Rangefinders

No matter what weapon you choose to hunt with, having the correct range is paramount for making an accurate shot. When it comes to hunting, precision isn’t optional, it’s essential. Being off by just 10 yards can mean the difference between a hit and a miss. Whether you're in a tree stand at 25 yards or glassing an elk from a thousand, knowing the exact distance can mean the difference between a clean ethical shot and a missed opportunity. That’s where high-performance rangefinders come in.

At BlackOvis, we specialize in field-tested, hunter-approved rangefinders that take the guesswork out of every shot, allowing you to hunt with confidence and consistency whether you're looking for an laser rangefinder or looking to have angle range compensation in your rangefinders, you can expect to purchase your precise rangefinder at BlackOvis.

Rangefinders have become a non-negotiable part of the serious hunter’s kit. In today’s age of precision shooting and long-range archery, guessing yardage just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Being off by even a few yards, especially with archery, can lead to missed shots or, worse, wounded animals. Rangefinders for hunting allow you to:

• Accurately Determine Distance – Know the exact yardage between you and your target within a fraction of a second
• Compensate for Angles – Most modern rangefinders feature built-in angle range compensation for true horizontal distance, critical for tree stand or mountain hunters
• Enhance Ethical Shooting – Eliminate doubt and make informed, humane shot decisions
• Scout More Effectively – Range terrain features, bedding areas, and landmarks to prepare for a stalk or ambush

Whether you're bowhunting whitetails at 30 yards or shooting steel at 1,200, a reliable rangefinder bridges the gap between estimation and accuracy.

BlackOvis takes pride in offering products that we would (and do) take into the field ourselves. Here’s what we recommend you look for when shopping for a rangefinder:

Make sure the unit ranges as far as you realistically hunt. Bowhunters can often use a 600-yard model, while long-range rifle hunters will want 1,000+ yards of performance. Many rangefinders now offer effective readings that reflective targets up to 2,500 yards or more and scan mode technology for the ability to hunt multiple targets.

Most hunting takes place at elevation, from tree stands to mountain slopes. Angle-compensating rangefinders (often called LOS or TBR modes) adjust the yardage to give you a true shooting distance, taking vertical drop into account.

A good rangefinder should offer near-instant readings, even when the target is moving. Compare and look for models with fast processors and clear, readable displays. especially in low-light settings.

Hunting conditions aren’t gentle. Your rangefinder should be waterproof, fogproof, shock-resistant, and ready to handle everything from snow-covered ridges to dusty desert flats.

Most rangefinders have 6x to 8x magnification, which helps you lock onto targets at a distance. Paired with a clear reticle or aiming circle, magnification improves accuracy and usability.

Some high-end rangefinders include ballistic profiles that match your rifle or cartridge, giving you holdover or drop compensation right on screen.

Your rangefinder is only as good as your system. There are a wide-range of rangefinder accessories designed to protect, mount, and enhance your optic:

• Rangefinder Pouches & Harnesses – Keep your unit secure and ready at a moment’s notice
• Lanyards & Tethers – Prevent accidental drops when glassing from high or unstable terrain
• Tripod Adapters – Lock in long-range readings with rock-solid stability
• Digiscoping Gear – For some rangefinder binocular models, capture video or images through the lenses
