SimmonsHunting Laser Rangefinder; Volt & Venture Models

Super útil, es muy fácil medir la distancia y así poder dar un tiro certero sin dejar herido al animal.

Struggles to pick up the range sometimes

Works fine but it can be slow to range. Good for the price.

Nice compact unit. Should be ideal.

I've been looking for a new rangefinder for bowhunting for some time now. I have looked at many different brands in stores and played around with a few that belong to friends of mine, all in the $200+ price range. I didn't want to skimp because I wanted something that would work, work well, and last a long time. After deciding against a $230 model in a sporting goods store, I got on Amazon to shop around. I found this for almost exactly $100 and, after reading reviews, thought I'd give it a shot and save some money. If it didn't work well I could always return it.Much to my surprise, I have found nothing wrong with it. Now, it isn't the most powerful rangefinder out there, but I am still giving it 5 stars because not only does it do everything it was advertised to do, it does them at a significantly lower price than most others in its class. I knew how far it could range certain objects when I bought it, and it does exactly what it says it will. That's worthy of 5 stars. After a few days of playing around with it almost non-stop, the following are my findings.First thing I noticed was anything under 5 yards will not get a reading. Again, it said this in the description so I was expecting it. That is fine; I don't need it for things within reaching distance.Before testing it, I carefully measured 20 yards and placed my Archery target. Upon using the rangefinder, I got a reading of exactly 20 yards. Awesome. I have since set up a spot for the target at 10 yard intervals to 60 yards. With the 4x magnification I can loose an arrow and use the rangefinder to get a better view of where it hit. That's also nice. I am fine with 4x, although some folks may want more.The rangefinder itself is small and compact, weighing almost nothing. It fits easily in my hand and is comfortable to hold. Build quality is great. Nothing flimsy or cheap feeling. The battery door is held on by a small flathead screw, easily unscrewed with a key, butter knife, or even, dare I say, a screwdriver.With farther objects, holding in the button for a longer period is required. About a full second rather than just a simple quick click. I have ranged out to 400 yards with no problems just on trees and houses. I would have went farther, but that was as much room as I have had so far and for bowhunting I won't need that much. Maybe 80 yards at the most, but more reasonably 50 or 60.The Tilt technology is also a nice feature, especially at the price point this is at. Many other, more pricey models do not have this feature, so I am very pleased with this.There is also a batter level indicator in the viewing picture, which is convenient. I thought this was something worth mentioning because it could be a selling point for some.There is really not much more to say about it. It tells you how far away an object is and tells you the true horizontal distance if you're at an angle with Tilt. For a hundred bucks this is one of the best rangefinders you can find. I can wear it on my belt in the nice case it comes in, or attach a lanyard (not included) to wear it around my neck while hunting. It is compact and extremely lightweight, making it almost nothing to pack around. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend this rangefinder to anyone, especially if you want to save some money. You don't miss out on quality with this.
