Overview
Designed for archery hunters and competitive shooters, this rangefinder is built around the needs of bow setup and shot-specific ranging. It uses your bow’s velocity, peep height, arrow weight, and shot angle to calculate ranges based on your gear, and it accepts velocity inputs as low as 170 feet per second. Updated flightpath technology offers two viewing modes for arrow obstructions out to a typical distance of 85 yards, while Last Target mode is intended for ranging in rain, fog, and snow. A 6x magnification, bright red OLED display, and fast laser engine round out a tool aimed at clear, quick readings in the field.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for archery use, so it is specialized for bowhunting and competitive archery rather than general-purpose ranging.
- Its advanced setup depends on entering bow- and arrow-specific data, so it may take more time to configure than a basic point-and-shoot rangefinder.
- The Flightpath feature is described for viewing arrow obstructions out to a typical distance of 85 yards, which may be a limiting factor for longer archery applications.
- The Last Target mode is intended to help in rain, fog, and snow, but it is still a weather-focused mode rather than a substitute for clear line of sight.
