Perfectly acceptable range-finder for the money,
For what this item is and for what it does, it’s just fine. I use it when working as a Stereographer to determine the distances of fairly close objects that are just a bit too distant to tape measure.
One thing, though: The word “clam” in the description does NOT refer to the unit’s color. The unit is NOT green like the one depicted in the illustration. It is a black unit. The word “clam” in the item description refers to the annoying clear plastic “clam-shell” packaging the rangefinder is contained within.
BTW, do not buy the extra case. You get a free case with the unit.
The strap that comes with the rangefinder is useless. There are no directions on how to attach it and there is no obviously logical way to determine how to do so. Fortunately, I had a different strap from a recent convention badge that worked beautifully.

|Great for Golf,
I used a friend’s today on the golf course and it worked well. Contrary to one other review on this site, it works fine from 200 yards. Easy to use and much better than many others I have tried on the golf course. I was sold the first time I used it. It is very accurate as well. Great product for a reasonable price. The size and weight are just right for the golf course.

|Probably depends upon what you want to use it for,
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 seems to be well made and not too heavy, nor too light. For my own purposes, it will work just fine. I will be using it to measure straight line distances across a series of “sinkholes” in Citrus County, FL. For the purposes of the study, I need to known the widths of these geologic features. It is unreasonable to drag a long tape across one of these often deep depressions … the tape “sag” would be too great … and it would also require me to trample a lot of native vegetation, of which many plants are quite rare or endangered. What will be done is to sight from the edge of the sinkhole to a tree on the other side. Accuracy in not that important … so, distance with an accuracy of 1-2 yards is just fine. I will do a calibration before going out: tamping off a number of posts, poles trees, etc. on my street where I have a clear view … and noting how much the device gives a reading that varies from the true taped distance. This rangefinder is probably just fine for hunters … however, golfers would probably do best to just play golf and learn how to estimate distances … there is no way that most folks could hold any rangefinder steady enough on a flag/pin to get the acurracy they need. Besides, it is not sporting … unless you just want to learn how to use your various clubs and assess the force of your swing that you might need. PS … I paid $115 for mine, including shipping .. so, look around. it was sold by a vendor associated with Amazon … I love Amazon!
