Range Finder

I'm on the market for a range finder.....any recommendations good or bad would be helpful......thanks

Going to be looking for one myself, my dad has a Redfield attached to his xbow for a few years now and likes it.

I've got a Simmons and a Leupold. Both good. The Leupold Has a compensator for angle shots.

I have the Bushnell arc 1000. I like it as I find it is easy to use and compact. It has the angle compensation and different settings for rifle ammo use.

I guess from the lack of replies it would be safe to say that not to many people use range finders.....my cousin has one and I used it the other day....I cant believe how accurate it is.....takes a lot of the guessing and miscalculation of distance out of the equation when that animal steps into view...

I bought one of those cheaper Bushnell range finders not sure the model but picked it up on sale for $120 I think, its really good for 200yds or less, not so good past that. Since I use it mostly for bow hunting its great, really accurate too. If you are interested in the make let me know and I will dig it out.

Best thing to do is google each model you are thinking about, and check the reviews. I did all that and opted for a Nikon. There is lots of good information on the "Internet machine.".....

i have a vortex ranger 1000 great unit no complaints.

I have and use the Nikon Prostaff 400? or 480. Good to about 400 yds on a perfect day. It gets used frequently and is probably 10 yrs old. No issues whatsoever.

When I arrive to my chosen hunting spot I will usually range a few trees or rocks around my perimeter to use as a range reference point. this way when my targeted game comes into the area I already have a general idea of how far they are and if they are in my comfort shot range. Another thing is to look at what batteries the range finder you are looking for take. The Bushnell I have the replacement battery is about $20.00. Was not expecting that when I needed to replace it.
