I really want to get a rangefinder, problem is at this juncture in my life, I can't afford to drop a couple hundred$ to get a nice one.

Anyone know of any good accurate range finders for under $100, preferable closer to $50? Or is this a case of you get what you pay for?

I've looked at some golf range finders, but I don't think they would work since they rely on the Pin as a known height from which to base the range. I'm not picky at all (can't afford to be) and I'd jump for a good used one in this range if anyone knows were a guy could find one that works!

Or am I better off using my eyes and instincts for now until I can afford a proper range finder?
