Product Description |
| Weighing in at just 6.8 ounces, the Bushnell 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. It also features an adjustable 6x eyepiece, accuracy to ±1 yard, and built-in Rain, Zip, SCAN and reflector modes. It's powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (included). Targeting Modes - SCAN: Allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan.
- Rain: Compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow.
- Reflector: Increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects.
- Zip: Allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 150 yards) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches.

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. |

 Great for Golf |

| I do not hunt but purchased this for GOlf. I demod the "V2" golf version from Bushnell (exactly the same as this one) and this is IDENTICAL to the golf version for much less (100). Superb on teh course. I've used it a half a dozen time on difference courses and on the range and it is great. I had trouble once getting a dark blue flag from 250+ but have hit white flags from 250+. Dark colors are harder to hit for any laser finder. Bunkers from the tee, bunkers around the green, hills to clear, you name, you can hit it. Unfortunately I got mine for 200 off Amazon and I see they have went up to 250 recently. GREAT PRODUCT. |
Wow! This thing works great for golf!

I wanted a range finder for golf. I read the reviews for several different models. It appeared to me you don't need a model made specifically for golf - which generally costs significantly more than the the Bushnell Scout 1000. When we received the rangefinder, my son and I were anxious to try it out. We drove to a local golf course parking lot. The course has the flag sticks with the reflective mirrors. We used the target mode on a few holes we could see from the parking lot and very easily targeted in on flagsticks that were up to 500 yards away! We tried this from several different locations in the parking lot and all targeting was quick and easy and the distance were logical from the distance from the different spots from which we took our readings.
Today we golfed on a different course with GPS in the carts and the flagsticks again had the reflective mirrors. The Bushnell Scout 1000 found all the flags we shot at flawlessly and the yardage was always within a 1 or 2 yards of the GPS on the cart. I will admit that the reflective flag sticks are probably why we could zone in on the yardage so quickly and easily for the very distant flag sticks.
We did shoot lots of other objects (sand traps, other golfers, trees, other golfing landmarks on the course) and easily got readings in target mode. Many of the landmark distances are noted on the GPS in the cart and the Bushnell Scout 1000 was always within a yard or two from the cart GPS.
We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend to anyone wishing to use this for golf. I wouldn't worry that it's not marketed specifically for golf.
