My green laser which I received from Steve is now reported by him to be a 130 mW Evolution Pro. It looks like the one Kenom received so I won't bore you with more pictures.
Tonight, I tried measuring beam divergence using such scientific tools as: laser mount, Nikon Laser range finder, digital calipers and a flat chunk of hardwood charcoal !!!!
Test 1 ranged from 12.5' to 48' and showed a calculated divergence of 1.01 mRad. This seems to support reports of a tight beam mentioned by others here.
Test 2 went from 25' to 162' -- from a close stump to a neighbor's shed. The beam on the shed was wider than my charcoal but non-scientific results result in 0.636 mRad which seems outside expectations likely due to unreliable targets.
This is what I have so far for this aspect of the model. Others have done very well reporting the other aspects of this laser.

That picture of me is a far cry from my cowboy avatar !!!
