Ranging Your Distance Can Make the Difference

When lining up your shot, one of the first things you should think of is, “How far is that animal?” The fact is distance is everything, and if you are off, then your shot will be too. Fortunately, we have variety of rangefinders available to help us judge distances.

Choose Wisely

There are many brands of rangefinders out there to choose from, but the type is really what’s important. From long-range spotting scopes with built in rangefinders to angle-compensating rangefinders for bow hunters, the choices are immense. The goal is to pick one that best suits your needs.
For example, if you’re primarily a bow hunter, then why would you need a rangefinder with 1,000-yard capabilities? It doesn’t make much sense. Instead, since many times you will be hunting from an elevated position, a rangefinder with angle-compensation technology built in makes more sense.
You may also weigh heavily on the price of a rangefinder. Prices can start as low as $150, but quickly rise close to $1,000 or more. You will often get what you pay for, as is any hunting equipment, but find the price range that fits your budget, yet provides all the capabilities you need.
