I guess I have to ask the question. Why do you need a range finder for bow hunting? I mean 40 yards max.

personally I shoot out to 50 yards (when conditions are perfect) I like the added confidence of using a range finder so i can make the best shot possible...the difference between 30 & 40 yards can make a huge difference...lots of bow hunters use rangefinders

Yes, a lot of us use range finders from the blind to another point etc.  I when sitting in my stand, want to know certain points where a deer crosses, and which pins would be better used.  I personally have never used or know anyone that uses the Leupold Vendetta but can see a practical side to its use.

thats what I do now, pick out "landmarks" (stumps, stones, ect) so I know distances where the deer might cross...but when the big buck comes through I always second guess myself! figured this setup would be very practical!
