Optilogic tilt compisator is THE rangefinder for treestand bowhunting , you wont find one for that price thou . I think nikon has bought some of the paten so you should be seeing and tilt compesator from them allso .

I'm a bit ol' fashioned. All my areas that I frequent have been paced off during the off season. When I settle down after year round scouting to pace off the real sweet spots I again pace them off in 10 yds increments/ 360 degrees/out to 30 yds. I mark yardage with an X on 10/20/30 trees. In open areas I drive tomato stakes and mark likewise. It's great exercise, more time afield to learn and real inexpensive!!

I've owned two Bushnells: The 400 and the 600. Very reliable, but they both read a yard short (not a big deal, but it would've been just as easy for them to get it right), and both lasers hit below the reticle box (could give you a short reading at the wrong time; another thing they could've done right without spending an extra dime).

I got tired of toting both a laser and a bino, so I finally sprung for the new Wind River 8x32 bino/rangefinder. $700, but worth it to me.

Bino\rangefinder combo. Now that is something to think about. I will be buying both, so maybe is should buy a combo. Will have to look into that.

I owned the Bushnell Yardage Pro (until it was stolen) and replaced it with the Nikon 400. I would have to say that the Nikon 400 is the better unit for the money. You may want to check Ebay out I bought mine there new in the box for $165.00.

I vote for the bushnell ,I have an 800 for that reason that I can use it for bow or rifle .I also hunt moose and looking into and across small valley's this rangefinder gives me a better judgement on the distance It's a little more than $200.00 but it's very well worth it .I wouldn't leave home without it now.

If you can find my Bushnell yardage pro 400 that I lost during the bow season,
I'll let you have it for 30 bucks.[:'(]
