Do You Really Need an Archery or Bow Hunting Laser Range Finder?
An archery/bow hunting range finder is all some people need
Obviously, no one is taking 200 yard shots with even the most powerful crossbow, so long range capability isn't a concern while bow hunting. Now it may be a big concern to the bow hunter who also uses a rifle (or even just plays golf, but that's another topic). But just focusing on the act of bow hunting, the typical 100 yard range limit of most dedicated bow hunting range finders would be fine.
Also, in many states, hunters are restricted to using shotgun slugs for deer and other game. Ohio is one such example. Even with modern rifle-barrel shotguns and sabot slugs, it's exceedingly rare to take a shot over 100 yards. If your hunting territory is filled with dense cover and not many fields or other open areas, then you may not have many shots over 100 yards even if you can use a rifle.
This is a different question from if you need ANY range finder
Note: I didn't ask 'do you need a range finder for bow hunting'. The answer to that is a resounding YES! Being 5 or even 10 yards off on a 150 yard shot with a flat-shooting.270 Winchester probably isn't all that big of a deal. You'll probably still hit a vital area. But make even a 5 yard error with a bow and that once in a season - or lifetime - shot could be gone forever. Or even worse, a majestic animal gets wounded and wastes away, dying in pain hours later. As hunters, we owe it to the animal and ourselves to do everything possible to ensure a quick, ethical kill.
After all, a 10 yard mistake on a 200 yard rifle shot is only a 5% error. For a 30 yard bow hunting shot, that's a 33% mistake. And distances don't always look the same in early morning fog or in dense cover or from the height of a tree stand. Either practice with your bow - a LOT - under realistic conditions (in a tree stand, early morning and midday, various angles, etc) to become better at range estimation or get a quality range finder. Better yet, do both.
Why a rifle range finder may be best for archery & bow hunting
But a range finder can be used for much more than just lining up that shot, as critical as that may be. You may want to range various landmarks around you or get a distance on an out-of-range animal that's headed your way. Maybe you want to map out or scout things along a trail or how far your other stand. Maybe you're just curious.
Fortunately, many rifle models will meet the needs of archers and bow hunters as well as even the best dedicated archery/bow hunting models. Here are two things to look for in a rifle model to make sure it will meet your needs as an archer or bow hunter:
* Angle mode - this will 'do the math' for steep angled shots, like in a tree stand
* Reasonable magnification - anything more than 6x would be too much at short distances
Make the right choice for your needs
If you are strictly a bow hunter or shotgun slug hunter that won't ever pull the trigger on an animal over 100 yards, then by all means consider one of the fine models of bow hunting ranger finders.
But if you see yourself possibly needing a longer range model for rifle hunting, scouting, curiosity, or any other reason, look at the much larger category of rifle hunting range finders.
And yes, you may just want to have something that works for the golf course as well!

Bushnell Range Finders - From an Award Winning American Company
Bushnell Range finders are well known amongst the golfing and hunting set where accuracy and ease of use in the outdoors are prime considerations.
Bushnell Outdoor Products is an American company that has been around since late 1947, when David P. Bushnell founded it while spending time in allied occupied Japan. Originally, Bushnell outdoor products was more or less a mail order binocular company, but it has grown into a company with eleven brands and over fifteen product lines. These products include telescopes, night vision items, ski goggles, sunglasses, spotting scopes and much much more, that distributes in over 27 countries.
In the last decade the company has changed hands several times but still maintains it's high quality of outdoor optical equipment. So much so that awards of quality are no stranger to this all American conglomerate. Outdoor Life magazine bestowed the Editors choice award in 2007 for the Bushnell Elite 4200 rifle scope and another for the Browning Sports optics binoculars, which followed the one they were awarded for the Legend binoculars in 2006.
The first GPS systems to allow satellite imagery to be integrated into the display was created by Bushnell in 2006, as well as adding XM radio for real time weather information. Field and Stream Magazine awarded Bushnell the 'Best of the Best' award in 2007 for the Onix 400 GPS.
It's no wonder that with such a pedigree, Bushnell Range finders are considered to be at the forefront of their product range. Golfers and hunters know when they see something that works!
The Bushnell Yardage Pro is one such Range finder and it comes in a variety of editions. There is the Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation, there is the Yardage Pro sport 450 which is also available in two types of camouflage coverings, the Yardage Pro 800, the Yardage Pro Legend which is also waterproof, the Yardage Pro Scout, the Yardage Pro 1000, the Yardage Pro 1600 which is waterproof and fog proof and the Yardage Pro Elite which comes multi coated, water proof and/or with a camouflage finish. So there are a number to choose from but the cream of the crop for a golfer is the Pinseeker.
