Laser Rangefinders, what is everyone using??
ok, I am curious to see what rangefinders everyone is using for bowhunting. Last night I looked at the Bushnell Scout 1000 w/ARC & the Nikon Archer's Choice model. Both seemed very "dark" & I would hope or think their would be brighter optics with the compactness & lightweight but reasonably priced. I saw the commercial for the RX1000 (I think thats what it was).
Anyone else using different gadgets??

Look into Leica. They have red readouts that show up so much better in dark conditions than some of the other brands. A bit spendy perhaps, but quality Leica glass helps make them effective for viewing animals, not just rangefinding. I'm using mine for the 9th year, and only the 4th battery (9v).

Leupold RX-II with the Inclinometer. Really nice, but the newer models now have an illuminated display... that would certainly be a requirement if I was in the market for one nowadays. I'd hate to have 2 minutes of shooting light left and not be able to see my range reading when Bob the Bruiser steps into your shooting lane!
