Aaron Davidson of Gunwerks explains essential rangefinder techniques for enhanced accuracy. Key methods include using a tripod for stability, leveraging 'gating technology' (closest/farthest target modes) to isolate targets from background, and employing a manual panning/tilting technique to approximate gating when it's unavailable. A final double-check by bracketing the target's range with closer and farther terrain points is recommended to build confidence in readings.
