Don't see why not. The problem might be seeing your ranging target!

They do, but you can't see what you're measuring unless the rabbit is carrying a torch of course!

austringer, one way to use your range finder at night, if you can see what your ranging that is,
is to put a small low power led in front of the range viewing window,
you can tape the led, wires, battery to your range finder .
It`s not pretty it will work.
Cheers,
Steve.
