Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder (LRF-CF1400)
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect go-to laser rangefinder for bow and rifle hunters alike, you’ve found it in the Crossfire HD 1400. Not only does the Crossfire HD 1400 have everything you need and nothing you don’t, it’s a lightweight powerhouse that’s at home in a bowhunter’s pack and in an ultralight hunter’s loadout. With a 1,400-yard max range (750 on deer), you get plenty of power to range and, thanks to the HD optical system, you’ll have the power to pick apart any landscape. To match any hunting environment, the Crossfire HD 1400 has three target modes (Normal, First, Last) and two ranging modes (HCD and LOS). A red TOLED display keeps the readout clear in any lighting conditions and, at just 4.8 ounces, the Crossfire HD 1400 hunts hard and carries light.
HCD (Horizontal Component Distance) Mode
The HCD range display is intended to be the primary mode—used for most rifle and archery shooting conditions. The yardage number displayed is the critical horizontal component distance.
The displayed HCD yardage number is corrected for shot angle and needs no extra user input; shooters simply use the appropriate level ground drop and wind adjustment for the range displayed and shoot. Archers use the appropriate level ground sight pin for the range displayed and shoot.
Use the HCD range mode in the following situations:
• Rifle shooting on level ground at any range.
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 800 yards with mild slopes (less than 15 degrees).
• Rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards with moderate slopes (15 to 30 degrees).
• For all archery shooting.
LOS (Line of Sight) Mode
The LOS (Line of Sight) mode is intended for rifle shooters who are using slope correcting ballistic drop data cards, ballistic solvers and who are shooting at distances beyond 500 yards and with slopes greater than 15 degrees. Most shooters and archers will not need the LOS mode.
The range number displayed in LOS mode is the actual line of sight range with no ballistic correction for slope. Most of the commonly used ballistic devices can provide independent slope correction for drop data and require actual line of sight range input. Using the LOS range when calculating wind drifts under these steep slope/long range conditions will provide a higher degree of accuracy than using the HCD range.
To use, simply input the LOS range number into the electronic device or use the LOS range when referencing ballistic drop cards with slope correction.
Scan Feature
Activate Scan Ranging by pressing and holding the “Measure” button. Keeping the button depressed will continuously measure distance as you pan back and forth across target objects. The reticle will blink as you pan. Releasing the “Measure” button will return laser to the Power Up condition.

Vortex is becoming the leader in everyday hunter optics. Love the lifetime guarantee with their products. For good solid optics which perform out in the real woods of Washington State you can’t beat Vortex. These RF are compact, accurate and more importantly, have great clarity. Sure they are not the High End optics you can buy, but then they are affordable for most of us hunters. These RF complete my Vortex collection of Fury HD binoculars, Vortex Rifle Scope.

I love the small size and ease of use of this rangefinder. The view is crisp along with the digital read out. It’s lightweight and fits great in hand. The quality is unmatched. It’s easy to function and they have a variety of function on it making it useful for many things. Great value for the money.

Nothing but praise for this rangefinder. It’s very light weight, red numbers for easy viewing, very fast at giving the yardage and great optics. There are many more features. If you are looking to purchase a rangefinder look no further…this is it!!!

Relatively basic rangefinder, but it works well and is a great value. Love that it has a lifetime warranty. Replaced my failed Leopold rangefinder that was 5 years old, cost 3 times as much, and was out of warranty.

This is my first range finder so I’m not able to compare to others. Brought it turkey hunting several times and have found it very useful. I could range deer up to about 300yrds. Past that and the magnification is a bit weak to hold steady. Pros: super lightweight, fast read out, clear objective glass, accurate, and user friendly. Cons: somewhat clunky menu for adjustments but simple to use, I’d like stronger magnification, menu button location isn’t ergonomic for me and hard to find in the dark, has a plastic feeling in the hands.

Boy what a nice difference this range finder makes at the shooting range (outdoor range). I can set up my targets at whatever distance I want, and I will know what the distance from my shooting table is with this range finder. It’s easy to use and it’s a Vortex, so I know it’s a quality tool to use and to have in my range bag. I won’t go to the range anymore without it. It’s that reliable! Very happy with this purchase and really glad I have it with me when I go shooting now. Highly recommend!
