Range Finder???
 

I think my wife is going to get me a range finder for my B-Day but I have to pick one out.I know nothing about range finders so I need suggestions.Not sure if it matters but I hunt in fairly thick woods and probably wont get a shot over 35 yards.Myself I probably wont try one over 25 yards.

I have a $150 Bushnell Yardage Pro. It's a cheap one but it seems to work Great.

So why do you need a rangefinder if you are in thick woods and not shooting over 25 yds.??

RE: Range Finder???
 

I'm new to bowunting and figure it will help cut down on guessing yardage.Plus my birthday is a good time for me to get one.

Most range finders don't range within 10 yards. You probably be better off just training yourself to identify 15, 20, 25, 30 yard points.

I use a Leupold RX-II... i love it but it is also over $300.00 , but hopefully it will last me a lifetime. The minimum range is 3 yards

RE: Range Finder???
 

What do you mean? Are you saying it won't range closer than 10 yards?

RE: Range Finder???
 

What's your budget? I have the Nikon 440, cost around $200, water resistant, compact, and it will range out to 400 yards, probably less for a deer sized target. All you'll ever need for archery hunting anyway.
