A high-performance, value-packed rangefinding series designed to provide rapid and precise distance measurements for hunters, archers, and outdoor professionals.
The Hawke Vantage series is engineered to deliver elite-level features at a highly competitive price point. Built around a 6x21 optical system with fully multi-coated lenses and BK-7 prisms, these units provide bright, true-colour images even in low-light conditions. The series is available in various models offering different maximum ranging distances to suit various environments. Every unit is nitrogen-purged to be 100% waterproof and fogproof, ensuring reliable performance in the damp conditions of the Australian bush or the freezing temperatures of the high country.
Versatile Operating Modes
The Vantage series stands out by including five specialised modes often reserved for much more expensive units:
-
Standard Mode: Measures the straight-line distance to your target with a continuous scan feature for moving objects.
-
Horizontal Distance (HD) Mode: Essential for high-angle shots; it calculates the true flat distance to ensure your point of impact is correct.
-
Angle Mode: Displays the angle of projection to the nearest tenth of a degree, providing critical ballistic data.
-
Rain Mode: Ignores interference from falling raindrops, allowing for accurate ranging during inclement weather.
-
Hunt Mode: Filters out distractions like tall grass or light brush, ensuring you get the distance to the animal rather than the vegetation.
