I have a Bruton 440 that I bought cheap about 10 years ago. Finally on my second battery. I think it's a rebadged Nikon 440. It reads 20 yards at 18 yds / 22 yds equals 20 yds. 23 yds - 60 yds according to the tape it's spot on to the yard. Never had a moments problem in fog/mist/rain and never saw a need to upgrade my cheap rf'er until I got into 3D. Black targets give it the shakes. It's also spot on with the 150, 200 and 300 yd gongs at the gun club.
Vortex Ranger is what I currently use and the best I've had yet. I really like the size of the unit and the red display is a huge advantage in low light! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I definitely suggest doing some research on the different features before your purchase. The first one I got was a Bushnell bone collector. It worked well in the day but was hard to see in low light and did not have angle compensation. I spent more money and went with a Vortex rangefinder that has a red display for low light situations and also has angle compensation as well as a lifetime warranty. I am very pleased with vortex' s customer servicd. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I shot and hunted trad for 30+ years and shunned the idea of a rangefinder as "hi tech" foolishness. However when my shoulders prompted me to return to a compound, I shot for a while and decided that a rangefinder in the woods might be a good idea to at least test. I bought a used Bushnell from the AT classifieds that seemed to work pretty decent, althought I honestly didn't use it too much the first couple seasons. When I upgraded to a Prime Centroid and began shooting faster arrows, I also began to shoot longer distances and used the rangefinder to verify my distances. At that point I had saved some money and decided to invest in a good rangefinder.....which I had narrowed down to a Leupold XR750. About the time I was shopping, the 750 was discontinued for an upgraded 800 model, so I found it on sale at Cabela's and have been using it for at least 4 years. The features and quality were well worth the investment and it has been operating on the original batteries this whole time. If I was shopping now, I would take a good look at the Sig rangefinders as well. Buy the best you can afford and they rarely let you down.
Sig Kilo 2000 is by far the best range finder for the money. I've used a lot of different brands over the years and this one is head and tails above the rest.
I second SullyMitch on the bushnell truth with arc. Low cost but has done me well so far. Only used it a handful of times so far at the range. Been dead on so far with no issues and they are nice a compact in size. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Most of these listed are not, as far as I know. Vortex just released a Bino with rangefinder built in. Available late summer http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-fury-10x42-binocular What color is the read out on the Nikon Prostaff 7i? Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
