A range finder for hunting applications. In one embodiment, a range finder includes a cylindrical main housing, a range finder circuit, a display housing, a display and one or more brackets. The range finder circuit is contained in the main housing. The display housing is couple to a first side of the main housing. The display is received in the display housing and is in electrical communication with the range finding circuit. The one or brackets are selectively coupled to a second side of the main housing, wherein the second side of the main housing is opposite the first side of the main housing. In addition, the one or more brackets are adapted to couple the main housing to a portion of a hunting weapon.

A firearm incorporating a manually operable trigger safety for preventing accidental discharge of the firearm, said firearm comprising: a frame having a trigger guard defined by an upper wall, a lower wall, a rear wall and a forward wall; a trigger pivotally mounted to said frame, said trigger having a hole passing therethrough; and a trigger bar disposed in the hole in said trigger, said trigger bar being transversely slideable in the hole between a fire position wherein said trigger is pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may be discharged and a safe position wherein said trigger bar and the upper wall of the trigger guard interfere with one another such that said trigger is not pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may not be discharged. 10. The firearm of claim 9 wherein transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented by contact of the trigger bar with said frame as the trigger bar is pushed in either transverse direction. 11. The firearm of claim 9 wherein said frame comprises a main frame member and a plate attached to a side of said main frame member, said plate overlying at least a portion of said trigger bar such that transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented as the trigger bar is pushed toward and contacts said plate. 12. The firearm of claim 11 wherein said trigger bar is in the fire position when said trigger bar is proximate to said plate. 13. The firearm of claim 9 wherein said trigger bar comprises a first portion having a first cross-sectional dimension, a second portion having a second cross-sectional dimension smaller than the first cross-sectional dimension and a side wall connecting said first portion and said second portion, and wherein transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented as the trigger bar is pushed in a direction from said first portion toward said second portion by contact of said side wall with said frame. 14. The firearm of claim 13 wherein the second portion of said trigger bar overlies and interferes with the upper wall of the trigger guard of said frame upon attempts to pivot said trigger with respect to said frame when said side wall of said trigger bar is proximate to said frame whereby said trigger bar is in the safe position. 15. The firearm of claim 9 wherein said trigger further comprises a spring in contact with and biased toward said trigger bar such that transverse movement of said trigger bar in the hole in said trigger is resisted by frictional engagement of said spring and said trigger bar. 16. The firearm of claim 15 wherein said trigger bar includes a notch therein in a location where said spring contacts said trigger bar when said trigger bar is in the fire position to further resist transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the fire position. 17. A firearm incorporating a manually operable trigger safety for preventing accidental discharge of the firearm, said firearm comprising: a frame having a trigger guard defined by an upper wall, a lower wall, a rear wall and a forward wall; a trigger pivotally mounted to said frame, said trigger having a hole passing therethrough; a trigger bar disposed in the hole in said trigger, said trigger bar being transversely slideable in the hole between a fire position wherein said trigger is pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may be discharged and a safe position wherein said trigger bar and the upper wall of the trigger guard interfere with one another such that said trigger is not pivotable with respect to said frame and the firearm may not be discharged; and wherein transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented by contact of the trigger bar with said frame as the trigger bar is pushed in either transverse direction. 18. The firearm of claim 17 wherein said frame comprises a main frame member and a plate attached to a side of said main frame member, said plate overlying at least a portion of said trigger bar such that transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented as the trigger bar is pushed toward and contacts said plate. 19. The firearm of claim 18 wherein said trigger bar is in the fire position when said trigger bar is proximate to said plate. 20. The firearm of claim 17 wherein said trigger bar comprises a first portion having a first cross-sectional dimension, a second portion having a second cross-sectional dimension smaller than the first cross-sectional dimension and a side wall connecting said first portion and said second portion, and wherein transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the hole in said trigger is prevented as the trigger bar is pushed in a direction from said first portion toward said second portion by contact of said side wall with said frame. 21. The firearm of claim 20 wherein the second portion of said trigger bar overlies and interferes with the upper wall of the trigger guard of said frame upon attempts to pivot said trigger with respect to said frame when said side wall of said trigger bar is proximate to said frame whereby said trigger bar is in the safe position. 22. The firearm of claim 17 wherein said trigger further comprises a spring in contact with and biased toward said trigger bar such that transverse movement of said trigger bar in the hole in said trigger is resisted by frictional engagement of said spring and said trigger bar. 23. The firearm of claim 22 wherein said trigger bar includes a notch therein in a location where said spring contacts said trigger bar when said trigger bar is in the fire position to further resist transverse movement of said trigger bar out of the fire position. ., 172/273; US-3828449, 19740800, Miceli, 037/041; US-3844425, 19741000, Bailey, 214/131.A; US-3845577, 19741100, Naymik, 037/042.VL; US-3851894, 19741200, St. Pierre, 284/460.R; US-3876092, 19750400, Macdonald, 214/145; US-3952431, 19760400, Gledhill et al., 037/041; US-3987562, 19761000, Deen et al., 037/042.R; US-4065009, 19771200, Old, 214/131.A; US-4074448, 19780200, Niemela, 037/041; US-4127951, 19781200, Hatch, 037/044; US-4178011, 19791200, Kirsch, 280/477; US-4187624, 19800200, Blau, 037/042.R; US-4215496, 19800800, Wehr, 037/117.5; US-4217075, 19800800, Frank, 414/686; US-4236329, 19801200, Hetrick, 037/042.R; US-4238895, 19801200, Hetrick, 037/041; US-4275984, 19810600, Lenertz, 414/686; US-4279084, 19810700, Low et al., 037/042.R; US-4304056, 19811200, Watson et al., 037/041; US-4304057, 19811200, Watson et al., 037/042.R; US-4304305, 19811200, Bartel, 172/274; US-4307523, 19811200, Reissinger et al., 037/042.VL; US-4318662, 19820300, Erickson et al., 415/686; US-4342163, 19820800, Hoekstra, 037/231; US-4347031, 19820800, Friesen et al., 415/686; US-4355945, 19821000, Pilch, 414/686; US-4439939, 19840400, Blau, 037/231; US-4528762, 19850700, Sarka et al., 037/234; US-4554978, 19851100, Schneider, 172/247; US-4619060, 19861000, Knowlton, 037/231; US-4637772, 19870100, Stumpe, 415/686; US-4658519, 19870400, Quenzi, 037/023; US-4717166, 19880100, Vachon, 280/481; US-4747612, 19880500, Kuhn, 280/460; US-4778195, 19881000, Vachon, 280/477; US-4817728, 19890400, Schmid et al., 172/273; US-4821435, 19890400, Pester, 037/231; US-4919212, 19900400, McClure, 172/274; US-4962598, 19901000, Woolhiser et al., 037/231; US-4962599, 19901000, Harris, 037/266; US-4976053, 19901200, Caley, 037/231; US-4991323, 19910200, Benkler, 037/235; US-4993677, 19910200, Patterson, 248/351; US-4999935, 19910300, Simi et al., 037/236; US-5027536, 19910700, Farrell, 037/236; US-5036608, 19910800, Ciula, 037/236; US-5050321, 19910900, Evans, 037/232; US-5075988, 19911200, Ciula, 037/231; US-5081775, 19920100,
