NIKON Laser Rangefinders

Nikon has announced what may promise to be the ultimate bowhunter's rangefinder for 2008. With the help of Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo of Archer's Choice television fame, Nikon designed the rangefinder from the ground up specifically for real-world bowhunting situations. The NIKON Archer's Choice Bowhunting Rangefinder (8366) combines Nikon’s trademark speed, accuracy and simplicity with technology designed to give hunters the confidence to take the shot.

Nikon’s advanced ID Technology compensates for various incline or decline shooting angles - up to ±89-degrees of angle, which allows bowhunters to range targets from a treestand or in steep terrain with the same confidence and ease as ranging over flat ground-simply aim, push the button and plan your shot according to the displayed distance. Only one number is displayed, the correct distance needed to make the shot.

According to Jon LaCorte, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Nikon, "Ralph and Vicki are experts in bowhunting. We wanted them to design a rangefinder to do the things that bowhunters, in particular, need it to do. It’s fast, accurate, compact, ergonomic, waterproof / fogproof - and above all, it helps take the guesswork out of bowhunting."

The Nikon Bowhunting Rangefinder features Nikon's legendary multicoated optics, waterproof/fogproof ruggedness and pocket-sized portability. A Silent Technology neoprene case in RealTree APG camo for the ultimate in stealth bowhunting is also included.

The Nikon Buckmasters Laser 600 Range Finders (8354) are highly compact, waterproof laser range finders that will accurately display distances from 11 yards to 99.5 yards in 1/2 yard increments, and from 100 to 600 yards in 1 yard increments. This level of precision is made possible by Nikon's advanced microelectronics and optics, and will allow all hunters, including those that bowhunt and rifle hunt, to gauge distance more precisely for accurate shot placement.

The Nikon Buckmasters Laser 600 Range Finders features precisely ground and polished lens glass that is multicoated with anti-reflective compounds to improve light transmission, clarity, and color rendition. These Nikon Buckmasters Laser 600 Range Finders utilize a high contrast LED display to provide fast, accurate targeting against any background or in any lighting conditions.

Water resistant Nikon Buckmasters Laser 600 Range Finders measures ranges in yards or meters, and features an automatic power shutoff after the reading has been displayed for eight seconds.

Nikon Buckmasters Laser 600 Range Finders measures 3.7" x 1.6" x 2.8" (a little bigger than a normal pack of cigarettes) and weighs just 7.3 ounces without battery. Powered by one commonly available CR-2 lithium battery and an internal display shows the user how much battery power is remaining.

Nikon has once again stepped-up the pace in Laser Range Finders design and functionality - this time engineering a pocket sized, waterproof, fogproof unit made especially for western hunters and others who desire extreme long range precision and long term durability. Featuring a blend of cutting edge technology, painstaking design and rugged construction, the new Monarch Gold Laser 1200 Range Finders (8358) provide hunters with a new level of extreme range measurement accuracy.

Featuring Nikon's trademark Tru-Target Ranging System, the new Monarch Gold Laser 1200 Range Finders allow hunters to prioritize smaller and harder to range targets at the push of a button. In the First Target Priority mode, hunters can confidently range objects as small as fence posts or get an instant reading on lone animals on distant hillsides or in unobstructed clearings. The Distant Target Priority mode determines range to the farthest target the laser beam reaches, ideal for accurate ranging in those hunting situations where game animals may be partially obscured by grass or brush. The rangefinders unique reticle design also signals the user when ranging is in progress.

Weighing in at 9.8-ounces, (without the included CR2 Lithium battery) the 5.7" x 3.2" Monarch Gold Laser 1200 Range Finders have a selectable backlighting feature in the LCD display and quality Nikon 7-power multicoated optics for improved light transmission, clarity and color rendition. The range finders display also shows the user how much battery power is remaining. Utilizing a 25 millimeter objective lens, these laser range finders provide an exit pupil of 3.6mm for maximum brightness under less-than-ideal lighting conditions.

The adjustable eyepiece of the Monarch Gold Laser 1200 Range Finders provides a range of +/- 4 diopters and offers an incredible 18.6mm of eye relief - and it folds down for use with eyeglasses. In addition, the Monarch Gold Laser 1200 Range Finders have a real angle of view of 5.0 degrees, translating to a 35 degree apparent angle of view and a field of view of 262 feet at 1,000 yards.

If you've ever had to rely on a laser range finder to make accurate measurements in the field, you know how finicky and difficult they can be to use under certain circumstances. The result is that the hunters are constantly guessing what their range finders are actually ranging. Was it the deer or the trees behind the deer? Was the range to the prairie dog or the mound 20 yards behind the dog?

With an understanding of what these tough measuring tasks can mean in the field, Nikon, one of the world's leading manufacturers of sport optics, has announced the Nikon Monarch Laser800 Range Finder.

The Nikon Monarch Laser800 Range Finder features a lend of cutting edge technology, painstaking design and rugged construction to provide hunters with a new level of ranging accuracy.

The Nikon Monarch Laser800 Range Finder utilizes Nikon's original digital processor to provide faster, more accurate measurements in hunting conditions. The benefits of this digital processor are incredible 1/2-yard accuracy and unmatched consistency unlike typical range finders that use an analog processor, Nikon's original digital processor is unaffected by extremes in temperatures, so consistent ranging can be accomplished in even the toughest hunting conditions.

The unit measures ranges in either yards or meters, has full scanning capability and features an automatic power shutoff after the reading has been displayed for eight seconds.

The Nikon Monarch Laser800 Range Finder features an easy-to-grip black rubber armored body. It is tripod adaptable and includes a neck.
