Default RE: Good deal on rangefinders!!

Holy Crap! I guess I just found my Christmas present for this year!

TxCowboy, to answer your question, I went to the bathroom and got my November issue of Bowhunting World in which I had been thoroughly perusing the article on rangefinders in it.

Here's what it said about the Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport, retailing at $270.

"Just slightly larger and less versatile than the top-of-the-line Scout, the economical Sport was a strong performer in our accuracy test, with just one-yard discrepancies at the 30- and 40-yard marks.

"Company literature says the Sport has a 10-yard minimum range, but we got ours to range as close as 5 yards.

"We liked the large, easy-to-see LCD readout, and nice sighting picture (field of view is 320 feet at 1,000 yards). Magnification is 4x, again, a slight step down from the Scout but a good, welcome -- and easily noticeable -- step up from the units that offered none.

"The internal yards-to-meters switch is located in the battery compartment, and once flipped, will display one way or the other -- eliminaing confustion forced by some other units that require you to change in and out of these modes using the power button."

Thanks a bunch, Bent Arrow! I really appreciate it!!
