Default "HELP"- Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport{rangefinder}

With a suggested retail price of $179.99 is this the best laser rangefinder on the market today that is both accurate and economical for the price or is there a better brand or model for less money that I should consider for bow hunting only????....If you own this model or have used this model I would like to hear from you!!!!!!

i bought one last year and i love it, it is great i carry it with me all the time the one that i bought reads from 8 yds to over 400, and i know its very accurate up to 60 yds i have never checked it over that because i only use it for archery.... i give it a big thumbs up.
good luck.

Hunting with a bow brings about a different challenge on every hunt!!!

I brought mine this year and paid 165 for it delivered to the door.
I have been very impressed with it the yardages that I have ranged have been true.
I got it from www.Autumnchaseonline.com

I have the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout and love it! It is more compact than the Sport model. If I had to do it again, I would foot the extra bucks for the new waterproof model the "Legend". It would be worth not having to worry about getting the unit wet. I will tell you this, the sucker is a battery loving monster!!!! I remove the battery when not in use, it seems to solve the problem.

Aim Hard!

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago, and am very satisfied with it. It's accurate, and for the money I think it's a good deal. I'm using it for bowhunting, and will use it for varmints also.

I AM serious... >>--->

this past christmas my parents bought me a bushnell yardagepro sport . I love it , i have used it 30 times atleast to range deer.It works exseptionally well and is pretty much right on the money.The good thing about having a rangefinder is you can use it for so many things. I personally use mine to : range my target when practing, mark deer in the woods, and even as binoculars.

I hope that you purchase one , they r a great tool for this sport.

take your kids hunting and fishing

has anyone noticed how dark everything appears when you look through the rangefinder?
i have one of the old yardage pro 400 and everything looks real dark, really dark conpaired to my bushnell ledgend binos.

i was wondering if all the rangefinders are dark when you look at an object.
