Overview
A 6x25mm laser rangefinder with bow and hunting modes that read straight-line, angle and horizontal distance up to 1200 yards. Waterproof, fog proof and dust proof, with a CR2 battery and carrying pouch included.
Reviewers who checked readings against GPS distance tools and pricier competitors found the unit accurate at long range. The clearest limitation raised is that the display isn't illuminated, which makes it harder to read after dark.
- 6x25mm optics, up to 1200 yards
- Bow mode with angle and horizontal distance
- Waterproof, fog proof, dust proof housing
- Includes CR2 battery, pouch and carabiner
Who it's for
Bow and rifle hunters who want angle-compensated yardage without paying for high-end optics. Not a fit for anyone who needs to range targets in near-dark conditions.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who cross-checked distances against GPS tools and pricier rangefinders found the readings accurate and praised the size, waterproofing and angle compensation for bow hunting, with the main complaint being a non-illuminated display that's hard to read in low light.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Accurate readings at long range distances
- Compact waterproof housing for field use
- Angle compensation aids elevated bow hunting
- Responsive customer service on a defective unit
- No illuminated display for low light
Performance notes
The unit reads straight-line, angle and horizontal distance in one measurement, useful from a tree stand or other elevated bow-hunting position where flat yardage alone would be misleading.
