Default Re: Range finders

Im looking for a rangefinder. Torn between buschnells' top two. One gives a yardage. The other calculates uphill downhill distance factored in. Any recomendations?

If you ever hope to play in a tourney with it, you can't have one that measures slope.

Oh, I see you're going to take credit for that nugget of info. Let's review this thread sequentially.

No response from you on this matter until...

As I've said, so many statements here really make me laugh.

1) You're a dick.

2) I knew about the rule a long time ago when I was first looking into getting a rangefinder.

3) I've NEVER seen a tournament (that I'd ever enter) that allowed their use.

so, 4) I just said "sure you can't use it in tournies" because it's very RARE for them to make the local rule allowing them for a given tournament. Hell, most don't even know that they could make that ruling.

Finally, 5) you're a dick.
