I'm really disappointed in this buy. I was all excited and took it to the archery range. I set it to the bow mode and began range finding on the targets. I worked great at first, but then I couldn't get it to range find the 60yard targe. I tried multiple times. I eventually switched modes to LOS and it worked fine. It took some testing, but I figured out that the device simply wont return a distance over 60 yards while in bow mode. Very disappointing. Also, there was so much liturature about the RX-IV that I got sucked into believing the "boone and crocket" edition was the top of the line. It isn't. B&C edition sacrafices the thermometer and compass functions to give you three little sticks that help to guage horizotal disctance at the distance ranges. A feature that is REALLY worthless.

It took me for a while to decide what kind of rangefinder Im looking for. I spent some time online and only Optics Planet provided me what I need. Im glad that I made my choice.

This rangefinder is well worth the money. The measuring/calculating feature is spot-on accurate and really gives you an idea of the size of your target. Other rangefinders just can't compare to the combination of high-tech features on this one. I highly recommend.
