Are you ready for hunting season? I know it may seem a little early, but I don’t think the plethora of pumpkin spice products are in the stores just yet. But you may want to start getting your gear in order and purchasing those new accessories you just can’t do without, like Crimson Trace’s (CT) New HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars or the HorizonLine Laser Rangefinders.

Although these are all new Crimson Trace accessories, I had the opportunity to work with prototypes while on a ladies prairie dog hunt this past June. I was impressed with the packaging when I first opened the shipping box. It was like sculptures in display cases. I felt like I was holding something very important. And I was because I now know how vital it was that we had these tools on our hunt. I’m excited to share some of the product highlights, as I’m sure you’ll want to know why you need to purchase your own.
HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars
The HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars are an all-in-one tool – which means there is no need to carry a set of binos and a rangefinder. The binoculars arrived with everything I needed to start using them. Inside the bottom of the box, I found the user guide, a harness, a bivy case and a CR2 battery. The user guide is straightforward and easy to follow. I took the time to set the diopters to my vision, which made for a crystal clear view. I wear reading glasses, and one eye is stronger than the other, so the adjustments helped.
Next, I played with the different modes of operation. There are three types: line of sight (LOS), angled modified range (AMR) and long range mode (LRM). Depending on positions and terrain, these can all be adjusted as needed.
The buttons on the top of the Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars were easy to feel with my right hand. Once I learned each button’s function and how to read the menu, I could easily change modes of operation.
Features:
MSRP: $999.99
HorizonLine Laser Rangefinders
There are two types of HorizonLine Rangefinders. The 2000 Laser Rangefinder has an 11 to 2,000-yard reflective range, while the 4000 Laser Rangefinder has an 11 to 4,000-yard reflective range. Both are the same weight, 7.2 ounces and made of Aerospace Aluminum.
As with the HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars I took the time to adjust the diopter, read through the user guide and practice using the menu with different modes. I like how well the rangefinder fits in my hand. I can easily reach the buttons without the fear of dropping it.
Features:
MSRP: $349.99 and $449.99
Crimson Trace’s HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars are available online and in stores. Watch for the HorizonLine Laser Rangefinders availability in September. You’ll want them for your upcoming hunts.
