Accurate Range Finders?

I have an older Bushnell yardage pro that I bought around 1995. It was one of the first laser rangers on the market. It is supposed to be able to provide accurate ranging out to 800 yards, but that is BULL. If I focus on a house size WHITE target, it might give me a reading, but most of the time it will not in full day light. Sighting in on a deer under 200 yards is impossible regardless of their claim. Besides, at 200 yards, I am not wasting time getting ranges. It seems to provide better readings in the twilight hours on solid object like large trees and hill sides. So, just at day break, I take ranges which most of the time I can read to about 600 uds. By, 9 am it is useless. I was wondering if there are accurate range finders out there?
