well with these super accurate bows the only thing left to chance is to know what the exact distance is.. what are the best rangefinders to consider..

Bushnell Laser Rangefinder Yardage Pro Trophy!

Anyone own one of these?
I have a chance this week to grab one for real cheap!

Any thoughts?

I find the Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 fills my needs well.
I have owned more expensive models with more features, but the Bushnell is extremely accurate and easy to use.
I pre-range landmarks from my stand or blind so I'll have a good idea of when a deer is within range and won't have to worry about anything but making a good shot when the deer appears. With this method I don't really need a lot of features other than accuracy from a rangefinder.

I have the yardage pro and am very pleased. I use it in the same method as Wabi .

I tried several out before I purchased the Nikon 440. All were accurate and there was very little difference in the clarity of the optics. I decided on the Nikon based on how it felt in my hands and how easy the buttons were for me to operate. It just "fit" me a little better.

It's my play toy while I'm waiting on the deer to appear.

I have 2 both bushnell a 450 and a 1500 they are both accurate but the 1500 quit on me last spring the 450 won't range through a blind screen but the 1500 will Bushnells service leaves a lot to be desired as a matter of fact it stinks.
