Woodlander Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I bought a 2nd hand Vortex Fury and the mode button does nothing when pressed. I’m not too concerned as the Vortex warranty is exceptional, but not sure if I’m missing anything. What should it show when pressed?

One on top of two Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 If you press and hold for about 5 secs it should change display to mode where you have the option to change to line of sight or HRC mode , then you have your unit functions ect ect . I have the fury 5000 HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted September 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Maybe I’m not depressing the button for long enough, I’ll try again, thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks, One on top of two, when depressing the menu button, It takes around 8 or 9 seconds for the display to light up. I was giving up after 4 or 5, thinking it was faulty. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well done 👍 glad you got it sorted mate . I have mine set to HCD mode which is great for stalking ( Horizontal Component Distance mode for angle compensated ranging.) And on permanent Scan feature which’s displays continual distance readings when panning across a landscape or tracking a moving animal. once on the above settings I just leave it be and find it covers everything I seem to come up against from foxing to stalking on Isle of Arron .

Woodlander Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think I accidentally set it on HCD mode, I didn’t know what it meant, but I’ll leave it on that, if it gives the features You mention. Still haven’t got it reading beyond 1050 m, which is beyond my range, but can’t help wondering how they can claim it ranges from 5-500 yds? Again, many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 That would depend on the model you have ? the fury HD out to 1600 m max on reflective target fury 5000 HD out 5000 m max on reflective target I have ranged out to just over 3K but I have mine fixed on tripod which helps no end . but let’s be honest, how far do we really need ? 1000m is fine me thinks I just think there a stunning piece of glass and nice Binos that suit my eyes a treat .

Woodlander Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 They are the HD 5000, I’ll try them out on a more stable platform, but as with you, 1000yds is ample. Thank you for the clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
