I agree with bowhntt. I purchased the Bushnell elite 1500 with arc this year. If your just going to be bow hunting i wouldn't spend all the money. One of my stands is about 25 ft high and when ranging a deer at 19 yards, with the angle calculated in was 18 yards, even when shooting almost straight down there is not much difference. But i think gun huntingiswhere it will shine, the rangefinder comes with aballistics chart, you find what corrolates best with the round you are shooting and the rangefinder will tell you how much bullet drop there will be along with compensating for angle.
