Garmin Xero L60i Laser Rangefinder
With the Garmin Xero L60i laser rangefinder, you can range your target animal out to 1,500 yards and trees out to 2,000, and it will drop a GPS waypoint on your target and pair it with a topographic map overlay that you can see through the device. With this tech in hand, you’ll have distance, location and even navigation features to guide you directly to a downed animal or distant vantage. Onboard ballistics provide the data you need for precision shooting. $2,499.99; garmin.com
