range finders
 
It looks like there will be one in my future. My nephew let me use his laser ranger on todays hunt. Dang what a useful tool. I have never used one hunting before.

I thought the same after using a range finder for the first time, though the very first range fnder was a thumb wheel alignment. It provided distance when the selected item was brought into focus. My latest is a vortex 1000, quite an improvement from the first and easy to use. There are many good brands out there that can be used for both archery and rifle. With today's technology there is no reason to guess at distance unless you are still hunting and jump a deer.

Archery hunting is the only reason I would like to get one. It was a handy little thing.

I bought a Simmons 450 some thing or other on sale for less than $100.00. Works as it is supposed to, I prerange things from deer blinds I put up so I know the yardage when I see a deer. A friend who uses those club things from a bag uses one to range his balls on a course, I don't know his brand but shows the same ranges to objects as mine.
