RE: RangeFinder
for that price range and bowhunting...check out the Nikon 440. i have this one and it is nice. my only complaint is my range limitations. it's only good up to around 400 yards. i thought it would be good enough for rifle hunting but i was wrong. i would like to know the ranges of game or objects further than this even if i am not shooting at it. if you're sure you won't need more than 400 yards, it's a dandy range finder. i think i paid around $230 for mine (the camo version which is slightly higher priced than the black one).

RE: RangeFinder
My Nikon 440 would hardly range 250ish on trees or rocks which is no good for rifle hunting. This, however, would be an awesome bow rangefinder. It is light and compact, and Cabelas and a few other places around here are selling them for $199. Brett

Picked up the Bushnell Yardage Pro Trophy today. Supposed to be good out to 300 or so yards on game and up to 800 on buildings and such. I got this one b/c it's supposed to go out a bit further than the Nikon 440. Bought the non-camo version for 199. The camo version is 220.

RE: RangeFinder
Mine was free because the guy who had it thought it was broke. The button is too easy to push and kills the batteries when resting on something or packed. Keep that in mind. I've never replaced the battery since discovering it.

RE: RangeFinder
the leupolds are nice. Rx1 is in your price range, for a little more the rx2 gives you true ballistic range. These are very compact range finders and have alll kinds of gadgets to play with waiting in a tree. They would work excellent for bow hunting and decent for rifle
