Stop guessing at distances while hunting or building with the Nikon ProStaff 550 laser rangefinder. Offering absolute precision in the palm of your hand, the ProStaff 550 employs Nikon's advanced Tru-Target ranging system, which lets users prioritize smaller and harder-to-range lone targets at the push of a button. As a result, it's easier than ever to range objects as small as fence posts, or get an instant read on that lone buck in the meadow. The unit also relies on Nikon's advanced ID technology to compensate for various incline or decline shooting angles--up to an incredible plus-or-minus 89 degrees (nearly vertical up or down). And thanks to Nikon's digital measurement processor, you'll enjoy speedy 1/2-yard accuracy within 99.5 yards, and 1-yard accuracy from 100 to 550 yards. On the other end of the spectrum, the unit can range as close as 11 yards, so you aren't restricted to long-distance targets only.
Add in such features as 6x multicoated optics, an eyeglass-friendly 18mm of eye relief, a continuous measurement mode, 100-percent waterproof and fogproof construction; and a maximum measurement of 733 yards and you have a comfortable, powerful range finder that leaves its competitors in the dust.

Better than description says!,

This review is from: Nikon 8370 Prostaff 550 Laser Rangefinder (Team Realtree) (Sports)
The son wanted one for his birthday and what the son wants the dad has to have. I surprised them both.
I read through product descriptions and reviews for 2 days on a multitude of web sites and settled on this one as the best one in my price range.
They both love it - the accuracy is within a very acceptable range.
Neither one can argue over distances any more.
It's proved to be accurate for both NE Missouri deer and turkey.
The terrain has not always been the best, but the Nikon 8370 550 Laser Rangefinder proved to be up to the task.
When the guys are happy and there is deer hanging - I'm happy.

I've bow hunted 5 times. In those times I've shot at two deer: The first was a miss...I shot under the deer b/c I grossly underestimated the yardage. The second opportunity came after I received the Nikon ProStaff 550 for a Christmas present from my girlfriend. It was a kill.
This is a very nice range finder. It's simple and compact enough to fit in your vest pocket. The Nikon Archer's Choice offers inclination compensation but with today's flat shooting bows (mine is set up to shoot around 275fps) and after having used the ProStaff 550, I can't imagine that it makes much of a difference. Twenty yards from a 15' treestand is going to shoot the same as twenty yards from the ground. Although physics dictates that the arrow trajectory will be affected as elevation changes, it's not going to be very much when you are only shooting twenty to forty yards. My kill came at twenty yards, the ProStaff 550 ranged it at twenty yards and my twenty yard pin put the arrow right...Read more

I have a older range finder that is just to big to have at the ready. This range finder is 1/3 the size of my old one and measures closer and farther then the old one. This is a great range finder at an even better price!
