    I was wondering what everyone's opinions on reasonably priced trail cameras and range finders? New to bowhunting and any tips are appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Covert trail cameras and Simmons makes a decent entry level rangefinder

    My Nikon Prostaff 5 range finder is awesome. Perfect for archery at a perfect price.

    I run Moultrie M-880's and a Bushnell ARC Rangefinder, if there's anything wrong with either one I have yet to find it.

    I won't speak on behalf of others I haven't used, but I'm using Covert's along with my homebrews and have been very satisfied. I had a Bushnell Scout Arc 1000 for two years before the menu button decided to stick and become non-functional. Not long after, the unit itself would not power on even with a fresh battery. Picked up a Nikon Prostaff 7 this season, and like it so far.
