1- yes
2- na
3- Nikon pro staff (I've been using this for 6 years now)
4- a, unless walking around. I'll check every shot that I think is more than 30 yards!

dmcbride 04-09-2015 02:11 PM
No, I don't use a range finder for bow hunting.

Shooting a longbow and only shoot at animals in my comfort zone.(instinctual shooting) I shoot a few arrows at various things soon as I get into my stand just to be sure.

L.O.S.T.Arrow 04-09-2015 02:13 PM
***NOTE***
It important that the shooters that DON'T have a rangefinder chime in too please...

And Thanks

Neil

D- Range easily recognized objects around me while sitting in my "ground" blind (patch of bush) and burn those distances into memory. While stalking, it's at the ready - in case I need to range "on the fly"

Thanks Gang

Lots of interesting answers.

No
A b and c
I dont take shots over 40 yards, imo you should be able to determine how far 10,20,30,40 yards is without using one.
For "glassing" purposes i use cheap 50$ bushnell binoculars.

Okotokian 04-09-2015 03:18 PM
Yes

Leupold RX 1000 with angle compensation.

I need it because I am a lousy estimator of range. Can't count the times I thought an animal was "a couple hundred yards" away, ranged it, and found that it was 400 or 500 yards away. Scary! :scared:

Unless I can hit it with a rock I range it.

nsmitchell 04-09-2015 03:54 PM
Range Finder
 
Yes, Nikon Archer's Choice, range when in stand as soon as I get in there to mark of yardages to certain landmarks. When I am stalking I tend to range if I have the opportunity.

Need binos and range finder so bought a bino that has range finder in it. No way I'm rangin' an animal at close distance when I should be knowin' the distance already and shootin'..............that's in a stand or blind of course.

Kurt505 04-09-2015 07:16 PM
Yes

Leica 1600-B

I use it for most shots, if I figure it's 0-25yd I don't usually bother using it.

albertabighorn 04-09-2015 07:33 PM
Yes
Leica 1600

#1 Yes
#2 n/a
#3 Vortex 1000
#4 When I set up in a spot I will range: trees, stumps, bushes, cut lines, to what ever to get an idea of my "situational awareness" to shoot. So "A"

On a side note I will range for funzies in camp and whatever.
I dont range before every shot when an animal is present for me, adrenaline is pumping and time is a factor I'm calulating in my head.

Lucas30 04-09-2015 08:17 PM

Range after estimating random objects as I travel on foot for practice.
