    Hello all! I'm a new bowhunter and I'm searching for a decent rangefinder for around $200 or less. What do you guys recommend? Is ARC technology worth it? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    I'm a fan of the Nikons. Never had an issue with my Prostaff 550, and they won't break the bank. Unless you are shooting from elevations over 30ft, you won't find any benefit to the ARC technology.

    I'm say yes on the arc. Just because of how the land lays sometimes. This year I was sitting in a place that I was only 15 ft off the ground but I was probably 40 ft above the trail 25 yards out. I had my range finder the first time with ARC before it got surrendered to the washing machine gods. The next time in I took my dads that doesn't have it. There was more more discrapancy in the yardages between the two than I would feel comfortable with.
