I have a bushnell 450 I believe it called. Only about $150 and its good for turkey and bow hunting.

I love my Nikon 550 it was a world better than the bushnell scout I had before that. the nikon has never failed to give me a quick accurate reading, batteries last forever, and is pretty tough (i've dropped mine from 22ft and it hit more than one branch on the way down and still works flawless)

I have had 2 Bushnell that worked awesome.  Still use the Scout with ARC.  Hard to see in low light and have been thinking of trying one with an illuminated display.  Leupold I think, but maybe Nikon.  The Archer's Choice from Nikon would serve you well if all you wanted it was for bow hunting.

What is your price range? There are a lot of good range finders on all ends of the spectrum.

I have a Nikon Buckmasters something or other. Love it!! From up close and personal in the turkey blind or out far in the deer stand, it works great!!

Have had Nikon and Leupold and sold them both to get Bushnell 1500 because it was much faster and easier to hit distant targets. It failed after one season of hunting and golf. Bushnell replaced with 1600 and it is working great.
