Master traditional distance measuring with the Trailblazer 19th Century Range Finder, a reproduction of the tool once used before modern optics. Made from solid brass, this compact device estimates distances based on a 6-foot target, with markings from 50 to 800 yards. The pre-cut twine string ensures consistent and accurate use right out of the box. At just 3” x 1 1/4”, it’s small enough to carry easily in your pocket or pack. To operate, place the knotted string at your lips or between your teeth, pull it tight, and slide the finder until the target fits the viewing window. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, collector, or outdoor explorer, this tool brings practical functionality to your gear.

19th Century Range Finder, still putting in The Work

"This is a great analog range finder. I prefer this over most battery powered range finders. Is it as accurate? No, But what do you do when your batteries are dead? You can guess or SWAG it. (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess). This device allows your "SWAG" to be much more accurate. Similar in design to The RANGE-R Card (https://www.blackhillsdesigns.***/product/range-r-card/). This one is made of brass and not a polymer material. THIS one is going to last and take abuse. You can make all of the same measurement guesses as with that card."

Low tech wonder.

"It is just plain fun to fool around with this range finder."

— J.A. F. (5/5)

Great Little Item

"Bought as a stocking stuffer for my Grandson. He does a lot of shooting and I'm sure he will get a kick out it."

— Karl K. (5/5)

Nice gadget

"I like the historical application. A good companion to my 1873 Colt SAA. No batteries to run out. Simplicity exemplified. Right on with my electronic rangefinder. I believe I'll buy a couple more to give to friends and family."

— Otto P. (5/5)

Neat and simple

"I've had experience with estimation range finders in the past and have always liked the simplicity. The video puts the target height at 6 feet (2 meters) but, with simple math, one can target objects with a height, length or width of eight, nine or twelve feet. Handy for hunters, hikers, or boatmen."

— Kenneth H. (5/5)

fun gadget for pranks

"I plan on using this at a post-apocalyptic event, not only as a cool low-tech tool that needs no batteries, but for messing with people...some of my friends are in other groups and it'll be funny to pretend I'm "ranging" their camp, or for sending folks back with fool's errands items ("go get a sight line")."

— Steve O. (5/5)
