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).

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. 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.
