[QUOTE="Sniper John, post: 1205367, member: 8580"] Many years ago before they sold laser range finders I used an inexensive archery range finder for a season or two. It was only for typical archery range. You looked through it like binoculars at an object and it presented two images. You then turned a dial until the images became one. Then look at the dial and read the range off of it. It was ok for predermining ranges from a bow stand, but you could just as well guess the range and the rangefinder did not account for your elevation if in a tree stand. If you do use one and you hunt from elevated positions or you hunt hilly or mountainous country you will want one with an inclinometer built in to figure your true range for shooting rather than the distance from your location to target. I could see how they would be very helpfull for long range shooting. [/QUOTE]
