Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Review
The rangefinder has really helped me with my course management. I have an excellent GPS program on my smartphone, but the rangefinder is helpful for hitting to specific targets. I also use it out on the driving range because the tee boxes at my range are constantly moved back and forth (grass range), so I need the rangefinder to help me figure out my distances.
I find that it is relatively easy to use if you have steady hands. It may take more than one try to get an accurate read, but it only takes a couple seconds to measure a target.

Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Overview
EVERY GOLFER WANTS SPIN, DISTANCE AND PINSEEKER. With its sleek horizontal profile the Medalist is about two things: Lower scores and PinSeeker technology. Quick and natural to the eye, the Medalist acquires flags tucked in the deepest corners of the green despite background clutter that befuddles lesser rangefinders. Wherever evil lurks anywhere on the course, the Medalist with PinSeeker provides you with the information you want, to make the shot you need.
Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Specifications
Compact in size but loaded with powerful rangefinding features, the Bushnell Medalist sets a new standard in a complete rangefinder package. Like its predecessor--the PinSeeker 1500--the Medalist is equipped with PinSeeker technology to combine pinpoint accuracy and consistency enabling you to range up to 250 yards (±1 yard) to the flag without the use of reflectors.
Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, Bushnell's Pinseeker 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 screen.
Powered by a 9-volt battery, the lightweight Medalist boasts a 4x magnification and features a rubber armoring, making it easy to grip. It also comes with a premium carrying case. Weighing just 9 ounces, the Medalist measures 1.7 x 4.5 x 3.8 inches in size and is ready to be used right out-of-the-box, allowing it to be played at 100 percent of the courses around the world. The Medalist is legal for tournament play and for posting of scores for handicap purposes. Other features include distance readings in both yards and meters and standard SCAN mode.

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.

oops! - zip -
PINSEEKER PART WORKS GREAT. WHEN NOT AVAILABLE ON A COURSE IT IS HARD TO GET AN ACCURATE DISTANCE TO PIN USING BASE OF PIN AS AIMING POINT OR PERSON ON GREEN
The product is very good - B. G. ZHAO -
I like this product very much. The design is compact and very easy to use. However, I don't like the way amazon did. I have paid full price to buy a new one, it seems they sent me the one someone used. The handle strip is broken, the body seems cleaned up. I wanted to return it to amazon, but I thought it might be sent to someone else if I return it. Eventually, I didn't return it.
