I need a new rangefinder, this will primarily be for bowhunting, but I like having the ballistic options, moa/mils, etc...

I definitely want angle compensation for bowhunting.

I'd love that leica I think but really can't spend $500-600 on a rangefinder, wanted to spend 200-300 but if 400 would get me something much better and I'll have for the next 10/20years that'll work.

From what I've read it looks like that bushnell DX or leupold are my choices, I have one of the first nikon rangefinders and its still going strong, my dad got a leupold and I wasn't crazy about it, but that was a number of years ago.

recently saw/read this review...

thanks.

I use a Nikon Monarch 800 and a Bushnell 1200 for long range.

I'd buy a Nikon, particularly if a needed it for bow hunting.

My Nikon is great under 350 yards............... that should be enough for bow hunting - LOL

The big brands all offer a "ARC" feature now.

gave way when I saw the price.

Learned distance in my younger 3D days when bows were a lot slower. And the drop of the arrow in feet was a lot greater. Had to learn without a angefinder. Practiced distance while on hikes. Another bad habit of mine-walking.
Still use the old arm for 20 yarders. Sure broke up the long hikes. Even have a straight away for judging 100 and 200 yarders.

Guess there's not many old timers before electronics took over hunting. Except for practice, didn't spend two dimes for rangefinding.

alot of guys are really having luck with the vortex.
