talk to me about the yardage pro Scout

[grouseman]

thinking of picking one of these for christmas

my question is, how far can these things pick up a deer? I will be using it mostly for bowhunting( almost strictly) but want to know in case I do take it boom boom hunting.

anyways let me know, so far( and I havn't looked far) S.I.R has the best prce, allthough wholesale has one going for $10 cheaper but, its not enough to warrant buying there since I have dealt with S.I.R in the past.

anywheer else I should check?

I bought James one last year.....great for ranging your truck or a building out to about 800yds, but for deer I have only been successful out to about 250yds....non reflective target is poor.FYI.

You might want to check the optics section of the board. There were some unhappy Bushnell range finder customers.

Just a thought...

I would spend a bit more and get something like a Elite 1500 or a leupold

$350 seems a bit steep considering i paid $280 taxes included from lebarons here in ontario.

i guess they are an ok unit but id highly recomend buying a better one if you can. it is a small and easy unit to use but sometimes it just wont give the range of things. the farthest ive used mine on deer is 400+ yards and it only took 2 tries to range the small doe.

for anything under 200 yards it works mint though....

I have a Yardage Pro, it is the compact model that is water-proof and supposedly good for up to 800 yards. The optics are junk. Save your $ and get a Swarovski or Leica.
