Which Rangefinder does everyone use?
I finally have enough BPS reward points to buy a rangefinder. I'm looking at the Nikon Laser 550 riflehunter, the Leupold RX-1, the Bushnell scout 1000. Who uses which one and what do you like and dislike about it. I'm alsointerested to hear if the eye relief is adequate for someone wearing glasses.

besides why carry more than really needed into the woods.

I just recently bought the Bushnell 1000 ARC to replace my old 800 that finally went south. I looked at the Leupold but heard it had some issues so went with the bushnell. I like it so far, let me get a season with it and then I will know for sure.

I've been using a Bushnell yardage pro 450 for about 7-8 years. It's accurate to +/- 1yd to450 yds.
ONLY downfall to this rangefinder is that it won't shoot through the mesh if your netting is down on your blind. I only turkey hunt out of my blind....so my netting is never down.
At $150.....it's tough to beat.....and since I only take shots inside 450yds[8D].....the extended yardage capabilities of the other models would leave me paying for something I'll never use.

I use the ArcherRange Rangefinder!
I just introduced it at the ATA show in January so there are very few that have used it, but all that have are amazed at how accurate,consistent, and simple to useit is.
Keep it in mind to tell your buddies about it that don't have a rangefinder or are new at the sport. It will greatly assist in game recovery and helps keep people interested in bowhunting!
It retails at $49.95 and can be seen at www.ArcherRange.com . No batteries needed!!
