Completes my hunting setup - Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC 5x24mm Laser Rangefinders

I was excited to grab my Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC rangefinder. I have been setting up to go coyote hunting and this lets me set up and pick landmarks in the fields where I hunt and know an accurate range that I can use to help me find how far out I can accurately take a shot.

There were two things that I did not find favorable with this rangefinder - first was the setup. There are several different modes, which is a plus, but getting them set up certainly requires that you spend some time with the manual. There are two buttons on the rangefinder and the one used to find the range is slightly hard to press. This is only an issue if your index finger is weak or if you have very small hands.

Despite the two shortcomings, I am very pleased with my purchase - neither problem will bother me but I listed them as potential things to think about for other buyers.

experience: life long shooter and novice hunter
Pros: light, good magnification setting, easy to use once set up, sturdy
Cons: mode setup, rangefinding button
