i have another version of a bow mounted rangefinder and fond that it works great in open terrain but get 1 little branch in the way and your hooped.
alot of times while hunting with a bow, shooting between trees and branchs is a nessitity in order to come to full draw undected by the animal.
its much better to practice learning your ranges without the aid of a bow mounted rangefinder,if one cant closely estimate the yardage up to 30 or 40 yards then one should not be even considering the shot imo

I have a mount for my crossbow and find it really helpfull but heavy and awkward to use.

There are other options for ranging game from your bow sight - here's a couple.

ah hahaha i went and bought this off their website last summer (bullseyerangefinder) , really cheap seamed to work ok, not to mention when it came time to use it i was shaken like a dog chit'n razor blades, but you need different ones, for my self - elk, wt deer, mule deer, moose.
The scale that hey have is pretty close to the actual brisket to the top of the shoulders, you can even enter your own custom measurements if you find theirs are out to lunch. They have just about every animal on there
If a guy could have it set up like his site pins, but off to the side might be better and easier to see

There's absolutely no reason why that one shouldn't work for you - providing you can put it in such a position as to get a clear view of your intended target, that is. Used in strictly open terrain it'd be great.

When mounted on the bow you are severely limiting yourself as to the mobility of the rangefinder. For that $300 you could get a hand-held, angle compensating rangefinder that is much easier to use and handle in tight situations. Instead of waving the whole bow around (while trying to maintain full draw) all you do is raise your hand to your face and voila!....range set.

It's all about movement - they spot movement and hear sound and smell you before you even know they're there.

Boys ... that isnt a range finder ... that just appears to be a movable single pin sight with a digital readout ... like a sureloc only .... cheesyier

Have to agree with "Bowwalker", use a handheld rangefinder, and then concentrate solely on taking the shot,(proper form, full draw, correct pin, smooth release, etc.) It's hard enough trying to remember all this during all the excitement, without anymore things to worry about all at the same time. I would think it would be a lot harder to get a good, consistant, and accurate reading with a bow mounted rangefinder while at full draw when hunting in foliage. I use a handheld rangefinder all the time, and often have to range not only the animal, but items around the animal as well in order to be satisfied I have an accurate reading. Trying this at full draw would be tiring, frustrating, and more likely lead to a hurried and poor shot.

You're right about the excitement and adrenalin adding to the moment! It's really hard just trying to concentrate on your shooting form, let alone trying to range an animal with your bow up and quivering at full draw.

The best scenario is having a buddy with you. He/she can range the animal and you can focus on the shot. Just ask Bochunk2000 - he's helped me a few times.
