Cabela's CLR 1200 Laser Rangefinder 199.88
Nikon ProStaff 550 Laser Rangefinder 199.99
I'm sure they both will range out to 300 yards.That's about the maximum distance I would be shooting.I'm wondering which would be better for archery?Also which model would work the best in wooded areas?Thanks

Not sure who makes the Cabelas units but Nikon's are usually decent too. Cabelas is good at returns if you don't like what you purchase. Personally, I prefer the Leica's but they are at a different level.

I also am looking and was leaning towards the Cabelas by Bushnell CLR 1200. For the price (clearance) it looks like it would range a little farther than other bottom end units. I want to be able to range a deer in a field. Some of the others only state like 200 yards on deer sized game. Give me some opinions as this will be my first. 200 hundred dollars is the most I can spend right now.

Cabelas states the CLR will range deer sized game to 400 yards. According to Nikons ads the New prostaff 550 will range deer sized objects to the as stated 550yards. I can't say as I have yet to use the new Prostaff 550 maybe somebody else can chime in this regard for you. However if I had to chose between either bushnell or nikon, I'd pick the nikon based on previous experience with their LRF's.
