Check out these bad boys...I have been eyeing them for awhile. They have built in range angle compensation and much, muchmore. I can't decide what model to get.

Check out the tab that says overview. See what is behind that range finder....YA it's not a Hoyt. Birds of a feather flock together. Just playing with you.

I got the Bushnell Yardage pro from Bass Pro this past season and
it worked for me. I just use it to range objects from my stand and it
did that job fine. I think it was 150.00. Some have better features
I'm sure, but it is all I needed.

I use the Nikon 440, It's a well built rangefinder and very accurate.However it could stand to be a little brighter in low light conditions. For now I can see right up to dark but as my 41 year old eyes age I canimagine where it might get tougher to see.

It's kinda strange comming from Nikon because there scopes are fantastic and you actually pick up more light through the scope as darkness fallsthan without. This is not the case with the 440 rangefinder though. That being saidI like it and still would recommened it.

I saw one in Sportsman's Guide that had a speed radar and also had the inclination feature.I think it was an Osprey International.

I have a Yardage Pro. Its waterproof. The Leupold is the coolest. I cannot figure out what kind of bow that is on the Leupold website thou. Its kinda fuzzy.
