rangefiner
hey guys i am looking for a range finder something under 300 but i would like something more around 200
I would like a angle finder type. what would you recommend Also i would be open to a good used one if someone has one they want to sell |

Tim:
For strictly bowhunters....on a budget...."My" advice would be to forego the angle compesator equipped rangefinders and go with either the Nikon 440 or the Bushnell yardage pro 450. Both can be had for about $150, each.....with the edge going to the Nikon (and I own the Bushnell) due to its' ability to range through mesh (if one so chooses to hunt with the msh down, in a blind). If one is going to use it in hilly terrain AND use it for gun hunting, as well.....then disregard and maybe get the angle compensator equipped models. Just my .02 |
RE: rangefiner
Check out that new ARCHERS CHOICE by nikon...it only goes out to 80 yrds cause its strictly for bowhunters but it has that true angle or something like that but look in to it i think there like 150-180$ not bad though....

RE: rangefiner
Tim...
The difference on a 20 yd shot.....from 20 ft. up.....is +/- ONE yd. I'm not saying it's not needed for ALL hunting purposes....but for your average bowhunter (and I think the shot I depict is a fair representation of "normal" bowhunting)...."I" feel it's not worth the extra $$ they are asking. Again....just my personal opinion. Good luck;) |
RE: rangefiner
I just bought the Nikon 550 prostaff from BPS for $199.

RE: rangefiner
I second GMMAT's comments. I've had no problemwith that Nikon. The angle dangle thingy isn't worth the extra $$. Just use some of that simple trig you learned in school ;)
