Range finders

[skeet]

As Jack said. The Leica is the better of all the affordable ones. I happen to have a couple and they will range a deer or Elk to about 75% of their rated yardage. The Bushnells etc as he also stated about half maybe less in less than optimum conditions. My Leica 1200 I have ranged elk with to about 900 Yds in optimum ..a bit less on the less than ideal days. Oh and keeping them as still as possible helps a great deal. A friend has a set of the Bushnell(?) binocular type and they seem to work well but they are clumsy and heavy. But do double duty for him. That also brings up a second issue.. If you are hunting mountainous timbered terrain..a GOOD pair of binocs is really necessary. I have a nice set of Leupolds. Personally for hunting I really don't think it is necessary to have the very expensive German types of binocs..unless you do this hunting stuff for your living. Then they are a tax write off LOL..Fabs would love that.
