Japanese fire was also more accurate because they were using the latest issued (1903) Barr and Stroud FA3 coincidence rangefinder, which had a range of 6,000 yards (5,500 m), while the Russian battleships were equipped with Liuzhol rangefinders from the 1880s, which only had a range of about 4,000 yards (3,700 m).
Den japanske beskydning var også mere præcis, fordi de brugte den nyeste (1903) Barr & Stroud FA3 afstandsmåler, som havde en rækkevidde på 5.400 meter, mens de russiske slagskibe var udstyret med Liuzhol afstandsmålere fra 1880'erne, som kun havde en rækkevidde på omkring 3.600 meter.
