Sports reviews of Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout Laser RangefinderCustomer Review: You need this for your golf game! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
You need to know how far your target is, plain and simple.
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout Laser does just that in a compact, water resistant, lightweight package. This has a matte dark green rubberized finish which is weather resistant.
The Yardage Pro Scout comes with a compact nylon case that can clip to the belt or clip from the bag. There is a lanyard to hang it off of your neck (I wouldn't advise it for golf but useful for hunting). A cleaning cloth for the lens is included.
Operation is simple. Push the top button quickly for measuring distances or hold it down to 'scan' the field. The front button toggles between yards and meters - and it toggles between standard and >150 yard measurements to avoid closer objects. The unit stays on for 6 seconds and acquisition of distances is relatively quick. Obviously, use is limited by the steadiness of your hand with farther, smaller objects.
With 6X magnification, you get more than enough range for common targets. If you're looking for an economical way to improve your game or speed up play by spending less time in the hazards, then this is for you.
Its advantage over a GPS is that you can use it off of the course and you can even measure distances at the driving range instantly. If you want to browse the some of the GPS systems, here they are:

However, with rangefinders there are no monthly fees to pay (such as in a Golf GPS) and accurate to 1 yard. You can look to other models but this one really does the job!

This unit has the best combination of features, price, ease of use and reputation of a leader in laser rangefinder technology. Highly recommend.
Description of Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout Laser RangefinderRefurb Bushnell Scout 200001 Hunting Laser Rangefinder. 1 Year Warranty mint condition. Includes instructions and case. Weighing in at a mere 6.8 oz. the Yardage Pro Scout is the smallest, most compact laser rangefinder of its kind. Advanced laser technology delivers superb range performance to targets up to 700 yards away. A short, 10-yard minimum distance makes it the ideal tool for bow hunters. Features adjustable 6x magnification, accuracy to +/- 1 yard, scan, rain and Zip modes and built-in reflector. Powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (not included). The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout compact laser rangefinder can display the distance of a larger object up to 700 yds. The monocular design provides continuous distance measurement as multiple targets in the field of view are scanned. Battery included. Color: Hunter Green. Hunting and golfing will never be the same with the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout. Its 10- to 700-yard range with 1-yard accuracy (plus or minus, without reflectors or special devices) makes it perfect for golfing, bow hunting, and archery. The pocket-sized Pro Scout is water resistant and comes with a standard 3-volt battery. 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. Through-the-lens LCD Display Bushnell Yardage Pro rangefinders are fast and easy to use because everything you need to know is displayed on our built-in, through-the-lens LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Here's how it works: | A. Targeting Modes Scan The Scan mode allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. Rain This feature compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow. Zip Zip allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 150 yards) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches. Reflector This feature increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects. | B. Meters/Yards You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button. C. Reticle The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button. D. Battery Indictor Flashes when battery power is low. E. Target Quality Gauge Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target. |
