I was waiting for someone to take that out of context. <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> Rangefinder use or non-use has nothing to do with wounding. Rather than being lured into taking longer shots because I can pinpoint some distance (38.5 yds perhaps) with a mechanical device, I prefer to be more selective in my ambush location so I'm afforded ideal shots under 25 yds...ranges I can estimate well and where a rangefinder becomes little more than expensive excess baggage. If a deer is farther and I don't know the yardage, I either try to sneak closer or the deer simply walks...it's part of the game to me. I know they are poplular, but I enjoy hunting &quot;light&quot; with a bow, some arrows, and my own abilities. To each his own.
