Fury™ HD Rangefinder Binocular
The Fury™ HD is an extremely effective angle-compensated laser rangefi nder binocular intended for
hunters, archers and shooters. The primary HCD
(Horizontal Component Distance) mode provides key
angle compensated range information required by the
vast majority of rifl e and bow shooters in a simple,
quick-to-read display.
The Fury also has a LOS (Line of Sight) mode and
Scan feature, along with adjustments for reading in
yards or meters and setting the brightness of the
display.
Basic Operation
Adjust the eyecups
The eyecups on a Fury HD twist up and down so any
viewer can see the full fi eld and enjoy comfortable
viewing—with or without eyeglasses.
Adjust the interpupillary distance
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance
between the centers of the left and right eye pupils.
Match the IPD of your eyes to that of the binocular
so you see a single image free of shading. Rotate the
binocular barrels inward or outward to line your eyes
up with ocular lenses.
Properly focus the binocular
For the best views, follow this twostep process to properly adjust the
center focus and diopter. Choose an
object that is about 20 yards away
from you and stay in the same spot
until you have adjusted the binocular
for your eyes.
1. Adjust the center focus—start
by closing your left eye or covering
the left objective lens with your
hand. Focus your right eye on the
object and adjust the center focus
wheel until the image is in focus.
Leave the center focus in this position as you adjust
the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter—start by
closing your right eye or covering
the right objective lens with your
hand. Look through your left eye,
adjust the diopter so that the object is in focus. Make note of this
diopter setting in case you need
to set it again. From this point on, you will only need
to use the center focus wheel.
Install Battery
Open the battery compartment and install the CR2
battery included with the Fury.
Power Up
To power up the Fury and prepare for ranging, press
and release the Measure button. The HCD or LOS
ranging screen will display. The Fury will power down
automatically after ten seconds of non-use.
Properly focus the rangefinder display
This process is similar to focusing the binocular.
1. Power up the binocular and close your left eye.
2. View the rangefi nder display with your right eye.
3. Use the reticle focus adjustment ring to bring the
display into sharp focus.
Mode Selection
Your Fury is factory set to the angle
compensating HCD mode, yards, and
medium brightness. For most users,
these are the preferred settings.
To change modes, press the Measure
button to power on and then press the
Menu button for at least four seconds.
Once the Mode Selection screen displays, release the button.
As you progress through Mode Selection, you
may exit at any time and save your settings by
pressing and holding the Menu button for at least
four seconds—the Fury will return to power-up
condition.
Set and Save Mode Selections in 3 Steps
Choose between the HCD and LOS Modes.
After activating the Mode Selection, press the Measure button to toggle between the HCD and LOS
displays. Press the Menu button to save your desired
choice and move to the Yards/Meters selection screen.
Choose between Yards and Meters Display.
Press the Measure button to toggle between the
Yards and Meters display. Press the Menu button to
save your desired choice and move to the Brightness
selection screen.
Choose between Three Brightness Settings.
The Fury provides three illumination settings. Press
the Measure button to toggle through the three Brightness settings. Press the Menu
button to save your desired setting and move back to the HCD/
LOS selection screen.
To exit Mode Selection and save
settings, press and hold the Menu
button for four seconds. Settings
will also save when Fury powers down
automatically.
Ranging
With the Fury powered up, position the laser aiming
circle on the target object and press and release the
Measure button to get the distance measurement. If the laser is not able to range due
to the refl ectivity of the target,
you will see a display similar to
that shown here. To range a new
target, simply re-aim and press
the Measure button again.
Scan Ranging
Activate Scan Ranging by pressing and holding the
Measure button down.
Keeping the button depressed will continuously measure distance as you pan back and forth across target
objects. The aiming circle will blink as you pan.
Releasing the Measure button will return laser to the Power Up Condition.
Ranging Mode Explanations
The Fury provides two range modes: HCD (Horizontal
Component Distance) and LOS (Line of Sight). Both
modes offer a Scan feature.
HCD Mode
The HCD range display is intended to be the primary
mode—used for most rifl e and archery shooting applications. The yardage number displayed is the critical
horizontal component distance.
Using the HCD Mode
Use the HCD range mode in the following situations:
• Rifle shooting on level ground at any range.
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 800 yards with mild
slopes (less than 15 degrees).
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards with moderate slopes (15 to 30 degrees).
• For all archery shooting.
The displayed HCD yardage number is corrected for
shot angle and needs no extra user input; shooters
simply use the appropriate level ground bullet drop
and wind adjustment for the range displayed and
shoot. Archers use the appropriate level ground sight
pin for the range displayed and shoot.
