I'll be walking down the street beaming clicking way with a thing like that on an M9. Just set it at its closest and leave it there for a few rolls. F 28 inches and be there. Anything further away than 6 feet magically disappears; turns to tiny specks. Just climb right up to them till you can see their nostril hairs and click away. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
