Optics4Birding
Rangefinders have many uses for outdoor activities. They can be used to determine the distance to a target for
hunting or precision shooting sports. Golfers often use rangefinders to take some of the guesswork out of driving
a ball down the fairway. Wildlife researchers, birders, and even forest managers or loggers may use them in the
course of their work, too. Optics4Birding offers our customers one of the largest selections of rangefinders
found on the Web. The laser rangefinders we carry come from some of the most highly-respected manufacturers in
the optics industry.

Which Rangefinder Should I Buy?
Believe it or not, the staff at Optics4Birding gets this question a lot from our customers. We can help you
select the best rangefinder for your outdoor needs, and are happy to offer you some basic information on the types
and models of rangefinders to help you decide.
Laser Range Finders fall into three main types: golf, hunting/nature ranging, and forestry. Golf range finders
are designed to locate the thin, vertical flag stick and separate it from the background. A good example of a golf
range finder is the
Leica Pinmaster Rangefinder.
Another is the stylish and portable
Nikon CoolShot 20 GII Golf Rangefinder.
Range finders for hunting, shooting, and general measurements look at larger objects that are easier to isolate from
the background. A great shooting sports rangefinder is the
Leica
Rangemaster CRF 2800.com Laser Rangefinder, while a more budget-friendly model might be the
Nikon Prostaff 1000I Laser Rangefinder.
While most rangefinders are monoculars, hunting rangefinders are also available as binoculars. A top of the line choice
in binocular rangefinding is the
Zeiss Victory RF 10x54 Binocular
Rangefinder. Some golf and hunting range finders have the capability to account for a difference in elevation
between the start and end of a trajectory (ballistic ranging). Forestry range finders are used to determine both
the distance to a tree and how tall the tree is or how far a nest is from the ground. The
Nikon Forestry Pro II Rangefinder
serves as a perfect example of a pro-quality tool used around the world in the forestry industry. As with any tool,
select the rangefinder that fits your intended use.
All laser range finders work by sending a narrow laser beam toward an object and measuring how long it takes that
beam to be reflected back to the rangefinding device. This is called the “time of flight” principle. Consumer-grade
rangefinders are generally accurate from a few millimeters to a couple of feet, with more accuracy in those that use
short laser pulses and fast detector circuitry. Most rangefinders feature a digital readout to help you quickly determine
how far you are to your target.
Rangefinders come with different optical coatings, weatherproofing, and rubberized bodies. Some offer good magnification,
allowing them to be used as both a spotting optic and a rangefinder. It is important to understand how you will use the
optic and what sort of weather or field conditions you expect while using the rangefinder to help determine which one is
right for your needs.

To help you get the most out of your laser rangefinder, Optics4Birding carries a selection of
tethers that clip the rangefinder to your vest or jacket can
help protect your expensive optic device from loss or damage, keeping it handy while you’re enjoying the outdoors.
