Customer Review: Definitely NOT FOR GOLF
This was on Dick's golf website. It's fine for large objects, but even at 50 feet it is extremely difficult to get a reading on a pin or flag. Too bad we didn't read the reviews first. And as it was a Christmas gift in a northern climate, we didn't have a chance to test it until we went to Florida in late January when we immediately realized it would not work for golf. By then it was beyond Dick's 30-day return period and, even though we explained the delay in our using it, they would not take it back for an exchange on another brand or model.
Customer Review: Good at what it's made to do.....
I don't understand people talking bad about this rangefinder who are using it for golf. Do you use a fork to eat soup? The difference between a hunting rangefinder and golfing rangefinder is a hunting is made to look for the farthest object instead of shrubs, trees, thicket that may be in the way of your target. (You are usually hunting in the woods and don't need the range for the closest tree) Golfing rangefinders are programmed to find the distance of the closest object since objects shouldn't be obtructing your view of the tee. This is a very simple to use rangefinder and great for hunting game. ************** Only buttons are power/scan button and mode button. Hold mode while finder is on to change between yards or meters. Press the power button to turn on. Acquire your target and press again for reading or hold it to scan objects in the distance. Unit powers down in 8 seconds if no action is taken. *Pros Simple Accurate WORKS *Cons Eye relief could be larger for those who wear glasses (if you don't...not a problem) Conclusion: Great rangefinder at a great price (comes with nice belt carry bag too!) If you are looking for a golf rangefinder....look elsewhere because this is NOT one.
