    Ditto Hutch... this is what I use (never used any others... so I can't comment on them). I like mine, but there's probably better ones out there. I think I paid like $149 for mine (years ago).

    Second bump for WGI Halo. You can usually find them for around 100.

    I use a Bushnell Scout ARC 1000 and I love it. Super accurate and very easy to use. I bought mine at Cabela's (had a gift card) for around $220. I looked on ebay and you can find it for way cheaper and some right around your price range.

    Can the WI Halo be calibrated? My cousin has one that is off by about 3yd. Measured it on flat ground using my 300' tape measure. I guess if you sight your bow to your range finder you'd be fine though.
