    Deal Alert?




    I have been thinking about getting one but have just never pulled the trigger. would this be one worth jumping on?

    Depends on your intended use.... on a quick read, you need to verify or check the following.

    This would do a "highly reflective target" to 600 yards. Probably a deer to 200-300 max. (USE CASE:
    gun hunting longer than a standard feeder shot)

    I don't see a mention of angle compensation to display actual horizontal distance. Usually says ARC in the name. (USE CASE: archery hunting from tree stand)

      I would be using it for bow hunting, but would the angle truly be that important just as long as you knew the distance?

        I have this same one. I use it for bow hunting. Most my shots are flat and with in 30 yards. It works great for that.

            Depends on the distance and elevation of your shooting location..... but no 'typically' less than a 1 yard max difference between horizontal and direct distance when the target is at 30-40yds and your stand is say 3-5yds high.

            Just don't range a deer standing at the base of your tree or use it to range a long shot up/down a 45 degree grade.

              Wal-Mart in Tyler has them for $50 clearance. They also have a Bushnell Primos for $100 which is a better deal. Check your Walmart Clearance aisle or gun counter to see what they have before you buy off Amazon. I would pick you one up in Tyler but I'm not in that side of town today.

                    Saw this this morning and after reading the reviews decided against it. Reliability issues.

                        I think you will be very pleased with this one...I picked one up at Gander on sale a few years ago and its served me well...use it for golf as well.

                          I've got one of these, and this has been my experience as well.
