| Your Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of digital technology that allows range readings from 5 to 1,500 yards. Measuring 1.7 by 5.1 by 3.7 inches, the 10-ounce Pinseeker 1500 delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The Pinseeker 1500 features Selective Targeting Modes, superb optical quality, 100% waterproof construction, and Bushnell's RainGuard coating. The Pinseeker 1500 emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses. Its Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back. The ranging accuracy of the Pinseeker 1500 is plus or minus one yard under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 1,000 yards, while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1,500 yards. The Pinseeker 1500 features a powerful 7x magnification monocular for viewing your target. Optics are fully multi-coated, allowing maximum light transmission for optimum brightness, superb resolution, and contrast for a clear vivid image even in low-light conditions such as dusk or dawn. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and, when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards and meters, and Mode indicators. Laser Rangefinder Features Standard with Automatic Scan (A)
Scan across the course while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distance between you and your target. Meters/Yards (B)
You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button. Reticle (C)
The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button. Battery Indicator (D)
Flashes when battery power is low. Target Quality Gauge (E)
Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target. Pinseeker 1500 Targeting Modes BullsEye
Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display. . Brush
Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only. . PinSeeker
Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, this 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 display. . Slope+/-
Measures slope, +/- one degree of angle, and compensated range, based upon ball trajectory and type of club used. All shown on LCD display. . Laser Rangefinder Tech Talk A laser rangefinder is a distance-measuring instrument that uses laser technology to calculate the distance to targeted objects. Accuracy is +/- 1 yard, and the distance is displayed instantaneously on a built-in, through-the-lens Liquid Crystal Display. 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. |

 Pinseeker 1500-Awesome-Worth the extra money! |
| Review Date: February 19, 2006 |
| Reviewer: golf hacker, |
Surprised my husband with the Pinseeker 1500 for Christmas, we "BOTH" love it!! It is soooo "user friendly" and best of all "visually" user friendly! GREAT for the visually impaired over age "40" group who depend on the "Walgreen's" reading glasses! No need for glasses or lenghty instruction books-just aim at the flag and click the button-shows two distances. The actual distance and the distance it should play because of the slope!! Having the SLOPE FINDER is the most important aspect-this is what gives you the ACCURATE yardage. The "slope" differance" is what normally what makes the difference of which club to use.Many of the cheaper models do not allow for the slope-so what good is that, there's plenty yard markers on a course? It was fun to see what the course yardage markers read and then what the scope finder tells you. Makes your club selection so much more accurate! It's price is on the higher side, but for the quality, it's WELL worth it. My husband had tried a friends cheaper version, he actually could not use it because it was so hard visually to read. Before you buy one, be sure to check that out! Word of warning, your golfing partners will love to be in your golf group, asking you the yardage on "their" shots too!!
As another viewer mentioned-it's the best club in the bag, we HIGHLY reccomend it!!! Now....if it could only make the ball actually go to that exact spot, we'd all be happy golfers!!! |

I love my rangefinder! I've had it since Oct.2006 and forgot it at home only once.
I've trusted my Pinseeker over tee box yardage markers, a myriad of GPS in-cart units, sprinker heads and the usual variety of yardage to the center of the green course markers 200, 150, 100. I believe what it tells me and it has been highly accurate. I'm reluctant to share the yardage info with my fellow players unless asked, to avoid chatty debates and responsibility for their errant shots.(you'd be surprised...)
A few things to be aware are, the flags must be clearly visable of distant out of focus shrub branches that can interfere with the laser sensor, low light overcast conditions can be difficult to accurately measure distance and lastly, if you've heavily consumed too much COFFEE or too many martinis the night before, shakiness will prevail. You may want to add a tripod to your bag. % ) |
Bushnel Pinseeker 1500 Rangefinder w/

| Review Date: January 10, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Rickshaw, Ohio |
I bought this rangefinder to take to Myrtle Beach for a golf outing. Since we play a different course every day, I hoped it would give me true yardages on a course I hadn't played before. It out performed my expectations. Every golfer knows that the yardages on the course are to the center of the green. But some greens are 1 to 2 club lengths more. This rangefinder gave perfect yardages for me.
This rangefinder has three modes of operation. You can use it for hunting with the first mode, which just gives you yardage to any target you aim at. The second mode is the pin seeker mode for golf. You aim at the flag and press the button and it gives you the yardage to the flag. The third mode is the pin seeker w/slope mode for golf. You also aim at the flag and it gives you the distance to the pin plus or minus the slope to the green(this mode is illegal for USGA tournaments).
It was very helpful off the tee. You could aim it at a fairway bunker or hazard from the tee and you could get a yardage that would let you know whether you could carry it.
I found it very easy to operate and a great product.

