I could see the laser spot and get distance measurements up to 15 m on my Hetzer. Beyond that, I could not see the spot to accurately point the laser. I could get very repeatable measurments up to 40m on the side of a light colored house. When the sun came out, I could not get any measurements at any range even on the house. The bright sunlight overpowered the laser spot. I do not recommend this sensor for electronic firing solutions. Another friend has a golf range sensor with an internal spotting scope. I may try mating it with a video camera. We would then need some simple image processing to read the seven-segment range numbers that appear as an ovelay on the scope image. Joe
