Re: Seeking honest reviews on HHA OPTIMIZER

Pros: extremely accurate, must be used with rangefinder for best results. Gave me great confidence to know I could hit exactly where I aimed. Shot Five deer with it last year--58yds, 56yds, 51yds, 44yds and 17 yds. Easy to use except in low light, can't see dial to set distance, installed small gree...

Could not shoot without one. Use a HHA Optimizer so need to know exact yardage if i am shooting over 34 yards. With a range finder I took 4 deer over 45 yards this year. Use a Nikon with arc capability. It will read to end of legal shooting light.
