I keep mine in a pouch on the front of belt. However, most of the time I keep my one pin sight set at 25 yards to shoot from zero to 30. After 30 I'll use range finder. If I have time. In the thick woods I hunt your lucky to see past 30 and it happens so quick grabbing a range finder is a rarity.

I use a retractable tether on mine and I have it mounted on my bino harness. So far I like it. It’s handy. I don’t remember the brand of it. I had bought for work for my fire gear. I’ll send pics later.

 

Ok

No cover but if you use a bino harness these work great. I’ve used it with both the basic elastic harness and with a Sitka pouch type.

I've tried to get a couple more, but this guy hasn't produced any Range Snaps in about three years. I now use a regular finger sling. Works great

 

I use a rangefinder lanyard from Hillside Custom here on AT. Wear it across my body and have the rangefinder tucked underneath my right arm. I am able to quickly grab it and range then slide it back under when I am done. It does not move around or slide. Have used a pouch and retractable tether before and honestly this is faster and stays out of the way for me. Being under my arm adds protection from the elements.

Yeah, I've always thought that would be a good solution especially stalking. Do you have a link to these?

Yep, the Range Snap is really cool. I just unclip it and put it in my front Bino harness pocket if it’s rainy or dusty. I guess I’ll just use some paracord and a small clip if the Range snap ever needs replaced.

 

I once researched purchasing the pieces to make the range snap.
Works out to about $1.50.
Maybe I'll go into business.

 

I have used this for years, but no clue where I got it but remember it was inexpensive. It clips to my safety harness or backpack and it comes off the retractor if I want to put the rangefinder in my pocket.

EDIT: I Googled - Nikon retractable rangefinder tether. Lots to choose from.

I use a Gear Keeper. It's designed to be used for radio mics in semi trucks but it also works fine with rangefinders.

 

I keep my range finder in a pouch on my bino harness. I also have a bungee cord to it. You can use the curly shoelaces from Walmart for the tether.

 

All of my camouflage shirts have a shirt pockets that my RF sits in while I'm hunting. I use the neck lanyard as usual and tuck the little guy in my shirt pocket. Works great for me. I hunt out west from the ground and dont do the stand thing. YMMV.

 

I just use the short tether that came with it - then attach it to my KUIU bino harness per Dudley's recommendation - all good and no issues with dirt getting on the lenses.

 

Here is the hardest part to find for the range snap.

Great. Thanks.

I use a piece of D-Loop material tied between the buckle on my bino harness and the range finder. All you have to do is set the length so the range finder can reach its pouch and your eye. Everything is nice and compact.

 

i have to date not used a teacher or lanyard etc. But, after recently loosing a less than year old Vortex in the woods. I will defiantly use something now!!!

 

I have a neck tether but keep the rangefinder in the large left front pocket of my jacket when not in use.

 

This range finder pouch from outdoor vision was really slick.
They also sell the tether separately
