Default RE: rangefinder

For bow hunting, it is more important to have a range finder that is accurate to 100 yards and a good reflective range - especially in bad conditions such as rain and snow than it is to have one that is good to 800 yards with all kinds of fancy knick knacks and do dad's.

For shooting with a rifle, a 800 yard range finder is good if you live someplace where you can see and shoot 800 yards. But is not as much use if you hunt someplace where you only shoot 100 to 300 yards.

For those situations, again, it isn't as important - what gee gaws and knick knacks it has as it is it's reflective range. How it performs in the rain and snow.

I like the Bushnell and also the Nikon, both good range finders for the money.
