If you have a hunting fan in your family this year and you are struggling to find the right gift, then look no further than the Leupold RX-1000 Laser Rangefinder. This little gadget will make any hunter smile come Christmas morning.
If you aren’t familiar with laser rangefinders then what they do is send out a beam of light to a target and it measures the time it takes to get there and then to reflect back. It uses this measurement to calculate the distance to the target and displays it on a small screen that you look through, kind of like binoculars. Hunters, especially bow hunters but even rifle hunters, find this to be extremely helpful in calculating drop and range and how much to lead the target etc.
These units are also available to golfers as well and the two units function quite a bit differently. A laser rangefinder designed to be golf specific would NOT be of much use to a hunter, while a hunting rangefinder often has both modes of operation installed. The best thing you can do is check out some of the review sites to find more information about these items and you can read more about which rangefinder would be perfect for your situation.
Take comfort in knowing that my wife recently bought me one for my birthday, and it put a giant smile on my face. It is something that I wanted but was too cheap to buy for myself. Check em out today.
