I see no use for it for gun hunting (I havent even use it when I've been out west). But for bowhunting, it is a MUST! I use that thing as soon as I get in the stand and when deer come in. Like others have said, 5 yards can make the difference in in a dead deer or not

Hardly ever. I use one at the range when sighting in rifles, MZers etc or when putting out my archery targets for practice sessions. My bow shoots flat enough that I only use one pin out to 35 yards (my self imposed limit) so no need there. I hardly ever rifle hunt fields so really no use for it there either. It is one of those things that I once toted to/from the deer stand every time, but I now leave it in my truck most of the time.

I have one and carry it with me, but few of my setups allow more than a 25 yard shot. I do use it sometimes though and, when I need it, it is nice to have.
