Shot this morning before heading to work and guess what, second time I tried to use my range finder to confirm a distance as I fine tune my sights, I get no readings. Guess my battery picked the perfect time to die. I leave on Tuesday!
So, if you haven't, check your batteries. Carry a spare if they aren't new.

Good reminder. I have taken to carrying a spare RF battery and micro head lamp in my bino harness just in case.

I just change my battery every year before the season. I've never had a rangefinder that needed batteries changed during the season.

Spare always, sometimes multiple. I used to have a 1st gen Bushnell that had some sort of parasitic drain. Wouldn't last a week. So bad I would take the battery out when not actively hunting. Just picked up a new vortex, and amazingly takes the same battery 20 years later, so I have plenty of spares.

Sodak, I still have one of those Bushnell rangefinders. That thing still works great and can go 3-4 years on a battery!
