All my hunting partners and I, have, use, and swear by Magellan [315's]. If I ever need to replace mine it would be another Magellan.

Accuracy . . . to the foot.

An interesting story: For opening archery elk I found crossing trails in the Eastern Washington Cascade Mountains and around a three + mile hike from camp and set up my stand, camoflaged it, and marked it with my GPS. On opening morning I followed the GPS right to the stand area but could not find the stand in the super darkness. I had camoflaged it too well and my tree steps are the folding kind and I had them folded against the tree. I decided to sit at the base of a tree that the GPS led me to and wait for enough daylight to see the stand and get into position. When there was enough light I started looking. The last place I looked was the tree under which I sat. Sure enough my stand was 16 feet directly above my head.

Twenty-five minutes later I passed on a cow, hoping for a better shot at the third one in line. She winded me and I lost the only chance I was to get this season.

BUMMER!
