Review on 🦌 Bushnell Bone Collector Cam_202208 Laser Rangefinder by Ananta Crowley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but short range

I bought this device looking for something to measure range in the state forest/mountains near my hometown. Being mountains and dense forest I wasn't expecting to need more than 300 yards, so the advertised 600 yard range and low price were ideal. Unfortunately, this was not the case in practice. At 100 meters everything is fine. Also, I could aim at the same object, measure 3 times and get 3 different measurements, +/- 100 yards from what it should read. The build quality was good and the device was very light and even smaller than I expected. . There was no strap, although there was an attachment point for it. The listing is WRONG regarding the need for a CR2 battery: the one I received was the standard 9V, which was fine; I'm glad I didn't look for the battery which I didn't need before it arrived. If I didn't already have a laser tape measure that works for things about 70 yards away, I might keep it to myself. , as in that capacity it will serve with the accuracy I need for the type of job I do and aiming the optics on a bright sunny day was definitely easier than trying to get a laser point at 20+ feet away to recognize. or so. Whatever it is, I just need a device in such a short range and I can't get the tape measure back at this point. However, this should be taken into account when working outdoors.

Pros
