.30kal, that is great, any techniques you have found to help reach that distance?
I had issues getting past 1000 yd the first couple times, but using prone with both elbows on the ground or off a pack helps a lot. The beam isn't necessarily centered, so find out where within the reticle it is strongest by incrementally ranging small targets and hold the button down to get multiple readings. It's not the best RF, but the pairing with the Kestrel is great and is why I bought it. I got such a good deal last year on the package with the rebate that I basically got the RF for free. I'm glad Sig is going to be supporting BT with the Kestrel, but I don't trust their reliability and their glass (plastic) sucks. If Leica will follow suit, I'm dumping the Conx for sure.
G'day, Sorry for not replying sooner, The key to getting constant returns with the ConX is stability, I had the same troubles as you and I found that my breathing and heartbeat was the cause, The Target/Bulls eye mode it the correct one to use but I feel happier using the Tree/Brush Mode, The beam on the ConX should be slap ang in the middle of the Aiming Circle, I tested mine by Ranging a CB Ariel at 229yds hand held and sure enough it is in the middle, Other folks have said that they have more success using the ranging mode which is where you do not have any Icon on the screen.Having mixed results getting hits on steel.

If found that if you just press the button real quick it wont work well but if you hold it down you get much better results. Its almost like as it gets further out there is less of a chance that it bounces back straight into the machine, holding it down sprays out a bunch more beams making the chances of one getting back higher.
Cool, well that last Photo is almost equal to a 1 mil X 1 mil target at that range of 1446yds, and the first is equal to a 1/4 mil X a 1/2 mil at 1124yds So that is pretty impressive, Well done,Took me a bit to figure this out as I was used to the speed of the sig kilo 2k. At longer distances it's common to have to hold the button down for up to 3-4 sec to get a reading, which of course does not help at all with stability. When paired with a tripod or very solid support with a long button press I can usually get a good return on steel "targets" out to 1300yds overcast, 1000yds in full sun.

12"x24" steel @ 1119-1125yds verified by gps, radius, sig, leica.

Farthest return I read although it is larger than what I would call a target. Approx 5'x5' runway indicator sign.
How far was he ranging stuff ?FYI - just picked one up via Amazon Prime for $384.99 and paid an additional 6.99 for next day delivery. Vendor only has 5 more available - Billy Bob's Bass. Brought it to work and one of my co-workers purchased one after ranging objects from our parking lot.
Stability might be limiting you. I can get returns from boulders on a hill at ~1100 in middle of the day when I rest my elbows. I'm not steady enough to do that without some support.Mine is consistent handheld on an ipsc out to 650ish, after that it wont give me crap.
May need to try supporting it better.
