Default RE: Rangefinders w/ ARC etc.???

Prior to hunting IL I would have argued that they are worthless other than ranging the target no different than any other, however when I was 23' up in a Walnut stand and ranged a gate where deer where jumping in and out of a pasture, I ranged it at 39 yards. There was nothing to range that was level from me and the gate was well down hill.

I had a chance to make a change and I snuck out and sprayed down the gate area with some estrous doe aerisol spray and I ranged back to the base of my tree, it was 34 yards, not 39 yards. In some circumstances, there is something to them after all but on flat land, not necessary.
