I think light travels faster than sound, so as you perceive the 800 yds image, head to the sonar/ or ask the SO, there is latency and probably the target moved 500 yds?? maybe the SO isnt that experienced..
I dont use sonar except to estimate range when I'm submerged without periscope UP...
Besides, the stadimeter can give more accurate reading as light travels faster than sound..
