Halo Optics XL450-7 Range Finder

First if you are a long time eyeglass wearer, you will easily find the right eye relief. The pic is me using iPhone trying to demonstrate its ability to calculate range & angle from treestand. I read somewhere it won’t calc the distance, but it did within a yard.I was hunting a new area and had very little time to prescout the area. I wanted to range up to 70 yards to 100 yards. I shopped around, looked at some of the other more expensive manufacturers and models, I wasn’t feeling putting down that kind of money.I saw the camo model go on sale in some of the sporting goods stores but for about 30% more than this one. They appeared to have all the same features, except color.I figured I take the risk through Amazon on this model and it was not a budget buster being less than $100. And even though it’s not camo, really does that matter?I took it with me the last couple of weeks of archery season here in Florida. It worked well in both low light and in the bright Florida mid-day sunshine.I had some pre-measured range distances from the ground and this calculated the distance and angle from the stand. I had a young turkey and small bobcat that I used this to try measurements of moving targets (not running) and this worked fine.My opinion this is worth the money and worked as well or better than the $300-$500 models out there.

Used this on a recent hunting trip. Distances measured matched up with the distances given by the guides. Compared distances with my buddy's range finder and they were within a yard or two of each other. Display is clear and easy to read. I played around with these when I first got them and while the unit isn't lit, if what you're distancing is lit up you may be able to read the display in low light/night. I was able to distance a car under a streetlight down the street at night. The reviews seemed mixed on this but I'm glad I snatched it up when it was a deal of the day. Came in handy on the hunt. I was able to get some readings of 453ish meters but that was the max I saw which is fine since this claims only 450m capability. The controls are easy it's only 2 buttons. 1 changes the modes yards, yards with angle, meters, and meters with angle. The other turns it on and is used to get the distance. Focus ring works well too.Really hard to get a picture of it in action but I tried.

Received my rangefinder quickly through Amazon. It is exactly as I expected it to be, seems to be accurate and easy to use. Haven't had it out in the field yet but just like my last Halo I expect it to work exactly as described. Only downfall is the lanyard that comes in the package was not there.

The media could not be loaded. I've had this for almost 2 years. Ive been using it hard the whole time. I took it turkey hunting about 2 months ago I went to look for it last night nowhere to be found. So I went to my hunting spot this morning and sure enough I left it in the woods. It's been raining hard for a week here. I wiped it off put it up to my eye and it's still working and still accurate. I would recommend this range finder to anybody and would buy again in a heartbeat. I thought for sure that this was 100 dollars gone but I was proven wrong. It has fallen out of treestands out the back of the truck and forgotten in the woods for 2 months and it's still going strong. The video is from this morning after finding it

I had a bush now for several years but then lost it on a trip to Africa. Frankly I did not want to spend a small fortune for some thing I only used on occasion so I just didn’t bother replacing it and went without for several years. Then I purchased a new crossbow a CP 400 that was giving me genuinely authentic shots out to 100 yards and I thought man I’ve got to have a new rangefinder. I did some research I ran across this one the price was certainly reasonable and as it turns out it’s a outstanding product works well it’s accurate fits really nice in your hand and it’s a great companion for my new crossbow. If you’re looking for accuracy and great economics had a decent price look no further.

I bought this so I will know the distance of my targets when shooting. Right now I know the distance to my neighbor's house and the mailbox at the top of the hill.

Compact size, accurate readings at realistic hunting ranges, comes with a battery. Easy to use. Fast “On”. Bow and .22 Long Rifle shooter’s delight for zero, ranging and hunting. Bests estimating ranges by steps. Some users mentioned having problems using this device wearing glasses. I was able to use it wearing glasses, although I did have to press them close to my face. I tried it out at dusk to simulate ranging near the end of legal hunting hours. No problems. Yes, the aiming box was sometimes hard to see, but not enough to downgrade my rating. One reviewer suggested tilting the device towards a brighter background to read results and this worked great for low light conditions. I was able to range livestock and tree trunks well past 100 yds easily. 450 yds was no problem with a large enough object to reflect the laser light back to the unit. Suggest ranging known landmarks in advance if low light/range is an issue. My first laser rangefinder purchase after much research. Would highly recommend this item/brand and will consider it as a future gift purchase!

Came out of the box with no lanyard
