?
Answer :
You probably could, just use the scan button to catch the flag pole at the hole. However, I don't play golf anymore but would have worked to recollection.
Question :
In the field, will this rangefinder accurately and dependably range non-reflective surfaces (like deer) out to 600 yards?
Answer :
Yes, but only if what you are ranging is in the clear. If your ranging something behind dense brush you may have a hard time getting an accurate reading. i live in Arizona and while hunting desert terrain I've gotten readings as far as 680 yards repeatedly.
Question :
where is it made?
Answer :
American made , by veterans owned and operated. Made in the state of Wisconsin.
Question :
Is it illuminated?
Answer :
Hello! This model is not illuminated
Question :
Will this work in low light conditions?
Answer :
Yes works in twilight hours and beyond. But you might not know what you are targeting if you can see through the monocular.
