Description of Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Slope Edition Laser Rangefinder with Slope Calculator
The measure of success-distanceadjusted for elevation. Introducing the world's only golf laser rangefinder to compensate for changes in elevation. Using a digital inclinometer, the Pinseeker 1500 with slope+/- it tells you exactly how far to play it. So you will never again question the range at the top of your swing. And nothing cuts strokes like confidence.Your Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of digital technology that allows range readings from 5 to 1,500 yards. Measuring 1.7 by 5.1 by 3.7 inches, the 10-ounce Pinseeker 1500 delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The Pinseeker 1500 features Selective Targeting Modes, superb optical quality, 100% waterproof construction, and Bushnell's RainGuard coating.
The Pinseeker 1500 emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses. Its Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back.
The ranging accuracy of the Pinseeker 1500 is plus or minus one yard under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 1,000 yards, while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1,500 yards.
The Pinseeker 1500 features a powerful 7x magnification monocular for viewing your target. Optics are fully multi-coated, allowing maximum light transmission for optimum brightness, superb resolution, and contrast for a clear vivid image even in low-light conditions such as dusk or dawn. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and, when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards and meters, and Mode indicators.

Pinseeker 1500 Targeting Modes
 |
Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display.
.
 |
Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only.
.
 |
Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, this mode allows easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently capturing background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display.
.
 |
Measures slope, +/- one degree of angle, and compensated range, based upon ball trajectory and type of club used. All shown on LCD display.

Laser Rangefinder Tech Talk
A laser rangefinder is a distance-measuring instrument that uses laser technology to calculate the distance to targeted objects. Accuracy is +/- 1 yard, and the distance is displayed instantaneously on a built-in, through-the-lens Liquid Crystal Display.
How a Laser Rangefinder Works
Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance within +/- 1 yard and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD Display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed.
Reflectivity of Target Types
Because rangefinders "bounce" a laser beam off the target in order to take a measurement, their range is partially determined by the reflectivity of the target. In other words, hard or "reflective" targets -- like a rock cliff or semi-truck -- can be measured at greater distances than soft surface targets, like a deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to frequently estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By "pre-measuring" ranges to spots where a trophy is likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives.

Customer Review: WORTH THE MONEY
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I read alot of reviews and did a lot of research on all the different types of range finders out there.This one got the best reviews by far so i bought it.It is very simple to use just point and push the button it is really that simple. My friends who are all very good golfers 5 handicap and under say it very acurate.Now that I have something to help me find the correct yardage. I am on the search for clubs that will help me hit the ball the correct yardage any suggestions? BUY IT YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTEDCustomer Review: Can't deside, Sky Caddie/Rangefinder? Pick Rangefinder.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I first tried SkyCaddie, and liked it until slow lock on, short battery life and bad readings started happening more and more often. The laser rangefinder is accurate to within a yard, the battery last a year (its only on for a few seconds per hole and turns itself off. The one advantage SkyCaddie has is yardage to hazards, the end of fairways etc. but is easily worked around with the laser rangefinder, just shot the object (it can distance anything, not just the pin).Customer Review: Great for Golf Course Construction
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We use this product for quick estimates for irrigation and drainage as well as yardages in our golf course construction business. It is always accurate to within a meter/yard. Saves a lot of time versus walking off distances with a measuring wheel. The slope feature also gives us a quick idea on whether a drain line is falling or not. All of this helps a lot in reducing the need for our survey crew's time as well. Very happy with this product!Customer Review: Great!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great range finder. I've had a SkyCaddy and this has it beat hands down. Much better information with no annual fees or the hassle of downloading courses. SkyCaddy just gives you distance to front, middle, back of green. This gives you exact distance to the pin or anything else you you focus on. The slope reading gives you a "play as" adjustment which is helpful when you eyes can't tell. Best tool I've found for use on the course.Customer Review: Very pleased with initial usage
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with how easy it is to use the Pinseeker 1500. My friends have the Skycaddie and are pleased as well. It is great that there is no annual subscription with the Bushnell and that you don't have to download different courses. Having the exact yardage to the hole is great! I am looking forward to using it on my annual Northern Michigan golf trip since there are many elevation changes on courses in that area.
