Default Range finder?

I am looking for a rangefinder but I am somewhat on a tight budget. (have to live the poor life while going to college) Maybe you guys can help me a little. I don' t want to spend anymore than $250 and I want a pair that will give me accurate and reliable performance. If you think that there isn' t anyway I can get a good rangefinder for this price please tell me, you will save me time and money. I will just have to wait and save for a better pair at a later date. But a few I have been looking at is the Bushnell 500DX, Bushnell CLR800 Laser, and the Buckmasters Laser 400. I really like the looks of the new Wind River rangefinder, but a little pricey for me. If you have heard of or experienced any of these or others in my price range please help me out a little. Thanks!

Default RE: Range finder?

I have the Bushnell Yardage Pro 500. I looked online at a lot of different places. EBAY had it for $145. Another had it for as much as $300. The best I found was for $175 at www.pricegrabber.com

This is my first season with and have been pleased. One thing about it that I' m not sure I like is it will not range below 20yds. On the other hand, the arrow placement is almost the same for the first 20yds with my bow and set up, so it doesnt' hurt me.

Hope this helps!

The Bushnell Yardage Pro 500 is the one I would recommend for you budget limitations. Very accurate and reliable.

I bought one for $199 out of sportsman' s guide, I feel it works very well for the price. That particular model is in their new catolague or i' m sure you can go online to find it.(sportsman' s guide.com)