This is my third Bushnell in 5 years (lost one, the other was no good over 150 yds).This is one great piece of equipment. Everyone that uses it just smiles. The Vertical yardage is great, but its like have a tach in your car, after a couple of weeks you know how much to add for elevation. Leaves its predecessors/competition in the dust. You should buy this for two reasons:
1) It is UNCANNY how fast it finds the flag, just have to get it close.
2) It finds an object at 350 yards as easy as it does at 100. It just finds flags faster.
This is probably the only piece of equipment in my bag that I did not pay to much for.

Bushnell 1500 is a great rangefinder alternative
|
| Review Date: September 6, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Midwest Golfer, Minneapolis, MN USA |
| I considered various alternatives of rangefinders and am thrilled that I chose both this type and this model. It is easy to use, has great features and is very accurate. I primarily use just the distance feature, but for non-competitive rounds the effective distance feature taking into consideration upward or downward slope is very cool. I also like the carrying case which can be attached to a bag or pull cart and provides easy accessibility to the rangefinder. I just returned from a trip to Ireland where many of the courses have few if any distance markers. It was indespensible. |
Pinseeker great, slope calculator not so much
|
| Review Date: May 12, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Art Jorgensen, Colorado Springs, CO United States |
| This Bushnell 1500 Rangefinder with Slope was a birthday replacement for an older model I've had for years. The pinseeker mode was a wonderfully pleasant surprise. With my old model, sometimes I'd try to shoot a flag from about 200 yards out and, if it was hanging limp, I might "shoot" it 10 or 15 times and not get it. But with this new rangefinder it's not a problem because I just have to point in the direction of the flag and keep moving it around a little bit until it nails the flag, then promptly displays the shorter of the yardages it obtained. Now I can shoot from any distance and get the exact yardage within 3 seconds at most. I promise you this feature alone makes it worth any extra money over buying a rangefinder that can't make these "continuous" readings. But I now wish my wife hadn't spent the extra money to get the slope feature. It works sure enough, but I find it of little or no value. I'm a golfer, after all, and I know pretty well how much club to add on or take off for most slopes better than a robot calculation based strictly on the angle of the slope. For example, it doesn't calculate wind or lack thereof, and that's just as important as slope to a successful golf shot. Great product! |
"Dead-On" Distance
|
| Review Date: August 25, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Bill, Dallas, TX United States |
I've tested the Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Laser Rangefinder w/Slope on several courses and find the yardage detection to be "Dead-On". It's very light and easy to use. The 7x magnification makes it so easy to zero in on the target (pin, front & back of bunkers, front of green, far side of hazard, etc.). I always take 2 or 3 readings, to make sure of the distance. The slope is nice as it calculates the actual yardage, the degree of elevation and most helpful, the effective yardage. Now, all I have to think about is hitting the target!

| Reviewer: John C. Hitt, Orlando, FL USA |
| The Pinseeker 1500 is a true golfer's edge. Easy and quick to use, it gives golfers the distance measurements they need from wherever they happen to be on the course. The correction for elevation can make a big difference , especially on unfamiliar courses. The ability to measure distances to bunkers and hazzards is a real aid to effective course-management. It's a gadget you'll wonder how you ever did without. |

| I read alot of reviews and did a lot of research on all the different types of range finders out there.This one got the best reviews by far so i bought it.It is very simple to use just point and push the button it is really that simple. My friends who are all very good golfers 5 handicap and under say it very acurate.Now that I have something to help me find the correct yardage. I am on the search for clubs that will help me hit the ball the correct yardage any suggestions? BUY IT YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED |
A Helpful Addition to My Game

| Review Date: September 13, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Richard E. Chodroff, |
| Very accurate and easy to use. I was amazed at how little elevation actually changes distance but those yards do make a difference in club selection. I also noticed that play is sped up since no time is lost seaching for course yardage markers and walking off distances. |
More than pleased...

