Neat Gadget But Not for Golf,
Originally picked this up to use on the golf course, but afterwards found out that even Bushnell says this is not the unit for golfers. It’s small, lightweight and accurate, but does not have a scan feature, meaning the distance measurement does not change as you move the sight from one object to the next. You must “shoot” the object, pick a another and shoot it. I have kept it as it will be great for dear season, but aim higher in the Bushnell line for use on the golf course.

|not for golf,
I decided I wanted a range finder when I played golf with my father-in-law. He had the Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 and it worked great. Just point, shoot, and the yardage to the hole was returned promptly every time.
I was really excited when I first got this range finder …until I got it on the golf course. It is much smaller than the YP1000, but the Sport model’s superiority ends there. When you are inside 150 yards, it can range on a flag fine. Any farther than this and it becomes more trouble to use than it’s worth. You have to hold it very steady and it takes several seconds for the range to register (if it is going to register at all).
This range finder may work fine for hunting, but if you are going to use it for golf then spend the extra money and get a better model. I am currently looking at the Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour XL 20-2025, but I haven’t tried it out yet.

|Great for anchoring your sailboat,
Basically, it works great! We use our rangefinder to judge the distance from our boat to the shore, other boats, and anything else around us. Typical distances are 20 to 200 yards. We bought the cheapest rangefinder we could find because we didn’t need accuracy, didn’t need long distance, and weren’t sure it would be useful to us. Turns out we use it all the time and recommend it to all our sailing friends. We would buy the same unit again, but there are three things about it I would change. First, the unit is about 1/2″ too long for the case that came with it — it fits, but the case doesn’t close all the way. Very annoying! Second, sailors tend to measure in feet or meters and this unit measures in yards. It’s easy enough to multiply by three, but at the end of a long day when you are trying to figure the dinstances between a rocky point, a mooring bouy, and two other boats, it would be nice to avoid the math… Third, I would add a backlight to the display for use at twighlight and at night — the unit makes the measurements, you just can’t see the crosshairs to aim and can’t read the distance until you look at a light.
