Range Finder???
I think my wife is going to get me a range finder for my B-Day but I have to pick one out.I know nothing about range finders so I need suggestions.Not sure if it matters but I hunt in fairly thick woods and probably wont get a shot over 35 yards.Myself I probably wont try one over 25 yards.

Most range finders don't range within 10 yards. You probably be better off just training yourself to identify 15, 20, 25, 30 yard points.

RE: Range Finder???
What's your budget? I have the Nikon 440, cost around $200, water resistant, compact, and it will range out to 400 yards, probably less for a deer sized target. All you'll ever need for archery hunting anyway.
