Default Who all uses Rangfinders?

and if so what kind?

I have a few bucks saved up and wanted to get one before hunting season. I don't want to spend over $250 and have found a few that are under that.

What does everyone else use?

I started using one last year and it is very handy. I usually range objects when I get
in the stand so I will know yardages when a deer comes out. I got the Bushnell Yardage
Pro and I think I gave about 150.00 from Bass Pro for it last year.

I wouldn't go in the woods without mine. I use a Bushnell Yardage Pro, very small, fits in my pocket.

I use one of the old style rangefinders, about the size and weight of a brick (LOL). With two daughters in colledge, my money is limited. I also range my hunt area when I first get there then put it away.

I wouldn't hunt without one. Just too handy and compact not to use. If you have the bucks (no pun intended) saved up, then definitely worth the buy.

The inexpensive Bushnell, can't remember the exact model. It's +/- 1 yard and that's close enough for me.

I looked at the Bushnell Yardage Pro, simply because of it's price. I had heard that it was quitting on some people.

I also checked out a Leupold, but I can't think of the model right now. It was $250.

I use the Nikon Pro Staff 440. Very small and very good optics. About $200.

I use this one also, I think it's really nice and works very well.. When I go back out west I will buy a new Bushnell Elite though, really nice....
