Bushnell who are one of the most recognisable binocular brands in the world were also pioneers in the development of laser rangefinders and as such produce some of the best available on the market, with versions for general use and hunting, including a riflescope that come with a built in range finder. But it is their excellent range of golf laser rangefinders and GPS rangefinders that really set them apart. Bushnell yardage pro golf pinseekers are endorsed by some of the best professional players in the world including Paul Azinger, Sergio Garcia and Hale Irwin, Bushnell produce three types of rangefinders specifically designed for golfers:
There are four current models within the Bushnell yardage pro golf laser rangefinders:
Bushnell Pro 1600 Pro RangefinderTheir top of the range Pro 1600 Slope Edition model is also the most used range finder by pro tour golfers.
Includes Pinseeker Technology, ensuring accurate target locking, Slope Technology that adjusts the distance depending on the degree of elevation to the target. 100% waterproof, it is accurate to within 1 yard and has a good 7x magnification and does not need the special reflective prisms on the pins to work.
Exactly the same as their top of the range model, but without the Slope Technology.
So the Pro 1600 Tournament Rangefinders still come with the Bushnell Pinseeker Technology and are completely waterproof with a 7x magnification.
Bushnell Tour V2 Slope RangefinderThe same as the Tour V2 Laser Rangefinder, but also includes patented Bushnell® Slope as well as PinSeeker Technology to give you more precise distances by adjusting the distance depending on the amount of elevation to the pin. The V2 Laser Rangefinders are rainproof, but not fully waterproof and come with a 5x magnification.
Bushnell Tour V2 Laser RangefinderComes with Bushnell Pinseeker Technology, 5x magnification and is rainproof.
This is described by Bushnell as the ultimate rangefinder for tournament play and avid players.
Bushnell Medalist RangefinderEven th most basic of all the Bushnell Laser Range Finders comes with Pinseeker technology. The sleek horizontal profile of the Medalist is simple to use and is sure to help your game.

Bushnell Pinseeker TechnologyThe Bushnell PinSeeker rangefinders make sure that you have locked onto the correct target. Accurate to within 1 yard, they work by isolating the target and removing the background hazards.
Most golf laser rangefinders can give incorrect readings because the target you are aiming at when you use it is in competition with the larger objects like that are behind it, that have a stronger signal strength with more reflectivity than the target, which is often the pin. When the Pinseeker rangefinder senses more than one object, it displays the closer of the two so you can be sure that the correct distance is calculated. All of their Laser finders come with Bushnell Pinseeker Technology.
Bushnell also produces a range of Golf GPS rangefinders. With a Golf GPS, you can determine the distance to the pin and other targets that are not in your line of sight, which is not possible with a laser rangefinder. and so can provide you with distances to the green that are difficult to get with lasers. On the negative side, you will have to download courses to use with the GPS version and so a yearly paid membership is required although you do not loose the maps that you have downloaded once your contract expires and can continue to use them. If you want to add new courses you will then have to renew your membership.
Their top of the range Yardage Pro XGC has a high resolution full-color screen to display accurate distance to any point on the hole that can stores up to 100 courses as well as keep score and statistics. Next in line is the Yardage Pro XG that includes many of the same features as the XGC, but comes with a black and white screen. Below that you get the Yardage Pro and Neo GPS rangefinders that will give you the distance to the front, center and back of the green.
PinPro™ is exclusive to Bushnell, it is a hand held digital golf range finder that has a red dot sighting system. To get the distance to a target, you hold it with it's comfortable pistol grip that allows you to quickly point and lock onto a non-reflective target on the golf course, like some trees for example or to a reflective prism located on the top of the pin. The PinPro then given a digital readout that displays your distance in yards or meters to what ever you have locked onto.
If you are looking for something cheaper the Bushnell 5x20 golf scope could be what you need, costing around $25 / £20, the internal distance reticle makes it easy to estimate the distance to the pin. To work out the distance, all you have to do is line up the base of the flag to the bottom line of the etched rangefinder reticle within the golf scope and then read the numbers on the reticle that match the top of the flag-stick.
