A bow mountable range finder for elevated tree stand use includes a housing and a triangular tubular chamber containing air and medium viscosity liquid. The triangular chamber contains a horizontal venting section, a vertical indicating section, an inclined section and a horizontal reservoir with air and liquid freely movable throughout chamber depending upon the orientation of the range finder. The indicating section is translucent and has a removable graduated scale calibrated for various heights above ground, a battery powered lamp illuminates through the indicating section and scale. A switch is operable by an archer outwardly of the housing. The reservoir section is sized to accommodate approximately one-half the fluid capacity of the indicating section when the range finder is horizontal and thus allows for rapid lowering of the liquid level when the range finder is rotated counterclockwise. The venting section is sized small enough to impede liquid flow beyond the half full level of the indicating section.
A bow mountable range finder for elevated tree stand use comprising a housing, an integrally formed tubular triangular chamber containing a quantity of air and liquid, means mounting said chamber in said housing, said tubular chamber including an elongated horizontal venting section having opposite end portions, a vertically extending translucent indicating section having opposite end portions, an inclined section having opposite end portions and a horizontally disposed reservoir section, respective said end portions of said venting section being connected between said reservoir and one of said end portions of said indicating section, respective said end portions of said inclined section being connected between said reservoir and the other of said end portions of said indicating section, said indicating section and said inclined section being substantially filled with liquid when said venting section and said reservoir section are disposed horizontally, a translucent graduated precalibrated scale having yard marks thereon and positionable rearwardly of said indicating section for reading the liquid level in said indicating section by an archer, means for removably securing said scale to said housing.
A range finder adapted to be attached to a bow comprising:
