Is it the same with the Velocity 660 and 1100? 330 yards and 550 yards effective distance on game?




Yes, any rangefinder mfg is going to claim maximum distance which would be a reflective target (same as gas mileage on new cars is obtained at 55 MPH on a level or downhill, lol).
The 660 would be good on light colored game to about 350/400, dark colored game to about 300/350
The 1100 I would say 600/650 and 500/550
