Default RE: Bowhunting with a Range Finder?

I keep my RF tucked under my bino harness on my bow arm side. VERY rarely do I ever range a deer. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I haven't done it in at least 3 seasons. I range spots and lots of them... trees, rocks, cow pies, trails... whatever. Peopletell me that I'm going to confuse the distances of my spots, but somehow I have this... uncanny ability to remember numbers, so I use it. As soon as a deer is remotely close to in range and I plan on shooting, I'm clipped on and ready to rock, no time for anything else.

I'm way different than mobow. I still want pinpoint accuracy when I shoot a deer. I pick a single spot where I want my arrow to exit and that's where I shoot. I shoot multiple pins because I want to know EXACTLY where I'm shooting. Aim small miss small. When I shoot an elk at 47 yards, I don't want to be guessing where my 25 yard pin will hit. I want to set my 50 pin on the bottom of my spot and let it go...
