Description
Nikon LRF Coolshot 40 Product description
-
ID Technology (Incline/Decline): This innovative technology compensates for both uphill and downhill shots, providing the horizontal distance to the target. This is crucial for hunters and golfers aiming for accurate shot placement on varied terrain, ensuring precise trajectory calculations.
-
First Target Priority Mode: Ideal for obtaining the distance to the closest subject in a group of objects. When ranging overlapping subjects, this mode prioritizes the nearest target, making it perfect for hunting scenarios where you need to range a specific animal in front of dense foliage.
-
Distant Target Priority Mode: When dealing with scenes that might have obstacles in the foreground, this mode displays the range to the farthest target. This is particularly useful for hunters needing to range a deer behind bushes or small trees, ensuring you get the true distance to your intended target.
-
Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing only 125 grams (4.4 oz) and featuring a sleek, ergonomic design, the Coolshot 40 is exceptionally portable. Its small size ensures it fits comfortably in your hand or pocket, making it an ideal companion for long treks in the field without adding significant bulk.
ABOUT THE Nikon LRF Coolshot 40
The Nikon LRF Coolshot 40 laser rangefinder stands out in its series by focusing on critical features for speed and accuracy in a compact design, primarily for hunters and golfers.

Its lightweight and ergonomic build, weighing only 125 grams, makes it an ideal companion for discreet carrying in the field. This model excels in providing angle-compensated distances (ID Technology), which is paramount for hunters navigating challenging terrain and ensuring ethical, accurate shots regardless of elevation changes. Constructed with durable materials and offering rainproof performance, it’s built to withstand typical outdoor conditions. Its intuitive operation with a single button press allows for quick target acquisition, minimizing disturbance and maximizing efficiency for those critical moments.