This uses laser technology to bounce a beam from an object and then measure the time it takes to return. This timing is then translated into yards or meters as required. Of course the more reflective the target the more accurate the reading although the 'bounced' laser takes less than a second to travel back and forth. The Pinseeker measures ranges from 5 to 1500 yards and at the longest distance is reputedly within an accuracy of +/- one yard. It has a monocular with seven times magnification so you can accurately aim your range finder even in very low light conditions, say at dusk.
It weighs only 10 ounces and fits easily into your pocket and comes with a variety of modes that let you ignore brush or tree branches and take aim at the very base of the pin: at the cup itself! Oh yes, it also measures slope, by degrees of angle, while taking into consideration the golf balls trajectory and the type of club that is being used....yes really!
Waterproof, easy to use, small enough to carry and very accurate. Anyone I have talked to has said it has managed to improve their golf game considerably.
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation...worth looking into.

How To Master Long Range Shooting
Long range shooting with the proper tools and knowledge is a lot of fun and easier than most would think. It does require a level of patience but is well worth the effort when you're able to place a bullet accurately at a half mile plus. Let me explain.
A few years ago my dad and I were hunting coyotes we spotted a few out at about two-hundred fifty yards so we started lobbing bullets hoping to hit our target. After a few shots the coyotes looked up at us and then continued on with what they were doing, making us feel very stupid. We never hit them but that was the day we started looking into shooting long range, and making sure that the next time we had such a shot we would know EXACTLY how to hit our target.
After reading this article you will know the secrets to long range shooting and learn a few tricks that I've picked up through years of practice and experience. It doesn't matter what kind of rifle you're shooting you can be accurate at long ranges with this information. There are however rounds and rifles that provide for real long ranges like 7MM or 7MM STW or even a 338 or.338 Lapua. There's a ton of ideal long range rifles, but if you don't have an ideal rifle its ok. You can still get real good at a 700-900 yard ranges and let's face it how many animals do you think you can kill if you were extremely proficient at 700 to 900 yards?
For the sake of time I'm going to use details from my particular round a 7mm. My rifle is a Remington 700 7mm. What we'll cover is the following.
1. Rifle (7mm Remington 700)
2. Round (Actual Bullet)
3. Reloading
4. Bullet Data
Again we covered #1 you need a rifle and you need to know its capabilities. So lets get to #2 the bullet. I use a 162 Grain Sierra BTHP with 68 grains of IMR 4831 Powder. I tested bullets and powders and this was the most accurate for me up close at 100 and at long ranges of up to 1500 yards. My bullet isn't ideal for long range large animals as the knock down power decreases dramatically at long ranges.
Next we need Bullet data if you can't reload get a good bullet that provide you with the following information preferably right on the box. Hornady has this information right on the box of most of their higher powered rifle rounds. All you need from the box is Muzzle Velocity, you will need to find bullet coefficient in a book on the particular round or often times the manufacturer has a web page dedicated to identifying bullet coefficient.
1. Muzzle Velocity
2. Bullet Coefficient
With this information you can now begin to plug your data into either an exbal program on a hand held PDA. (We use a DELL we got on eBay for ) or the Iphone has a nice app called "shooter" here's what you need in the features of your long range shooting application.
1. Muzzle velocity
2. Barometric pressure
3. Altitude
4. Temperature
5. Wind correction
6. Sight above bore (usually this is 1-2 inches)
7. Cosign or Angle of shot.
Plug your information into your computer and then when your in the field you simply plug in the information that's needed relative to your new location. So here's what I typically do. With my bullet data consistent, the only things I need to change are field conditions. When we are getting ready to hunt I pull out my Kestral meter (kestrel.com) and I get temperature, altitude, barometric pressure and humidity and I put it all in the computer.
I then pull up my drop table so that I know my bullet drop at 300, 400 and up to 1500 yards or more. This is key but the final tid bit is this.
Your scope...
You can go big with a night-force scope for 00 or you can do what I did and get a simple Bushnell Elite - the key is being able to set your MOA or minutes of angle.
Your drop table will give you MOA's as adjustments to your scope to set your scope for the distances that you shoot. I have up to 47 Minutes of Angle adjustment on my Bushnell Elite.
So when I'm ready to take a shot I pull up my Lika 1200 (good for up to about 1500 yards at dusk) I get my distance, lets say 945 yards. I then pull up my drop table which has my field conditions and bullet data already in it and I look t 945 yards and it tells my to come up 27 MOA. I go to my scope and dial up 27 Minutes of Angle and guess what? That's right Im now set at ZERO at 945 yards which means I just put my cross-hairs on the target!
Hope this helps you if you want to see some samples check out my videos on YouTube.
