good point!! If you can't open up shooting lanes at least 40 yrds you know the shots will be close if not under the stand.i don't think anybody would need one if the animal is under the stand.and a seasoned bowhunter should be able to cleanly take an animal under 40yrds with out one.i've done it and still do it t this day.i do measure 20,30,40 yrds from my stand though but don't need a range finder.i guess if you had money out the wazzoo by all means.just my opinion.
