I'd argue that the most critical skill in bowhunting is range estimation. A yard off in either direction means a miss or, worse, a wounded animal. That's why rangefinders are such essential bowhunting kit, and why [Leupold's new bow-mounted rangefinder](<https://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/rangefinders/vendetta-bow-rangefinders/vendetta-2-archery-rangefinder/>) is a radical advance in technology. With the push of a simple switch on your bow's riser, you can range targets even at full-draw, and turn problematic guesses into consistent hits.
