If you rifle hunt at all don't buy a archery rangefinder. Some limit you to distance that they can range.
I don't rifle hunt. I've never had a rangefinder due to just guessing yardage for bow hunting. Time to get a little more precise.

Ya that. I made that mistake buying the Leupold. States it will range out to 600. Ya right maybe if there was a reflective piece of foil used to range off of. I am lucky to get above 300 yds if there is a granite slab in the field. Mostly less than 225 yds. under normal field circumstances. Man it still pisses me off.
I even sent it back to Leupold thinking something was wrong with it, nope nothing wrong with it.

Most all range finders are labeled as what they can read for distance on a reflective target. ;)
I have the 750 TBR. It ranges to 750 on reflective targets. Everything else is variable.

1. The Nikon Archers Choice was fine unless there was any rain or slight amount of fog, by far the most sensitive to adverse conditions.
2. The Leica CRF1000 was the best I owned, it unfortunately got stolen when a slime bucket robbed my house and took my backpack. :(
3. I now own the Leupold RX1000, it works great, it's not as bright as my Leica but a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

What are the farthest yards are you regularly experiencing in the field with that Leupold coonhound?

I have a leica and I can range much past the rated 800 yards on a regular basis at trees.If you rifle hunt at all don't buy a archery rangefinder. Some limit you to distance that they can range.

th only other RF I would buy right now would be the leica 1600 or the G7.

I had no problem ranging out to 500 - 600 yds and often more.
