[QUOTE="aron, post: 135915, member: 551"] I would give the Sig Kilo 2000 a good look. It is a $500 unit that is on sale from SWFA for $350 right now (unfortunately they are backordered). It has the angle comp you are looking for and also "long range" capable. Range finders all work by measuring the "time lapse" from when the beam leaves the unit to the time it returns. This will always give you the line of sight distance (not horizontal distance which what you are interested in). There are sensors and gizmos inside the rangefinder that determine the angle of the rangefinder and will use that information to calculate the horizontal distance (what you want for shooting distance). Most rangefinders have this option. Your 44 yd shot at a very steep bank (45 degrees) regardless if the bank is higher or lower is 31 yd horizontal distance so you should be using the 30 yd pin instead of 44 yds. Sitting in a 15 ft treestand, angle comp isn't going to be a huge factor. At 20 yd line of sight distance, the horizontal distance is only 19.4 yds. [/QUOTE]
