Great Range Finder for Price!!!,
This is a very basic range finder so don’t expect all kinds of bells and whistles. It read all the way down to 5 yards for me (although the box says 10 yards) and it reads all the way up to 400 yards (500 if its a very reflective surface I think). It is accurate to +/- 1 yard which is what it does. I’m assuming the other reviewer had a couple problems that were his own doing. 1st: the battery indicator wasn’t showing that battery life was at half, it was showing that the battery was low which can give inaccurate reading; 2nd, if he is used to using an expensive range finder maybe he was moving it before it had time to read the distance to the object. I experienced this when I tried to range my mailbox which is about 30 yards out and it gave a reading of 55 yards. I steadied myself and tried again and then it read the distance perfectly. Since when does a product coming with a lanyard already attached mean that it isn’t any good? He was already making assumptions before he opened the box. I am a hunting enthusiast and work in the hunting department at a sporting goods store. This range finder definitely can not be compared to a high end leupold. It does not have any extra features. It reads distance and so far with my testing has been doing it accurately. Don’t be scared to give this one a try as it does have a complete 1 year warranty as well (no extra shipping charges etc) (just remember to send in the warranty registration card. Happy hunting!

|Don’t waste your money or time!,
I purchased this rangefinder from The Sportsman’s Guide last fall before deer season for my grandson because it had good reviews from the Sportsman’s Guide website, and it was very cheap, for an 800 yd rangefinder. It was supposed to come with a lens cleaning cloth (nope) and an extra battery (nope). To make matters worse, when I opened the box of this supposedly brand new rangefinder, the lanyard was already attached to the rangefinder! Okay, I’ve never had any problems with anything I had ever purchased from Sportsman’s Guide, so I decided to give them the benefit of doubt. I put the battery that was included, and the visual display looking through the eyepiece on the rangefinder showed that the battery was less than half charged. Okay…..still wanting to make this a good purchase, I tried to range several things around my house that I had previously ranged using my Leupold RX-II rangefinder. When I could actually make the Wildlife Innovation rangefinder read an object, it was SO far off that it was ridiculous!! A tree across the street from my house that I know to be 98 yards away from my garage door read 59 yards one time, and 103 yards another time. That is when I gave up on this rangefinder, packed it back into the box and shipped it back to Sportsman’s Guide.
Then I went back to Sportsman’s Guide website, read the glowing reviews by supposed purchasers/owners of this thing, and decided to write and submit an honest review of the rangefinder so any other unsuspecting souls on a tight budget, or looking for a bargain could at least ascertain that this rangefinder is not all that is it cracked up to be. Guess what???!!!???? There is absolutely NO PLACE on the web page describing this THING on the Sportsman’s Guide web site to leave or enter a review!!! Guess Sportsman’s Guide didn’t want any dissenting opinions or honest reviews from real, live, actual customers!!! Folks, please listen to me…..this thing is a joke, it is absolutely a piece of JUNK!!!
To their credit, Sportsman’s Guide did refund my purchase price with no problems whatsoever. This view is not intended to be an indictment of Sportsman’s Guide, other than the phony customer reviews, I just want other potential purchasers of this thing to go into the purchase with eyes wide open and aware of the many shortcomings it has. For just a few dollars more, one could purchase a entry level Bushnell rangefinder, and be, I’m convinced, much more satisfied. Please, don’t waste your time or money on this thing! The only reason I rated this with one star instead of none is that Amazon requires at least one star, there is no provision for zero.

|Great rangefinder for the price,
This is a good, basic rangefinder for the price. It’s accurate and simple enough to use without opening the manual. It is very small – to the point of being hard to handle if you have larger hands.
Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised with how well it works given the price.
