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.
Through-the-lens LCD Display
Bushnell Yardage Pro rangefinders are fast and easy to use because everything you need to know is displayed on our built-in, through-the-lens LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Here's how it works:
 | A. Targeting Modes Scan The Scan mode allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. Rain This feature compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow. Zip Zip allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 150 yards) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches. Reflector This feature increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects. | B. Meters/Yards You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button. C. Reticle The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button. D. Battery Indictor Flashes when battery power is low. E. Target Quality Gauge Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target. |

Awesome Tool,
By Mark Owens (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour XL Laser Rangefinder (Electronics)
I am a low handicapper and rely on accurate yardages to pins, bunkers, and layup areas. This rangefinder is an outstanding tool for golf. When properly used, it can easily take the place of GPS systems found on carts at many golf courses. I can easily sight in a pin/flag inside 220 yards within 1-2 seconds. I have sighted in a flag from 258 yards while leaning against my bag for steadiness in about 4-5 seconds. Bunkers, trees, or hills can be sighted in immediately from further away than Tiger or John Daly can hit. If yardages are important to you, this is a very helpful product.

Range Finder Designed for Golf,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour XL Laser Rangefinder (Electronics)
My golf partner had this particular model and I became dependant on playing with him. When we were not playing together, I could estimate fairly close to the distance, but sometimes frustrating when I was off. Many range finders that are on the market were not designed for golf, but for hunting. It was too difficult for many of them to determine distance using the flag stick. Before I purchased this range finder, I did some research to find the best device for the least cost, and one that was designed specifically for golf. I first purchased a less expensive model, however even on par 3s, it had trouble ranging on the flag. Not a problem with this model. It is outstanding! Many golf shops sell this model for $400+tax. Stop by a few of your local golf shops, ask for this model number, and check out their price, then go back on line and order one for $125 less. If you want a range finder that was designed specifically for golf, you will not be disappointed. It's a great deal, and worth the investment.

Best for those who hit with consistency,
By Chuck (Fremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour XL Laser Rangefinder (Electronics)
I've had my Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour XL for 2 months/12 rounds and it works as advertised. I really like it. On par 3's my playing partners wait for my yardage call. I usually sight in on the flag but slopes, bunkers, and trees work well also. The flag becomes quite small sighting from around 200 yds, and I usually find sitting down helps me steady the rangefinder better when sighting the flag at longer distances (sighting bunkers are no problem). This is a great device for driving ranges, and it is now much easier to play courses I've never played with better scores because my approach shots are stopping closer to the hole. Now I usually don't bother consulting course posted yardages and this speeds up play. A golfer who hits most shots solidly would probably benefit most from this device (my hdcp index is 3-5). Also, this model uses a common 9 volt battery which costs about $1. After numerous trips to the driving range,I have not changed batteries yet. So far, it is rugged enough to be unaffected by all the jostling it gets. Long term durability is unknown. Currently you can't use this device in tournaments because it is illegal under USGA rules. We hope in the future that the USGA will listen to common sense and allow range finders because yardages on golf courses have become common knowledge. Most amateur tournaments give front/back to green and pin yardages and pro caddies always use exact measurements to bunkers, pins, and greens. With this device you will always swing knowing the exact yardage.
