I bow, ml and rifle hunt. A LRF has become a must pack item, likemy tagsI don't go hunting without it. My main use be it archery or gun hunting is to range markers in the area I'm hunting to know what yardage I am looking at when game arrives in those "areas" (pre range if you will). At longer range I will range the animal on the hoof so I know exactly how far it is. I also use it to set our targets for practice session. Sounds pretty familar??? I was continuely frustrated withother rangefinders so bit the bullet and bought the right product for my needs. If i had done that in the beginning I would have actually saved money[&:]. I understand budgets, so don't get me wrong but I've learned that saving and waiting isa more productive route to instant gradification and buying today.

If you can find a LRF that fits into your 150-200 budget and works spot on for what your asking, great! Please let us all know, as i have not.
