Ok...having never been a long range shooter, and looking to learn about it, I decided to do a little recon. I never shot past 100 yards at anything. First off, 500 yards is a long freakin way. At least to us on the east coast! I did a little measuring off of Google Earth and also paced of a few spots where I hunt. Distances are a lot shorter than they appear. Anyway, I don't see any need for a rangefinder that measures up to 1200 yards. So, what about some of those jobbies in the $200 range?
