If you are looking for a cheap rangefinder for hunting this is it. Its max range is 450 yards or so, but honestly if you go past 200 yards the rangefinder will kinda lag while your hand shakes trying to get a good scan on the target, so its better for hunting purposes rather than golf. If you are going to use it for golf, just use it for approach shots. That being said, it has a scan function that takes forever to hold down the button to activate, that works well enough. The readings are in +-1 yard increments. My Nikon coolshot 80vr has .5 yard increments, so I noticed that the Halo was off by a yard most of the time. If you are finding your Archery gap and doing some short range shots, this may effect the size of your gap. This device has a slope function that is really helpful and nice. The eye relief is poor, so if you wear glasses, you have to take your glasses off, or really jam the eye piece into your lens to get a clear picture. The 6x magnification would be better with a better eye relief. Also the display is really faint and hard to see in low light situations compared to bushnell, Nikon, leupold etc. The weight is something like 3oz so that is definitely a plus. the physical shape of the device, although fits nicely in the hands, is awkward to find a generic neoprene cover or strap to protect it, since this product does NOT come with a case. Buy if you want cheap, but effective and light rangefinder, this is the one. Read full review

I am very impressed with the features and quality of the halo xl450 with angle intelligence. The optics are clear and the display reads in either meters or yards. The angle intelligence is a great feature which will help put you on target if shooting uphill or downhill. I am very happy with my purchase.

This is the second Halo product I have purchased. I obviously like the product as I now own two. These things are very reliable and are as accurate as it gets. This one has a few more features than my first one. The extra features were a must for my little lady. She will benefit from the angle information while bow hunting. They are middle of the road as far as expense, but by no means are they less than perfect as far as function. If you are looking for a range finder this is the one you need. I have had my other one for 3 years now and have taken game because of the accuracy of the tool.They are good in all weather conditions. I even had a leak in my water bottle and pretty much drowned it. I took it out of the puddle, shook it off, cleaned the lenses and it worked just fine. I would recommend removing the battery if you aren't going to be using it during the off season only because you should remove batteries from anything for storage, this is just a general statement, but will definitely make any battery operated product last longer. You can't ask for a better product. Read full review

At bowhunting ranges, this rangefinder is dead-on accurate. Tested using ranges that had been measured with a tape measure spot-on out to 40 yards (I shoot out to 40 yards while practicing, but will only shoot out to 30 yards when hunting) The "AI" (angle Intelligence or logic) feature is really nice too - will compensating for being up in a treestand when hunting. Importand because an arrow drops a specific amount over a specific horizontal distance. This takes the extra yardage created by line of sight at an inclined angle out, allowing you to sight in correctly. I had read other reviews that this is not for ranging in low light, as the measurements aren't visible. This is true, but I purchased knowing this is a limitation. That is a trade-off I was willing to make for an accurate unit at this budget-friendly price. Other notes, this unit is lightweight, compact and appears to be ruggedly built. CR2 Lithium batteries aren't too expensive, and tend to last much longer than alkaline batteries, so battery cost should be a wash. All in all, a great product at a great price = value!Read full review
