I have also been looking at the leupold rangefinders. They are an excellent unit, that for sure, but they do seem to have too many bells and whistles for me. When I am looking at an animal I want to push a button and get a yardage. The TBR feature is awesome but you would have to have an extreme slope and a long range to make a difference. Iborrowed one out to try and was ranging some rocks on a very verysteep hill at 430 yds normal, TBR rangewas 407. only 23 yard difference and it was one hell of a steep shot. I decided that a 27 yard variance at over 400 yards would not make a big enough difference on my point of aim to matter. I also tried it at shorter distances for archery and most the time on as steep as a shot asI could take the shot,at 50-60 yards the TBR was only 1-2 yards difference. Again not enough of a change for me to justify the extra $$$ and complication. For a serious long range shooter for varmints or competition it may be nice but for hunting, I dont think so.

I was told a story by the sales guy at the store that a customer purchased one for a archery boar hunt and while hunting it accidentally got set to the 150 yard or greater setting and when he saw a pig he could not get a reading because it was at about 50 yards.

Who knows if the story was true, but in the past I have purchaseditems that were just a little too complicated. I went back to the "keep it simple" way of thinking. I ended up getting a great deal on a Bushnell Elite. It is a little big, but man it seemed to range anything and it is "simple"
