I got a Yardage Pro 600 from Cabela's. I tried it out on antelope and cows. On a black Angus the thing only works out to about 150 yards. Anyhow, out on the desert where everything is flat I couldn't get a target other than the critter and on antelope it only works out to about 275 yards.

I tried it for a couple of days and ended up sending it back. Now if you really want a rangefinder why not pop for the Leica Geovid? They work with the animal as the target and at $3000.00 they are...well too expensive.
