I bought a Bushnell Yardage Pro 400 from chopper on Archery-Forums and it cost $250. It works a dream.
I got a yardage pro off archerytalk for $260au delivered...Works a treat..
I still use the Mark 1 eyeball Pedro, but I have heard some really good reports about the Bushnells.
I have a bushnell yardage pro 500 cost me about 200 from archery talk in the states. That is of course second hand, but they work great.
l use the Bushnell Yardage Pro, its a great size. they are painful if they are to big.

the yardage pro scout looks the go, it even comes in camo.
Coach I agree I would really like a set that had 8X magnification to double as binos.
Mine are 6X which works ok and is a good compromise.

I use the Nikon 440 like this one but without the camo, it has worked good for me. The regular model cost about $20.00 less, it fits into a shirt pocket with not problems.

I use the Bushnell Scout, great size, therefore convenient to use when required.
I use a bushnell yardage pro ledgend its small light and waterproof but they are pretty expensive

I use a Bushnell Yardage Pro 800.
Will range to 800 mtrs has 8x magnification, small enough to fit in the pocket and easy to use one handed.
I like the scan function on these, where you can hold down the button and move the rangefinder around and get constant range updates.

Probably too much rangefinder for bowhunting but still performs very well, but I think it is more suited to long range rifle shooting.
I am considering some of those Quest binoculars myself.
