Product Review: Leupold Vendetta By Staff Shooter Danny Oostenbrink
“I have recently purchased the Leupold Vendetta bow mounted range finder and set it up on my Mathews Monster XLR8”. “I found it easy to follow the instructions, both off the internet and the booklet enclosed. It took me about 15 minutes to set up and 10 minutes to sight in the red dot laser with the sight paper included. It works exactly as advertised”. Inset: Leupold Vendetta Bow Mounted Range Finder Stockists of Leupold Products.

“I shoot competition 3D Archery and have been a keen hunter for over 20 years. “I tested the Vendetta at my archery club using it on the 3D targets using field points only, I never missed a kill shot and little, to no vibration or noise, I will be going on a hunt in September and will be after goats, wild boar, rabbits and cats, so I will provide an update when I return”.
