The 2025 fall hunting season is off and running, and several members of Team Realtree have already enjoyed an outstanding early bow season down in the Georgia hardwoods. Thanks to the new partnership with Vortex, the crew has been well-equipped with quality optics, including the Vortex Viper 3000 HD laser rangefinder. This premium optic is packed with features that make it ideal for everything from bowhunting and turkey hunting the eastern timber to getting a precise reading on a mule deer or bull elk bedded on a rocky western slope. It has three ranging modes that will display the angle-compensated distance to the target; the actual line of sight range, and a scanning mode that allows you to scan multiple targets at once and ensure that the distance reading you’re getting is the true one to the target, and not one obstructed by brush.

This rangefinder also has a high-definition optical system, meaning the glass is clear and clean, and is equipped with protective coatings that resist scratches and dirt and provide excellent low-light transmission. It’s waterproof and shockproof, and will range reflective targets (think rock faces) up to 3,000 yards away and softer targets (animals) up to 2,000 yards away. It weighs just 9.1 ounces, and of course has Vortex’s unconditional Lifetime Warranty, making it the only rangefinder you’ll ever need, regardless of what you’re chasing.
