Thanks for all the info!! My lazer range finderfor bow hunting came yesterday, so my VariFlame should be here today or tomarrow. Heck I might as well use the rangefinder for ML season too. Even though I don't really need it for that. I got a surprise check so I went ahead and bought one for bow season. It was only $148 shipped for the Yardage Pro Sport 450 model. (cheapest) but they wanted $180+tax at Wally World. I had it out yesterday playing around with it and it really works good. Don't know about brush or rain, but it's supposed to have the built in feature. we'll see......
