RE: rangefinder vs. steping off yardage?
I have both types of rangefinders and have basically retired the Ranging split image type for my use. The laser is far superior and very accurate. I taped out my field archery range to 80yds and the laser was right on at each yardage to the extent that if I would lean back and forth while standing over a yardage distance the yardage would change within inches of movement. The split image type is harder to use and is not nearly as accurate, I lend mine out to hunting guests who do not have a rangefinder.
Aim Hard!
