Bushnell Pinseeker

Bushnell Pinseeker
What is better the Sky caddie or the Golf buddy?

i don't know which to buy. It is between a sky caddie, golf buddy and a bushnell pinseeker (laser Range Finder)

GPS rangefinders are unreliable. I've been playing with two guys using the same SkyCaddie standing in the same spot with yardages 10 yards different. Not only that, there are yearly subscription fees and fees for unloading new courses. They are the gift that keeps on giving ... you bills.

You are better off getting any product from Bushnell. You can shoot exact yardages (not just front, middle, back) and they're always set to go wherever you are.

Bushnell Range Finders: From An Award Winning American Company

Bushnell Range finders are well known amongst the golfing and hunting set where accuracy and ease of use in the outdoors are prime considerations.

Bushnell Outdoor Products is an American company that has been around since late 1947, when David P. Bushnell founded it while spending time in allied occupied Japan. Originally, Bushnell outdoor products was more or less a mail order binocular company, but it has grown into a company with eleven brands and over fifteen product lines. These products include telescopes, night vision items, ski goggles, sunglasses, spotting scopes and much much more, that distributes in over 27 countries.

In the last decade the company has changed hands several times but still maintains it's high quality of outdoor optical equipment. So much so that awards of quality are no stranger to this all American conglomerate. Outdoor Life magazine bestowed the Editors choice award in 2007 for the Bushnell Elite 4200 rifle scope and another for the Browning Sports optics binoculars, which followed the one they were awarded for the Legend binoculars in 2006.

The first GPS systems to allow satellite imagery to be integrated into the display was created by Bushnell in 2006, as well as adding XM radio for real time weather information. Field and Stream Magazine awarded Bushnell the 'Best of the Best' award in 2007 for the Onix 400 GPS.

It's no wonder that with such a pedigree, Bushnell Range finders are considered to be at the forefront of their product range. Golfers and hunters know when they see something that works!

The Bushnell Yardage Pro is one such Range finder and it comes in a variety of editions. There is the Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation, there is the Yardage Pro sport 450 which is also available in two types of camouflage coverings, the Yardage Pro 800, the Yardage Pro Legend which is also waterproof, the Yardage Pro Scout, the Yardage Pro 1000, the Yardage Pro 1600 which is waterproof and fog proof and the Yardage Pro Elite which comes multi-coated, water proof and/or with a camouflage finish. So there are a number to choose from but the cream of the crop for a golfer is the Pinseeker.

This uses laser technology to bounce a beam from an object and then measure the time it takes to return. This timing is then translated into yards or meters as required. Of course the more reflective the target the more accurate the reading although the 'bounced' laser takes less than a second to travel back and forth. The Pinseeker measures ranges from 5 to 1500 yards and at the longest distance is reputedly within an accuracy of +/- one yard. It has a monocular with seven times magnification so you can accurately aim your range finder even in very low light conditions, say at dusk.

It weighs only 10 ounces and fits easily into your pocket and comes with a variety of modes that let you ignore brush or tree branches and take aim at the very base of the pin: at the cup itself! Oh yes, it also measures slope, by degrees of angle, while taking into consideration the golf balls trajectory and the type of club that is being used....yes really!

Waterproof, easy to use, small enough to carry and very accurate. Anyone I have talked to has said it has managed to improve their golf game considerably.

The Bushnell Yardage Pro Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation...worth looking into.

As a tournament-legal rangefinder, the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review of course will not get into questions of gradient. However, when comparing the other features, it still seems to come out in a distinct second place in most regards.

Despite this, the truth is in the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review, it has been found that this model is really extremely attractive, despite several limitations in terms of features.

Size Does Matter

Most reviews rarely get into a question of size, due to the fact that most rangefinders tend to be similar in this regard. As was discovered during the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review, it is the clear exception to that rule, and for this reason more than any other, it is very appealing for any golfer.

In a nutshell, this rangefinder is small, and light. Without a doubt, this gives it a convenience of usage that would be an asset to golfers everywhere. Weighing in at a mere 6.6 oz, it can be conveniently carried around and could never be considered cumbersome.

Despite its size, it is nothing less than advanced though, incorporating the much sought after Pinseeker targeting into its lithe build. When the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review was being carried out, this technology really was a treat and allowed simple and efficient targeting of the flag without accidentally latching onto other background targets.

For its size, it really does pack a punch that is comparable to some other, much larger, rangefinders.

Decent Range, Highly Accurate, and Good Magnification

Every other feature that was explored in the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review is up to par, if not outstanding. With a range of 1,000 yards, and 1 meter (give or take) accuracy, it is up to scratch but does not quite match the 1,500 yard range of some larger models.

Similarly, the 5x magnification is a little less than the 7x that is now available on other models, but the general consensus is that it is a feasible tradeoff, as with the Pinseeker technology, targeting the flag is still easier than many other models.

Rather than having a large, bulky rangefinder that must constantly be taken out and put back into a carrying bag while it is lugged around, the Bushnell Tour V2 Pinseeker review finds that things are definitely more convenient with this smaller version.

If any golfer wishes that sort of convenience, then this model of rangefinder is worth a look.
