I've decided to do some bow hunting this year and may buy a rangefinder. I'd like to keep the cost below $150. It will be strictly for bow use so I don't need one thats good to 1000 yards. What do y'all recommend at that price point?

These two choices will serve your purpose, but they are a little more than $150. Going to be tough staying under $150 on a good rangefinder unless you happen up on a used one. Bushnell Sport 550 Nikon Aculon

I have a Bushnell that I've had for about 15 years. I use it every time I bow hunt.

For long range rifle shooting Id invest more in one. For bow hunting its fine, real compact too.

You should have no problem finding a good rangefinder used on the Archery Talk Classifieds Forum. I got a Nikon Archers Choice with ARC for $120 a couple months ago.

+1 for nikon. I have one with the arc. Get a good retention system that will hang it out of the way of your draw and your neck while climbing in and out of your stand. They make an awful racket when hitting climbing sticks. I put one arm through the lanyard and it hangs under my right armpit. Out of the way of my draw and easily acquired when needed
