Problem with Swaro rangefinder?

[TimK]

I've had mine two years. From day one, I've had to aim high to get the correct range. For example, ranging an IPSC silhouette at 400 yards requires me to center the donut reticle on the head of the target. If I put it center mass, it ranges the dirt or something on the ground.

I called Swaro USA today, and the response was that it might be beam scatter bouncing off the ground, or swamp gas reflecting off Venus. It wasn't very satisfying.

I have two questions. Do any of you other Swaro owners experience this problem? Do owners of other rangefinders experience it?

Nope, does not sound at all right to me especially at only 400 yds?

I had one for a short time and that is exactly how mine was.
