Recommend a good laser range finder...

[padawan]

Thoughts on the Nikon Prostaff 3 Range Finder?

Looking for a sub $300 unit. Doesn't need bow calculations.

Any suggestions?

For under $300 bucks, that is pretty good. THe basic one from Vortex optics is another good one, I think it's just over $300, but I might be wrong.

The BIG questions that will really change price points are:
How FAR do you want to range? (250 yds? 400 yds? 600 yds? 1000 yds?, etc.)
do you want/need any compensation, like angle/incline calibrations, or just raw distance?

For under 300 bucks the Bushnell 1000 arc is the best on the market today.

Found out the hard way my first hunt in Wyoming that some laser range finders won't shoot through mesh. My recommendation - what I did - go to Bass Pro/Cabelas and get the sales man/woman to let you shoot through the mesh of one of the ground blinds set up. The cheapest one in the case that would let me do it was a Leupold - right around that three bills number.

I got a 1600 ARC on sale for just over $300 ($325-ish) and I'm very happy with it. It has lots of bells and whistles that I don't use, but it ranges very well.
