RE: Rangefinders
I have an older bushnell 400 and like it. I wish I had spent the extra money on a lieca though. Much better optics than the bushy.
I range a perimeter around my stand when I get up there then put it up. You won't have time to use it when the deer actually come in. But this way if I know the distance to certain objects around me if the deer walks inside that circle I know I can take him. There is no guess work to it, I just draw and shoot with complete confidence.
