Who uses one and who doesn't. I started shooting without one along time ago, I have one now and use it if I remember to bring it.

I used them for years. Started out with a Bushnell Pro 1000. It still works and one of my son's keeps it in his pack as a backup. Then I used a Bushnell Compact 800 for 5-6 years. It was much easier to carry (smaller). A couple weeks ago I bought a Leupold RX II. I am looking forward to breaking it in. My oldest son used a Nikon Rifle Hunter 550 this year and he likes it.

At present I do not use one. But I've been giving it some thought and hope to buy one this winter.

As an avid bowhunter with almost no natural ranging ability I use mine a lot, that is when ever i can pry it away from my wife or son.

I didnt use to until I bought the Geovid. Sure is convenient with it all in one. I use it ALL the time now.

I have and use one when I have a chance. It's one less thing you have to worry about when you have a shot.

I like to use mine. Still trying to decide if I need the geovid.

I think every archer should be required to have one.

best bowhunting invention ever IMO, I have great range ability from all the 3d shoots I do but my estimation is still not faster then my nikon, and I would rather be 100% on what pin and where to hold when shooting at game then hoping I guessed right..... you have to respect the game you hunt and doing everything you can to ensure a quick clean kill is essential....... as a bowhunter being 100% on the range is as good as it gets......

Buy a good one, I bought a Nikon 550 about a month ago. It is a total piece of crap! I hesitate to even put it up for sale it is such junk!

I have one but never had to use it when bow hunting. Every elk ive shot has been within 25 yards.
