Can this be used for firearm and bow hunting?

That is what I am using it for. You just have to have a good fix point, a steady hand or rest and decent light. There is a reason why this machine cost quite a bit less than other ones but for me it does just fine. RegardsR.

This range finder works well for hunting. It is quite accurate up to 300 yards for elk and moose and up to 225 yards for antelope and deer.

I have had very good luck with it for bow hunting as long as not in bad fog.

Yes,yes,yes. Got mine just a couple of weeks ago. Kept a deer in my sights from 101 yards down to 18 till I took it down.Love it :}

You can use it for bow hunting, however, it doesn't have shoot through style replaceable windows. It's certainly more geared toward shooting in an upward direction. For bow hunting from a ground blind, I'd look at other options. The camo pattern is a little strange for bow too unless you're hunting in tall reed grass or swampy areas.

Although I bought it for bow shooting (10 to 50 yds), I've taken if out to the gun range and it did measure on the 300 yard range. Above that you just have to have a steady hand and a good eye. Definitely a good tool and yes, I'd purchase it.

I'm not sure. I bought for my husband for hunting and he said it would not work for him but said it was a good practice bow.

This bow is a target bow, approved for use in NASP (National Archery in the School Program). While the bow does have penetrating power on par with a 35# re-curve, I would not see it as appropriate or humane for hunting more than small-game (bird, rabbit, squirrel, etc.).

It is a real bow and can be set to a draw length of 22/23, the only thing to check is your state requirements for minimum poundage. At that draw length it might not be a high enough poundage to legally hunt.

It's a long bow. It's not a bear-killer. It falls slightly above the kid category, and slightly less than a good solid long bow. But it's light and you could use it for hunting game up to the size of a deer perhaps. I wouldn't try a shot on one past sixty or seventy feet, though. Maybe twenty pound draw is all. I took a shot with it once on a throwaway arrow and the arrow went about 150' high and arced down cleanly into a canyon. I would say it makes a good bow for a kid, or for a campsite bow, or for light hunting if you can get in fairly close. For the money I was happy.

I do not know. You can ask Joe Bell, the editor of "Bow and Arrow Hunting Magazine". He will print your question and his answer in an up-coming issue of the magazine. He does this every issue.

Ya, I suppose any compound bows on the market it is suitable. When tested to its 400fps standard, it's not capable!!! If your not shooting over 320fps you can purchase a more durable target that you can fire fixed blade broadheads at for a much lower price!!!

I would not hunt black bear with this crossbow .I would only hunt deer and smaller game .

Yes the reel can be used, but it requires an additional mounting kit for crossbows, to get the reel in the proper orientation. Crossbows are usually too powerful and difficult to load, to bowfish with reasonably. 35-45 pounds is all that is needed. More than that causes the arrow to go all the way through, which is a real pain to deal with. Highly recommend this reel on a recurve bow instead.

as long as the bow has a scope rail in, weaver or picatinny style, then yes i do believe it would work. After a quick search u may also need risers.

I am a turkey hunter but not a big game hunter, I use this for Duck and Goose hunting and it is awesome. For waterfowl it is a "Home-run", for shooting a bow or rifle for turkey or big game......probably not the right blind. You can unzip the side windows and the front part slides down and when we get up to shoot geese, we just throw the front down and start shooting. Not sure that would work for a turkey or deer, at least the ones in Colorado or Nebraska it probably would not work.

Definitely as long as you have the right arrows for it and heads. I bought some arrows off amazon that weren't strong enough and when I'd shoot them they would bend severely and take a flight pattern maybe two or three feet off target. I would recommend wooden arrows for target practice and a strong aluminum arrow shaft for hunting so you can put a good and sharp head on it for piercing the animal. Allen Company sells a 31" shaft recommended for 55lbs-75lbs with the broadhead inserts already installed.

Christine, you could, I suppose, use this range-finder to hunt squirrel and rabbit, if you can get them to stand still long enough to get a reading on them. I like that idea though; I am a sharpshooter and prefer to use a .22 for the squirrel also, it's just more of a challenge. My rifle scope does the range-finding for me in that scenario. Try it out. You'll find several uses for this range-finder. It's a good one. I really like mine.
