i need a range finder

RE: i need a range finder
 

I have the Leica LRF 900 and have no regrets but the Leica Geovid rangfinder binoculars makes for a good combo , just to rich for my blood...

I have a Nikon Laser 800 and absolutely love it.

i ususally lick my finger and put it in the air.....oh, wait thats wind. ummmm i dont have one so i guess i just put the bead on the heart and if its kinda farther away, i raise 'er up;)

but seriouslyi dont know anything about them, do they even help at all?

RE: i need a range finder
 

One of the best investments a hunter couldmakein my opinion! To be an effective shooter(no matter with what weapon), youMUST know your distances. A rangefinder takes all or most of the guess work out of the equation. I use a Nikon Pro 440. That one works great for me, because I bow hunt 99% of the time and don't really need anything better. You may want to step up a little bit if you expect to range longer distances more frequently.

Good Luck!

I had one I would of given you. But I got mad at a guy who run in to the back of my car on I-79 in West Virginia and did not stop.when He went around me the only thing I had was my range finder on the front seat.So as he made his escape I picked up the range finder and threw it and busted the guys side window.Then a whole bunch of cars drove over the Bushnell range finder

Wide Duplex® RE
Place game of approximately 16" in height in the ranging bracket on the lower picket, and turn the power selector until it fits into this space, then read the numbers on the rear of the power selector ring to get an estimate of the range (“3” for 300 yards, etc).

RE: i need a range finder
 

The duplex may give you a ballpark estimate if you only hunt smaller deer.However if you hunt large deer,elk or moose,the duplex method is pretty much useless.

Cardeer I cant believe you would do such a thing:D. All the money it took to buy that and you threw it at an idiot that hopefully got caught. Wheres a good shotgun when you need one.

RE: i need a range finder
 

You'll want to consider what kind of habitat you're hunting. I assume you hunt Texas? If you hunt mostly pretty open areas, the cheaper brands will do just fine, even the ones made for golf :). The higher end brands are more precise andwon't give false reading when you have something like grasses, twigs, etc in the way. I have a Bushnell and it works good if I'm not in thick stuff.

Itstates right in the instructions that you postedthat the game has to be approximately 16".Even our largeCanadian bucks are larger and moose and elk are much larger.As such the system does not work for these animals.

:D:D:D:DStubble, the animal you select has to be no less than 16" in height. Who has seen any deer 16" in height?
Thats less than a foot an ahalf tall. Even the smallest deer in the US is over 16" tall (Florida Keys Deer).

Then perhaps you should use the address that you posted and you shouldbe the one totell Leupold that they are full of crap since I used their directions that you posted.:D:D:D
