    Range Finder

    I can't get fleabay at work, if its a laser range finder I reckon it'd be a big plus for your hunting.

    I was hunting with someone who uses a range finder on Saturday and knowing the next rabbit is exactly 42 yards away really helps. You could always get the missus to carry it for you!

    There are more than one kind.

    The golf types are no good
    Optical split image types - not very good at all.
    Proper hunting laser range finders and they are very good indeed!

    If you are getting a r/f go for a laser one.

    The last advice was excellent. You should be able to pick one up, brand new, excellent quality, for £124.99

    If you can't, you will be able to by the middle of August

    If your crap at range estimation then go for it. You owe it to quarry to do the best you can.

    general concensus that the Jsr range finders are good then? might have to get one as my range finding is crap.
