Bought one of these last year and it works for most of my purposes. If you have any small limbs in the way, however, you won't get a good reading. That's where the more expensive rangefinders earn their money.

I dopped the cash for a 440 before this last season and couldn't be happier with it. I've always had a problem judging yardage (off by 1 - 5 yards usually) and this rangefinder really helped this year.

if you use it for bowhunting only, the 440 is great. It's pretty tough to get a reading over 400 yards. personally i would spend 200$ and get a 600 off of ebay.
