Using the Pinning Feature on the Leupold RX-5000 TBR/W

When does a rangefinder become more than just a useful tool? Well, it happens when you can't leave home without it. The Leupold RX-5000 TBR/W brings a lot to the table—ballistics calculations, wind adjustments, long-range capability—but one of its most useful features might be pinning.

This function allows you to laser range a target and send that precise location directly to your OnX Hunt, Google Maps, or Apple Maps using the Leupold Control app. It’s a straightforward way to mark a spot and revisit it later—whether you're tracking a downed animal, marking a location across a canyon, or just keeping tabs on a point of interest.

Use Case Ideas:
Tracking game: Shoot across a canyon, pin where the animal fell, and navigate directly to it without second-guessing landmarks.
Scouting trips: Mark rubs, beds, or travel corridors to review later or share with others.
Search and rescue: Mark the last known location of someone or something and send the pin to responders.
Non-hunting use: Birdwatchers, hikers, or land surveyors can drop pins on hard-to-reach or notable locations for navigation or documentation.
Team coordination: Share pins with others in your group for better planning during hunts or range work.
