What is a Rangefinder and Why Do You Need It?

A rangefinder is like a magic ruler for hunters. It allows you to measure the exact distance to your target, whether it's a deer, boar, or small game. Why is it important? Because knowing the distance is essential to adjusting your rifle or bow and ensuring an accurate shot.

How Does a Hunting Rangefinder Work?

A rangefinder emits an invisible laser beam that bounces off the target and returns to the device. Using a sensor, the rangefinder calculates the time it takes for the light to make this journey and, with that information, determines the distance. It's pure technology at the service of the hunter!