| Reviewer: Darrell A. Thompson, Lancaster, SC USA |
| I purchased the Pinseeker 1500 w/slope after making a trip to Hawaii and playing golf with a friend who had one. It has given me very accurate distances to the hole from my position on the fairway (and woods too). I have played golf now for over 40 years and this is probably the single most important investment I have made. The Pinseeker did not have everything to do with my first hole in one, but it gave me the proper distance to the hole from the tee and I used my five iron to hit the ball 172 yards for my first ace. The ease of use and valuable information it gives makes it a "no brainer" for the serious golfer. It has also allowed me to get yardages much quicker therefore speeding up my rounds. I highly recommend the Bushness Pinseeker 1500 w/slope! |
Can't deside, Sky Caddie/Rangefinder? Pick Rangefinder.
|
| Review Date: March 11, 2008 |
| Reviewer: M. Vaughn, Tyler TX USA |
| I first tried SkyCaddie, and liked it until slow lock on, short battery life and bad readings started happening more and more often. The laser rangefinder is accurate to within a yard, the battery last a year (its only on for a few seconds per hole and turns itself off. The one advantage SkyCaddie has is yardage to hazards, the end of fairways etc. but is easily worked around with the laser rangefinder, just shot the object (it can distance anything, not just the pin). |

This is an incredibly accurate range finder. It amazed me to see how far off some of my clubs yardage markers were. This is very easy to use, is very accurate and a blast to play with. The amazon price is easily 450 cheaper than anywhere else I could find.

With the Bushnell 1500 pinseeker without slope, you'll become the distance guru.
|
| Review Date: May 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: A. Agoncillo, Seattle WA USA |
Pros. USGA legal, precise, accurate and reliable, at times better than digital/gps units since flagstick placements vary. Battery life lasts several rounds, reliable even with suboptimal temps (Seattle WA). Viewfinder and zoom range are clear. Excellent pouch container can be strapped to golf bag for easy accessibility.
Cons. Needs steady, calm hands particularly with farther distances. Bracing it to golf cart/bag helps. At times difficult centering eye onto viewfinder even with revolving eyepiece.
Overall, this gadget is user-friendly and is very accurate; should be part of every golfer's bag, amateur or pro. Don't buy this if you don't want your buddies to pester you with the question, "How far am I from the hole?" |

Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker/w slope
|
| Review Date: December 23, 2007 |
| Reviewer: SkiMark, NM USA |
| The product does everything it is represented to do. It has really helped in club selection and imrpove warmup and practice sessions. When on the driving range, you can check the distances shown by the course to see if they are correct...they never are! You could be thinking you are hitting a specific club 150 yards, but are actually short of the distance or even long if you area a big hitter. That also transfers out to the course. When they mow, or move the pin, the distances can change by many yards, this is where the Pinseeker excels. With the slope feature turned on, you will get the most accurate distance imaginable. A definite plus for any golfer who wants to improve his club selection, consistency, and overall game! |
Pinseeker 1500 is GREAT!

Golf Rangefinder in Thailand
|
| Review Date: December 26, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Mr. Mark A. Siegel, Thailand |
I purchased this golf rangefinder for my use in golfing in Thailand and it has amazed all of my friends and the golf caddies in Thailand. Most people stare at me and think I am using a camera, but when I show them how to use the raangel they all want to try and use it themselves.
Some of the yardage markers on the Thailand golf courses are off by as much as 10 yards, which is around 1 club difference. This can have a big effect, especially when hitting a 6 or 7 iron for example. I find this to equate to around 2-3 saved strokes a round, not bad for the $400 dollar investment!
The slope feature on the other hand is more of a gimmick and not really needed. If I had to purchase again I would go for the normal model, without the slope feature. It is less expensive and legal for use even in tournaments!

Great product. Looks solid. Easy to use. Quick to get yardage. Took less than 5secs to usually obtain a yardage even if you have shaky hands. Battery life is great. I've used this for 8 rounds already, and haven't replaced the battery.
Cons: A little expensive. |
