I also own a Leupold RX4, and got this specifically to overcome the limitations of the Leupold. The Bushnell will range out past 100+ yards in bow mode while the Leupold will only go to 60 yards in bow mode. Also the Bushnell has a much greater angle compensation than the Leupold. The specs say it can handle up to 60 degrees of angle for calculation, but I have been able to range at almost 90 degrees. This is an awesome product for bow hunting. You will not be sorry.

Just like the description claims, this compact rangefinder excels in convenience and features. Used it right out of the box with great results. Have used for target ranging with no problems. Have not verified the ARC features yet since only used with .22 cal rimfire rifle but will soon test with .223 cal centerfire rifle. Researched several models and other brands and this one came out on top. Combined with the Bushnell Legend 20-60X60 spotting scope (also bought from OpticsPlanet)I can range and see hits on target perfectly.

Easy to use and I like the compact size. I use it for both shooting and golf. I've only ranged out to 700 yards so far, but I'm sure it will go beyond. Does a good job of picking up less reflective objects and scanning over different distances. Display is easy to navigate. Good value for the price.
