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.
Sports reviews of Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Slope Edition Laser Rangefinder with Slope Calculator
Customer Review: Better than anticipated
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this for my husband who is an avid golfer to replace an much older version. We were amazed at how well the 1500 picks up the flag and cuts out the background. He is not real steady, but that doesn't seem to matter. He is thrilled with this product and prefers it over the Sky Caddie.Customer Review: Great golf gift!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It does take a little getting use to having to hold still to get a fix on the object, but once you've used it a couple of times it's really easy.
The only problem is that now my husband is obsessive about determining yardage and has no excuse for under/over shooting his target :)
Customer Review: A Helpful Addition to My Game
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Very accurate and easy to use. I was amazed at how little elevation actually changes distance but those yards do make a difference in club selection. I also noticed that play is sped up since no time is lost seaching for course yardage markers and walking off distances.Customer Review: Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 rangefinder w/slope feedback
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Great product. Looks solid. Easy to use. Quick to get yardage. Took less than 5secs to usually obtain a yardage even if you have shaky hands. Battery life is great. I've used this for 8 rounds already, and haven't replaced the battery.
Cons: A little expensive.
Customer Review: Pinseeker right on target
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is an incredibly accurate range finder. It amazed me to see how far off some of my clubs yardage markers were. This is very easy to use, is very accurate and a blast to play with. The amazon price is easily 450 cheaper than anywhere else I could find.
