Wash, outdoors does have the upper hand on you. He is a whole year older than you, was thinking he might be10 or 20 years older.

Now back to the question with someone that has used one of those products. I have used the Leuopold RX-II had one for a year. The arc I do like find it useful in some situations especially steep terrain. The rangefinder got to where it would not hit a target but maybe 3 of 10 attempts. I returned it an got a Nikon an it is fast an will hit a target every time.
