Rangefinder Advice needed

[dadogg]

Thanks for all the advise - seems like the leupold is popular with most, and that ARC is not needed ecspecially in the yardage range I would be comfortable with shooting

Not worth the extra money for the ARC if it's just for bow hunting. Elevated 20ft at 30yds is less than a yard difference than straight.

Advertising gimmick. If you're familiar with the Pythagorean Theorem where A squared + B squared = C squared, then you'll find that for archery, it's not necessary. I have a Leica CRF900 and it will range off off trees, bushes, spots in a field, really amazing.

However, if I was out west shooting 300-400 yards uphill or downhill then it might be a different story - but not for bowhunting.

I have had a Bushnell Scout 1000 and a Legend 1200 ARC.. both worked well. I ended up getting a Zeiss but the Bushnells worked just fine too.

Academy and cabela's both have the bushnell scout 1000 on sale for $259. I am thinking about going that direction since I still do alot of gun hunting in So. Texas until I can get some bow blinds set up

Is that a fair price?

====================

I have the Bushnell Scout 1000/ARC.
its been a great investment. The $259.00 price at Academy is a great price. There are cheaper units out there but you get what you pay for. I would buy the Bushnell Scout 1000 if I were you. 5 stars!!!

Intresting feedback on the arc. Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of buying one.

the ARC option is worth it only if you hunt over 12-15' up...... unless you have a slow bow. with newer bows the arc only helps if you hunt 20+' up or you plan to take long shots. I hunt in the mountains so If I'm up on a cliff it helps, I also hunt in east TX up in a pine tree around 25' up and at 20 yards the aiming difference is about 2-3 yds if I remember correctly.

Just go ahead and get it. If you ever go elk hunting it is nice.