LOS Mode
The LOS (Line of Sight) mode is intended for rifl e
shooters who are using slope correcting ballistic drop
data cards, ballistic cell phone applications, or other
devices with ballistic programs and who are shooting
at distances beyond 500 yards and with slopes greater than 15 degrees. Most shooters and archers will
not need the LOS mode.
The range number displayed in LOS mode is the
actual line of sight range with no ballistic correction
for slope. Most of the commonly used ballistic devices
can provide independent slope correction for bullet
drop data and require actual line of sight range input.
Using the LOS range when calculating bullet wind
drifts under these steep slope/long range conditions
will provide a higher degree of accuracy than using
the HCD range.
To use, simply input the LOS range number into the
electronic device or use the LOS range when referencing ballistic drop cards with slope correction.
LOS Mode – Using the INC Number
When in LOS mode, an additional number is displayed
above the yardage number. This number is slope
incline shown in degrees.
The slope incline number can be entered into ballistic
programs or field cards to help calculate precise bullet
drops in mountainous terrain.
Scan Feature
The Scan feature can be used to range moving targets
or help range smaller targets on uniform backgrounds,
and works in both HCD or LOS modes. Once powered
up, press and hold the Measure button and scan back
and forth, watching for changes in the yardage number as the aiming circle moves across target objects.
The blinking aiming circle display indicates Scan
Ranging is activated.
Tripod Use for Ranging
Using a tripod to steady the Fury will greatly increase
your ability to range small targets at longer distances.
To use on a tripod, you will need to use a binocular
tripod adapter. The reticle may appear tilted depending on tripod level.
Rangefinding Tips
Rangefinding binoculars work by emitting a brief
pulse of light aimed at a target object. Distance is
determined by the amount of time taken for the light
to emit and return to the laser’s internal receiver. A
laser’s ability to read range can be affected by many
things—mostly relating to the target objects. Under
ideal conditions, expect to range a large refl ective
object out to 1600 yards and deer-sized game out to
1000 yards.
Laser Performance Tips
• Light colors will usually refl ect the laser pulse
better than dark ones. An exception would be
snow, which can be diffi cult to range.
• Shiny, refl ective surfaces will usually refl ect the
laser pulse better than dull, textured surfaces.
Animal hair will not refl ect as well as a hard surface.
• Ranging while under cloud cover can improve
laser performance compared to ranging while
under bright sunny conditions.
• Solid objects, such as rock piles, will refl ect the
laser pulse better than less dense items such as
bushes.
• Flat surfaces perpendicular to the laser pulse will
refl ect better than curved surfaces or surfaces
angled in relation to laser pulse.
• Ranging over water can sometimes cause false
refl ections and readings.
• At longer distances, larger objects will be easier
to range than small objects.
• If you are having diffi culty ranging an animal or
object, try ranging a different nearby object or
use the Scan feature to pan back and forth while
watching for changes in range number.
Accessories
Carry Case
The protective case provides safe storage between
viewing sessions. The carry strap is already attached
to the case.
Lens Covers
A rainguard for the ocular lenses and tethered objective lens covers is included. Use these covers to
protect the lenses whenever you are not viewing.
Neckstrap
Attach the padded neckstrap in three simple steps.
Note: If using another type of strap, never attach metal o-rings
directly onto the strap attachment.
Lens Care
Maintain the optical brilliance of the binocular by keeping lens surfaces free of dirt, oils, and dust. Make use
of the provided eyepiece and objective lens covers to
protect the lenses when not viewing. Then, store in its
carry case between viewing sessions.
In order to enjoy the best views through your binocular,
take time to regularly clean the exterior lenses:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before
wiping. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel
hair brush, or an acrylic optical brush.
2. Clear lenses of smudges, fi ngerprints, or
eyelash oil. Fog the lenses with your own breath,
then use a non-abrasive lens cloth to clean the
lenses. Alternately, use a lens cleaning fl uid and
optical paper to clean lenses.
Caution: Binoculars are not intended for looking
at the sun, or any other intense light source. Such
viewing could damage the retina and cornea of your
eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.
Safety and Precautions
Do not stare into beam or view directly without laser
eye protection. Staring continuously into beam for prolonged periods of time could cause harm to your eyes.
If used properly, this device is safe for your eyes and
laser eye protection is not needed.
• Use the correct battery (CR2) and proper battery
orientation.
• Do not look at sun.
• Do not activate Menu or Measure buttons while
aiming at eye or looking into objective lens.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not allow children to play with unit.
