In recent years, the proliferation of the laser rangefinder has given hunters a tremendous tool to hunt more responsibly and increase their success. Laser rangefinders give hunters previously unheard-of ability to accurately measure distance to ranges of a half mile or more.
This allows all hunters, whether they shoot rifle, bow or muzzleloader, to determine if an animal is in range. With practice and knowledge of a particular weapon's trajectory, shot placement should be more accurate, producing quicker, cleaner kills. When employed by a responsible hunter, a rangefinder should greatly reduce the chances of wounding and losing game.
