Putting food on the table is top priority next to a roof over my head...
Top quality tools and a sharp pencil keep a roof over my head and a
Leica contributes to putting food on the table..

The best and certainly most popular rangefinders for the majority of bowhunters I know are the Bushnell 450 and even more so, the Nikon. The Nikon for only $200 has a ton of fans, is very accurate and features a RED LED display which can be seen much better than the Bushnell models. That being said though, either LRF will do a great job for ya this season. Good luck and good huntin'

Ihave never seen a NIkon with the red led display. Is there one particular model that has it? I was told only Leica rangefinders had the red led readout.

The Bushnell 450 ranges right around 400 yards. I've never experienced much pass 400 yards limit. I hope i answered your question promptly, if you have any others ask away. Thanks
