1. are they good ?

Ans: HELL YES they are, aspecially if your using a bow !!!

2. accurate ?

Ans: up to +- 1 meter... I have a set of compact bushnell 600 YArd range finders.... WE actually used them on a bridge one day while we we surveying... +- 1 meter

3. most accurate ?

Ans: I only know mine are..... BUT I think they are all good, atleast the LAser new ones are....

4. Most common....

Ans. I think Busshnells are... at least thats what I was told and the Price was right

5. Drawbacks ?

Ans. MOVEMENT, It sucks when you have to lift a pair of Rangefinders up to your face and Click on the critter. Especially bowhunting. I like to have them afield and click on things when I do my calling, (usually for elk) then I know what is 40 yards away....30 yards... And Anything closer is DEAD Anyways I never really used them big game hunting exept for that deer I shot this year at 418 YArds....

HOpe that helped some ?!?!?!
