Rangefinders: Here’s what to consider with these handy tools for hunting

For years I didn’t own a rangefinder, instead relying on rocks, sticks, or even pieces of tissue paper as yardage markers. Now, without having to move from my stand, I can determine the exact distance to just about any object within shooting range.
While bowhunting, I can determine my aim point regardless of my height in the tree because my rangefinder allows me to verify that with ease. Most laser rangefinders are accurate to plus or minus one meter or yard. Leupold’s RX-Full Draw model can range from 600 to 800 yards and offers new signal processing techniques that promise accuracy to within a half-yard.
