    I would reccomend the Nikon or Leupold ones for the quality-price aspect of it. Depending on what you plan to do with it, just strickly bowhunt and maybe gun hunt a little you really dont need all that big of one. But maybe if you plan to be hunting where you need to know a couple hundred yard ranges you would need a pretty high power one.

    I've personally used the Nikon Archer's Choice. It is pretty useful.

    Just don't get distracted by the awesomeness of the incline/decline compensator.

    Thank you so far guys. I guess I should have stated that I will only be using it for bowhunting. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

    I have used two brands of range finders. I am using the Nikon 800 right now an have no plans to change. They are fast and are on target 99% of the time an that is what I expect.

    I use the Bushnell Sport 600. It works great for me!
