Why do you use a rangefinder?
I didn't want to ask on the other thread.....so I thought I'd ask here.
First off....if you're hunting out west (elk, mulies, pronghorn, etc...)...I FULLY understand why you would use one....and commend you for doing so.
My question is really for the whitetail hunter that hunts wooded areas. If your bow has a big drop from 20 to 30 yds......I can see it being utilized for "peace of mind". I, again, comend you for your forethought. But it "seems" (based on all the 'how fast is your bow' threads) that most of us are shooting rigs that have little 'drop' in 30 yds. I know I shoot top pin to that distance....and I'm sure some of you do, too.
If I have to guess as to whether a shot is too far to take......I've learned that it IS. If I can't tell they're inside 30 yds or not.....I'm not shooting (PERSONAL choice.....NOT saying YOU shouldn't).
I know it's an unpopular stance, "probably".....but I think the range finder for MY purposes is overrated.
Am I wrong?
