What a good archery rangefinder?

Postby Toby » 12 23, 2013 •  [Post 1]

I'm looking for something around $200. I only Bowhunter, so don't need the long range models.

Toby: I purchased a Vortex from Elknut. I do not remember what it cost. I had it forwarded to elk camp when my Bushnell went bad on me. The optics are excellent for a range finder. Everything works well on the unit. I don't remember what the cost was, but Paul will give you a good deal an the Vortex is a quality instrument whatever the cost. You will have something that will last for years and if it doesn't Vortex stands totally behind their product. That is much better than Bushnell does. When I returned from elk camp I called Bushnell about their rangefinder. They offered me a small discount on a new one that was not near as good as the Vortex.

I have 2 Nikon Prostaff 440 - they do the job quite nicely.
They are in your budget too

Nothing worse than one that doesn't always give you a reading when you click the button! Can't go wrong with Vortex anything!
