Im with you on this rozman those range finders are expensive,and i also dont shoot past 30 yrds,i also pace off the distances and use markers in my kill zones.never wanted to spend 300+ for a gadget i would probably drop from my stand anyway and break.I also dont shoot more than a 100 yrds for gun hunts so i feel my scope thats sighted in for that distance will do the job.But to each his own .i can see where out west they could come in handy
