Tim:

For strictly bowhunters....on a budget...."My" advice would be to forego the angle compesator equipped rangefinders and go with either the Nikon 440 or the Bushnell yardage pro 450. Both can be had for about $150, each.....with the edge going to the Nikon (and I own the Bushnell) due to its' ability to range through mesh (if one so chooses to hunt with the msh down, in a blind).

If one is going to use it in hilly terrain AND use it for gun hunting, as well.....then disregard and maybe get the angle compensator equipped models.

Just my .02
