GREAT FOR HUNTING

| Very lightweight and compact. Also very fast to use. No battery's to go dead and no waiting for warmup. They have this advertised as a "laser" range finder but it is not. It uses the old tryed and true "line" method, such as is seen in very high quality rifle scopes. I have found it to be very accurate out to 200 yds. You place the base line at the hooves of the animal and read the line that is at the top of the animals body..that gives the range. Slight adjustments must be made for differant animals, deer are shorter than elk. But one trip to the rifle range will make this very easy to do. I have found it to be much quicker to use than a laser type and it is not affected by rain and snow. Also I don't have to remove my gloves to use it. No battery's to worry about, it weighs almost nothing and fits in any pocket. If you want a range finder that really works well and is easy and fast to use this is the ticket. I bought 3 more for xmas gifts for my hunting partners. Can't recommend it high enough. |
Works as Advertised

| The range finder is simple to use and works exactly as described. The view is clear; enlarged just enough to find the pin in the viewer. It is compact and uncomplicated to use. The fold down rubber eye enclosure lets me use it with my glasses on. The carrying case keeps it clean. It came with tees, a green repair and a ball marker. Got the best price through Amazon. Very satisfied. I made several golf shots that I would not have made without it. |
outstanding product

I purchased this item for my father for christmas and he loves it!
He takes it everytime that he goes into the woods. And because it fits
right into his pocket, it's not a hassle to carry. It's been well liked as a gift and I would recommend it to anyone who spends time outdoors.
Especially the hunter!! Thanks.

It's winter. Haven't had a chance to actually try it out, but seems as though it will work well enough.
Too many items listed though, making it confusing to compare differences and the item received was not as it was presented, but rather, like another item listed. |
Only good with flagsticks!

The design of this product is based around measuring the distance to a flagstick, so you won't be able to use this product to measure distances to any random object. It also will not measure distances less than 50 yards.
My unit did not come with any instructions, so here they are:
Instructions: Within the golf scope is an etched rangefinder reticle. Once you have the base of the flag lined up to the bottom line of the reticle, simply determine distance to the flag by reading the numbers on the reticle that align with the top of the flagstick. |
Not so good for golf

| I am 50 and have trouble keeping it stable. The combination of large magnification, small weight and tiny dimensions make it hard to hold in a steady position that allows accurate readings. |
range finder

| product not as accurate as I expcted...takes time to locate target and then have to do a fair amount of estimating of the distance...for the money still better than totally gussesing the distance |
Waste of money and effort

| I really wanted to like this golf gadget. However, it is almost impossible to hold the rangefinder still enough to accurately see the distance readings. When I did make extensive effort to hold it motionless, the readings still were not accurate when compared to the distances noted on the course. |
A waste of Money

Don't waste your money. I thought at best this gadget might give me an estimated yardage and at worst would not give any reliable data. The result was the latter.
The range is based on the green flag pole being a standard height for all greens and courses. This does not appear to be the case. In order to get a reading you must be dead because it is so sensitive to movement.
The optics are clear and bright. I left it in a golf cart after a round and it was not turned in. I thought so little of it that I figured anyone who keeps it, deserves it. |
Not what I expected

| Said you could range within 20 yards. This is not true. Disappointed with product and see no use item so I am throwing it away. Waste of money!!! |
Piece of Crap

| This thing sucks. Never will I touch this device again in my life or else I will kill myself on the golf course and hit myself with a club. Its not a "rangefinder" but its actually a "deathfinder", the first time I used, I literally chucked it into the lake and never looked back!! |
