I shoot a recurve and don't use any rangefinder. It's either close enough to shoot or it isn't.
Also, electronic recommendation.......bag of rice and in conjunction with it use a hair dryer on low and let it blow for at least a half hour directly on the unit. No battery. Had this work before but it's not 100 percent
Does anyone else have issues in foggy conditions?

I used a pendulum for a long time. Which one do you use? I had one from impact archery and the company went out of business. I loved it.Nikon with out arc. Never needed arc my shots are usually close. I use a pendulum sight zero it in
at 25 yards and I'm good out to 35 yards . But like I said my shot are usually 20 yards and in.
You’ll also see tbr mentioned by several using the Leupold. It’s pretty much the same as arc.Wow ! Quite a few different rangefinders and most answers contain a reference to ARC. Great posts. I use a rangefinder on most hunts to range objects mostly. I have found on earlier sits that being up higher in a saddle presents different opportunities for shots than the lower 20 ft stands I have used in the past. I have shooting lanes cut down lower but those turn into scattered opportunities or openings in those lanes from higher up so the rangefinder becomes more necessary for me. The ARC feature ,I`m not really sold on yet but from 25/30 ft height I feel like it makes sense. I bought Bushnell G-Force DX ARC 6X 21mm Laser Rangefinder . It`s small enough to pocket carry in and has unbelievable target acquisition claimed to be 5 x`s faster than anything comparably priced. It is also waterproof .
I bought this at first , then cancelled it and bought the Bushnell for 20 bucks more.The big reason was I found it (Nikon) was only rain resistant but the lightest and most compact rangefinder I saw without ARC. I learned my lesson. The Bushnell is water proof. They are both great choices .I purchased a Nikon Aculon Rangefinder. Have had it a little over a year but seems to work great. I've used it a few times at practice ranges to ensure its accurate and up to 50 yards and all have been spot on.
