RE: Rangefinder Preference?
I've had my Bushnell YP 400 for about 6 years...never
had a problem and the batteries last forever<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>. I've
considered one of the newer and smaller models, but
I just can't just justify it yet. I did look at a friends
Leica LRF 800 and was impressed with it.

I have the 500 and the Wife has the Sport which "clicks" when you push the button to range something but it is not really loud. My 500 is silent in operation and I believe is a better quality unit but the size of the Sport is very handy.

I have the Bushnell Scout and it works great for me. It will eat batteries if you leave them in the unit. It's a simple matter to just remove the battery after each hunt though. Apparently Bushnell has fixed the problem on later models.
I posted a review of this unit in the Bowhunting equipment forum several weeks ago. A search might turn it up.

coelkhntr, I bought a Bushnell Sport. It's a little bigger than the Scout, but not much. I couldn't see the extra money for features I'll never need. Just point & push the button. Who cares if you can do this in rain, zip, or scan mode, the result is the same. So far I'm very happy with my choice.

I got the Bushnell sport a couple of weeks ago and it does everything I want it to do.
It was priced right too at 165 delivered to my door.
Phil where did you get yours from??

I have a Bushnell Yardage Pro and it is a battery hog!!! Works great, but seems to eat batteries when not in use. I just pull the battery when I am not using it, problem solved
