Yes not much doubt there. With better arrows and practise, I would go 20-25 yds.

Yes....plenty fast enough. You could range out to 35-40 yards and still have enough energy left for a clean kill. People have killed deer for decades with bows that did not put out the energy this crossbow does.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

You can hunt deer with it. It depends on the weight though, I wouldn't go below 45lbs

I shot a whitetail doe with mine at 58yds. She ran 40 yds before dying. The Recruit can do anything those high$$ bows can do

if there is an item ( my case a deer or a target ) it is very accurate but a friend was looking for a distance to a spot in a field and it had nothing to bounce the signal off so it wouldn't work. the item has to be vertical and substancial.

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.

Gerard's answer is spot on. If you're using this for hunting, although it can be shot accurately out to 60 - 100 yards, it is probably not a good idea to try to take an animal at those extreme ranges as there's the possibility of only wounding the animal and not killing it.If you're just curious how far the bolt would fly if you're going for maximum distance, it'll easily go a few hundred yards, so do NOT fire it in the air. You have no idea where it'll come down.

I can only state that it gives very accurate readings right where you are holding it. For down range - I would think at least the wind could vary.

That is why I bought mine, after the fact, but I really don't know, and I hope I never find out!! I expect it will at least minimize the damage should I hit another deer.

The range listed in the specs is266.7 yards. That's a little short of 300 yards. Mine works great through around 150 yards of wooded area. Depending on your terrain you MIGHT be able to reach 300 yards if it was clear line of sight and no trees or other obstructions in the way.

I would be confident to 500 yards. I wouldn't take a longer shot than that on a deer.

Yes, however depending on the quality if your bow you may not be able to use that setting. The wheel may not turn that far. Or at least mine won't it only goes to 63 yards. But my bow is not that fast. So, if you have a fast high quality bow you may get it out to the 80 yard mark.

i use it for hunting and as long as the target is solid it is very accurate but if i look at a tree line during hunting season (no leaves) sometimes ti doesn't work. i havent tried it on tree lines with leaves.

This will not do any thing for slope or angles. It will give accurate readings to an object, like a tree or rock. As a former bowhunter, I would figure range to a particular tree, and then just use the correct pin and aim low. It works!

No doubt in my mind that it will kill a turkey or deer out to 20-25 yards. Although not the fastest crossbow at further distances, but I was still burying the bolt up to the fletching at 25 yards.

It magnifies 6x, but you cannot adjust the magnification. It says the effective range is up to 550 yards, but I've never tried that far. I usually scope a trunk of big tree less than 100 yards. It's hard to lock on small trees and I've never tried aiming it at the deer, but I think it's good enough for deer and small game if you aim it at surrounding tree or rock. I know it's not fog proof, and I don't think it's waterproof either.

Yes. Once you get the yardage correct. With this sight you should hit 40 yards no problem.

i have shots as clsoe as 3 or 4 feet. The problem is the distant shots. it's difficult to spot and evaluate deer size targets at much past 50 yards.
