That means it can still range reflective targets out to 4,000 yards and less-reflective targets such as deer out to 2,200 yards. It also has the same four target modes (Normal, First, Last and ELR) as well as the Horizontal Component Distance (HCD) range mode that compensates for angles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app.jpg\" alt=\"Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app\" class=\"wp-image-288957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app.jpg\" alt=\"Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Razor-HD-4000-GB-geoballistics-app-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The only readily apparent difference is the addition of some buttons that pertain to the device\u2019s new GeoBallistics functions, such as the BAL range mode. In this mode, the on-board GeoBallistics solver uses inputted ballistic data and surrounding environmental data to tell you exactly how to dial windage and drop compensation for a target at a given range. The device uses Bluetooth to pair with the GeoBallistics smartphone app (purchasing the Razor HD 4000 GB unlocks the \u201cPro\u201d version of the app as well) where custom profiles can be built and uploaded to the device. The rangefinder comes preloaded with three common ballistic profiles and the app features a bullet library, but completely custom profiles can be added too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display.jpg\" alt=\"Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display\" class=\"wp-image-288958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display.jpg\" alt=\"Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-display-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The device also features on-board temperature, pressure and humidity sensors as well as the ability to take that data from a local airport. Wind measurements can either be entered into the rangefinder manually, taken from a paired Kestrel device or obtained using the rangefinder\u2019s new Wind Bearing Capture Mode. This mode uses the Razor\u2019s built-in compass and wind speed gauge to determine the wind\u2019s strength and direction. After capturing this, the device provides accurate windage corrections regardless of which way it\u2019s pointed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle.jpg\" alt=\"Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle\" class=\"wp-image-288959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-672x420.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle.jpg\" alt=\"Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-288959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vortex-Razor-HD-4000-GB-lifestyle-672x420.jpg 672w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty more that could be said about Vortex\u2019s new Razor HD 4000 GB, but we\u2019ll save that for the full review we have planned.
