Bushnell Debuts NEW Bone Collector 1800 and 1000 Laser Rangefinders

Rudimentary rangefinders were invented in the 18th century to measure water canals. Then, NASA made more accurate and technologically-advanced models (the size of a house probably) that could measure the distance to stars and planets. Eventually, we were blessed with handheld units that could fit in your palm courtesy of Bushnell back in 1996. Now, they are continuing that growth 27 years later with some more models in the Bone Collector 1800 and Bone Collector 1000.
