I have a Nikon prostaff 440 and a Bushnell Yardage pro. like them both. My preferance is theNikon, but the Bushnell just feels better in my hand. I let my oldest use/have the nikon. They both work as advertised and do the trick for me.
On the archers choice, I have used one but didnt feel at the time I needed one for where I hunt. Midwest,closerange 30-40yrds max. Not that they don't / won't work, just not a big deal to me. I just find a tree close to my shooting lane and target it at the same level as my stand.
But now I am planning a OR elk hunt and a real need to see how much drop/rise I am shooting on might be a must...hope this helps

I use the Nikkon 440 and it works well for me . The archers choice isn't necessary for the price

x2, except for the color. Unless you're in very steep terrain the angle correction feature of the archers choice isn't neccessary. For archery hunting you'd have to be 40 feet up a tree for it to make a difference.

As I said in another thread tonight, the Nikon Archer's Choice would be the rangefinder I'd buy if I were buying one today. But I also hunt in SE Ohio where I may set my stand on a finger of a ridge, and the shots I may take may be from 40-60ft above the animal but only horizontally 25-30yds.
