A method of acquiring a range to a tracked target, comprising the steps of: (a) aiming a hand-held aimable device that includes: (i) a user display , (ii) a tracker , said tracker is an electro-optic tracker that receives an image of the target from an image sensor and tracks the target even outside an FOV of said user display and (iii) a range finder , so that an indicator , in said user display, that indicates a line-of-sight "LOS" in which said device is pointing, is sufficiently close to the target, thereby selecting the target; (b) locking said tracker on the selected target; (c) using said tracker to aim said range finder at the target, characterised in that said tracker is adapted to aim a pulsed laser beam from said range finder at the target that is off the LOS by: (i) directing a two-dimensional tilting mirror that directs said pulsed laser beam and (A) receiving said laser light that is reflected by the target on a receiver that is fixed relative to the aimable device, or (B) reflecting off said mirror, said laser light that is reflected back by the target, onto said receiver, or (ii) by aiming both a laser source and a receiver, which are mounted on a gimbal that tilts in two dimensions, at the target; and (d) measuring a range to the target, using said range finder .
