Rangefinders – An Essential Tool for Spring Turkey Hunting

RICHMOND, VA (March 7, 2022) ⎯ One huge factor in making an accurate shot with short-range weapons like shotguns, vertical bows, and crossbows is knowing the exact distance to the target. This is especially important when the target is extremely small, like the head and/or heart/lung area of a wild turkey. With bows, mis-guess the range by just a yard or three, and you’ll miss. Before hunting, you should have patterned your shotgun/choke tube/turkey load combination to know it’s maximum effective range. In both instances, using a laser rangefinder will give you the precise information needed to make a clean, one-shot kill.

GPO USA has an exciting new solution for spring gobbler getters – the RANGEGUIDE™ 8×32 and 10×32 rangefinding binoculars. These extremely small, lightweight rangefinding binoculars take this category to a new level by combining exceptional edge-to-edge clarity and precise ranging on targets from 6 yards out to nearly 1.75 miles in a package just 5.4 inches tall, 4.9 inches wide, and weighing just a tick over 24 oz. – perfect for the run & gun hunting. They are the most compact high-quality premium rangefinding binoculars in the world.

The compact RANGEGUIDE™ 32 features a magnesium frame for both light weight and strength. The eye-safe Class 1 laser produces a lightning-fast 0.25-second response time with true-range angle technology that calculates the proper distance to the target after measuring the angle to the target, giving you a precise inclination/declination compensation reading. Scan mode provides three readings per second via its orange OLED display that offers nine adjustable brightness levels and operates with manual or automatic brightness functionality. And for those who are also long-range rifle shooters, the RANGEGUIDE even measures ambient temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius, humidity, and air pressure to help with shot placement on long-range shots. The display provides both the line-of-sight distance and the user’s choice of adjusted distance, angle, or temperature.

Coupled with the GPObright™ high-transmission lens coatings, the RANGEGUIDE’s double-HD laminated 32mm objective lenses are exceptionally beneficial for transmitting light in the twilight hours. These premium lenses maximize the brightness, sharpness, and resolution of the optical image, something not typical in a rangefinding binocular. The wide field of view is 405’ and 306’ (8×32 or 10×32) at 1,000 yards, and eye relief is 18mm or 16mm, respectively. The RANGEGUIDE also features a diopter focus and orange display focus adjustments on both left and right sides of the ocular tube. The RANGEGUIDE also utilizes GPO’s premium cut-brass-geared focus-wheel system for a tight, consistent turning radius without any center focus wheel free play. The entire body is protected with an armor coating that makes it tough enough to use in any outdoor environment. 

“GPO has transitioned to leading innovation in this industry. This product will make obsolete the hip-side handheld rangefinder because a hunter can now carry a functioning, extremely compact rangefinder that is also an incredible binocular,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO. “It will change the equipment you carry.” 

These new RANGEGUIDE 32mm binoculars will be shipping from Germany in spring, 2022, with a retail price of $1,157.99 and $1,210.99 for the 8×32 and 10×32, respectively, and will be available at both GPO dealers nationwide and online at www.gpo-usa.com., where you can also find out more information about GPO’s full line of riflescopes, binoculars, rangefinders, and accessories. 

Be ready this turkey season and every season to follow with a new GPO RangeGuide. You won’t regret it – but that turkey sure will.
