I love my Nikon! Works great for bow and gun hunting. The farthest I have ranged a deer with it was 478 yards.

I have a Bushnell, but when it comes to the angle compensation feature�get one without because they are a waste of money, unless you are going to be shooting at extreme angles with alot of distance.

I used a Bushnell 450 Sport for years. I did pretty much everything I wanted it to do. I bought a Leupold RX-600 a few weeks ago because I wanted a smaller one and one easier to use with one hand. So far, I like it as well.

Leupold makes the Vendetta. Its a bow mounted range finder. I have one on and they really come in handy for unexpected shots. They are priced about the same as other rangefinders. I think around $250.00

I agree...it only makes a couple yards difference and under 30 yards with a relatively fast bow that is not enough to cause a miss.

If I could do it all over again I would get a range finder with a lit up display. I think black numbers are worthless in low light. Problem is lit up displays are expensive. I have the Leupold 750...not all that great and totally over priced.

I agree with you about the black display being worthless in low light. I bought a redfield and played around with it at home when I decided that it wasn't going to cut so I went and bought a LP with the red led display. What a difference.

I used a lil small handheld about the size of a pack of cigs and love it especially for Bow hunting. A Bushnell, but dont recall the exact model. Its supposed to be good for 400 yards but anything past 350 and it gets flaky. More than enough for any shots I will take in TN however.

Spend the money. I bought a Halo last year, and it works fine as long as you have good light. When it starts getting low light, it sucks, but I guess for $79 I can't gripe.
