RE: Range Finder
I have three rangefinders,
Bushnell 400 (10 years oldhuge, and heavy!)
Bushnell Trophy (perfect for most archers) pocket sized and easy on the wallet too!
Leica 1200 Rangemaster ($599) Its best rangefinder on the market for ranging long distances IMO,but out of your price range and not needed for archery hunting.
The Bushnell Trophy cost $199 green, or $219 for camo. Cabelas also gives you a $20 mail inrebate. The Trophy goes from 5 yards out to 800 yards. For the money its a dang good rangefinder, its what I use for archery. Not quite as small as the Scout but its still pocket sized and easy to use with one hand.
