Dont see any reviews, Im looking for a rangefinder for archery. What brand model(s) have you used, thumbs up or down comment

I have a bushnell sport 450. Thought it worked well, but found it didnt read the same spot the same after moving and coming back. Got wet and died.
 
Sig Kilo 2000. I bought mine 3 years ago after a ton of research and haven’t had one complaint (other than price). I’m still on the factory battery!
 
I have the kilo 2000 as well its awesome! I also researched tons. I also have a cheap Walmart halo that I use for bow hunting now but had bought it as a backup( Dont mind beating the crap out of it in swamps etc) clarity is good it is very accurate and has taken several animals
 
Dead on rangefinder. No batteries, no buttons, range at full draw, accurate to 50+yrds depending on eyesight and only costs about $20.
 
Bushnell Bowhunter Chuck Adams edition. I don’t know if they are made anymore but mine has been great. Just had to change the battery for the first time this year after about 7 years of use.
 
You can buy a golf range finder for $200.00. You will not have the elevation. Just range find trees around you for yardages at you height. If you at 20’ or less in stand height and only taking bow shots within 20 yds - 30yds you should be grouping within an inch of your practice at ground level.
 
Bought a vortex 1300 ranger model. $300 and lifetime warranty. So far works awesome
 
I have the leupold rx1000i and it worked great for the 1st 2 seasons but the display has started to fade only at the yardage numbers though the center and top are still bright. whatever thats worth
 
Hey guys newbie to this forum just wanted to give my opinion I've had a bushnell yardage pro 500 since 2001 I believe it's a rifle range finder as it only reads down to 15 yards I tried to upgrade this summer during my 3-D archery league to a Nikon arrow ID 3000 and was super excited as it was half the size of my Bushnell and a Nikon only to find out it would not accurately read dark objects not only would it not read them accurately it would give you different readings all over each time needless to say I am still using my Bushnell I was told by a few others on my league that you really have to watch which type of rangefinder you get as this is a common problem not just with Nikon
 
I personally love my vortex ranger. Of all the ones I tried I liked the display the best. It’s red and stands out against the background. The ranges have all been accurate for me. Good luck in your search
 
I had a Bushnell Bone Collector that I couldn’t get a reading on past 40yds. It was straight trash.

Recently bought the Leupold Fulldraw 3 and am loving it so far.
