been shootin my cross bow and it drops off pretty fast after 30 yards so i thought a range finder would be a great investment so i bought a simmons with angle calculation feature (for shoot from stand) won the bid on ebay for 90.00 bucks does anybody else use them?
There a good thing to have...I missed a dear because I estimated the yardage wrong this year
i use a tape measure quiett loll
I'm curious to know what crossbow? After my surgery, I couldn't pull my Mathews back so I too bought a crossbow. After a lot of comparing and research I went with the Barnett predator. No joke, at 80 yards I was just 2.5" to the right. Ranged it with the range finder. Make sure you have a very steady rest first and foremost. I don't plan to attemp the 80 yard shot on a deer though.
They are a very good thing to have. Simmons sells them for $129.99 new, and sometimes run a $50 rebait.

Too heavy a bolt would effect it but I wouldn't think that much. I shoot carbon express arrows. But my bow shoots 375fps and I think 130 lbs of kinetic energy. I'd be willing to bet the speed and kinetic energy is less on the Horton.
i shoot a horton scout 125 and my bolts fly great out 2 about 50 yds i sighted in at 35 yds and at 50 im about 1 inch low and at 15 yds its 1/2 inch high thinkin about gettin a range finder 4 this yr just 2 have it with me in the stand
