Default Need reccomendation

I hunt with bow and rifle. Would like some suggestions on a rangefinder that works for both.

Prior I owned bushnell and nikons, but now use lieca for bow, ml and rifle. Better optics, LED read out, battery life and ranging (returns the same range everytime).

Open ended question...
Most any range finder should work for Bow as well. I cannot figure why it wouldn't. The big question is how far do you shoot? If you shoot 400 yards then a 500 jard LRF may not work. Most range finders are measured/named by how far away they can lase a building. Bushed and animals are normally shorter distances. This will also vary by brand. A 600 yard Bushnell and a 600 yard Nikon will not neccessarily have the same range for a deer.

Hope this helps but there will be a lot of research on your part to make an informed decision.
