Default Any affordable rangefinders out there?

I have not seen this brought up on here much. Does anyone know if there is a good rangefinder out there for under 200 bucks? I know we all talk about bows on here, but rarely any optics. In the east we shoot less than 40 yards normally, but in the west you got to have a 70-80 yard pin. I didnt believe it til I seen it. 60 yards is now my max which is still a shot I wouldnt want to take without an accurate measurement.

I bought a Bushnell Sport 450 a few weeks ago for around $150, but I took it back and returned it the same day. My father gave me Leopeuld Wind River range finder the same day, no idea at all if its "better" but I'm sure new that it cost quite a bit more even though its a couple years old -- works just fine for me anyway and its hard to beat free.
