I was curious if anyone here has this product. Thoughts? Does it make a world of difference? I would use it strictly for bowhunting and my max height is about 20 ft. average stand around 17 ft....
The 100 max is no biggy for me at all.....

Ive used one for 2 seasons, no complaints so far. I will say that the arc or whatever its called is a huge gimmick. The difference of distance from the ground and the stand is about a half a yard or so, not enough to change your aim.

Used my Archers Choice on about 5 hunts so far this year. I REALLY like it....its simple to use...I dont want several programs or formats to confuse me at critical times when hunting. I always take measurements of certain trees and commit the distance to memory...usually, I make note of where all the 20 yard trees are...once that is done, when a deer enters my area, I KNOW pretty much know that if he/she is within the 20 yrd. zone(s); I will have little to no problems putting the right pin on the animal. It releaves a lot of unwanted anxiety. I NEVER wait for the animal to come-in and then measure his distance; I believe that's a huge mistake....I need to be concentrating (consistently) on positioning myself; my bow; relative to the animal at any given moment. All in all.... I would not want to be without it now.

i bought one this year and its a pretty decent rangefinder. i just wish it would go more than 100 yards out

The only time the angle comensation would be useful is if you are shooting up or down hill at extreme angles....if you are hunting 20' up in a tree on relatively flat ground then it is less than 1 yard difference.

have had one for 2 season's got mine mostly for sheep and goat hunts. I have been pleased but last sept hunting ranged what might have been a B & C caribou biggest in herd of 11. I was walking parrell or diagonal to the moving group over edge of river bank. i was below from chest of bull by 3-4 feet , not significant for the arc. ranged at 29, I did not beleive it was over 20. reranged....29, nothing but sky behind bull that i could see. below his belly i could see quite a ways. I believed my range finder and shot over the bull. paced off later and it was right at 20???? not sure what happened there. I have rehecked range finder multiple times since it has been right on???? so i don't know if it was me or the range finder, it felt like a good release on my part. and had arrowed a smaller bull 4-5 days before at close to 30 yards.
