Leupold’s GX-I is a line of sight rangefinder that complies with USGA rule 14-3, making it tournament legal on many courses. It has seven aiming reticles that allow each golfer to customize the point of aim to his or her playing style or eyesight, and an easily accessible scan mode that is always at your fingertips.
Each GX-I incorporates Leupold’s proprietary PinHunter™ laser aiming system, a combination of advanced hardware and software. Pinhunter uses a laser that is optimized to range golf features and a software package that maximizes the effectiveness of the laser under golf conditions.
Features:
- Magnification 6x, 7 Selectable Aiming Reticles, Quick Set Menu, Line of Sight Distance, Yards/Meters, and scan mode
- Maximum Range(reflective) – 750Yards/675Meters, Trees – 600Yards/550Meters, Pin – 350Yards/318Meters
- Battery Life – 1,000′s of actuations, 1 Year Warranty, Weatherproof
- Weight – 6.8oz, Dimensions (inches) – 4″x2.75″x1.5″
6X magnification (GX-1) vs. 5x with the V2. I think it’s just enough of a noticeable enhancement to be worthy of mentioning. I don’t see much of a difference in viewing a flag or small target, but there’s a big difference when shooting the front/back edges of a fairway bunker that give the GX-1 a big edge here with 17% more magnification. larry
I did research between multiple range finders and different 3rd party reviews and ratings. This was consistently one of the best according to the reviews and ratings. I love this range finder. My friend has a buschnell and that takes around 30 seconds to get the reading back. This product takes a second to get a reading back which helps out with pace of play. Can’t say enough about this product. This is the best range finder out there for its price. peter
A lazer range finder works on all courses which is why I chose it over a GPS locater. That said this unit is perfect. Crystal clear and accurate it’s lowered my strokes bigtime. Some may find it difficult to hold without shaking but propping it on the cart or even a club to gain the steady hand will quickly resolve that issue. It’s a rugged little unit which attaches perfectly to my bag and has taken all kinds of gentle abuse. bart
Before making my purchase, I researched the advantages of GPS Distance Finders and Laser Rangefinders, and determined that the Laser Rangefinder is the better buy. norton
I can’t say enought about this rangefinder, it is absolutely awesome. I researched several different models and settled on the GX-1 because it is tournament legal. malone
This is a very easy golf rangefinder to use and operate. It is conveniently small to be placed in any size golf bag and seems accurate to handle any club distances. james

Let it hinge on a guess, or nail it with this. The shot of a lifetime is a time for certainty. With the Yardage Pro Sport 450, you’re confident to the last yard. It’s affordable, simple to use and features a slim, weather-resistant design that’s handy in a pinch. Now, jerky or sausage?
Take your best shot with confidence with help from a Bushnell Yardage Pro laser rangefinder. Using advanced digital technology, Yardage Pro takes the guesswork out of measuring distances. It delivers superb range performance to targets from 5 to 1,500 yards away at the touch of a button and is accurate to within a yard even if you’re measuring in rain or snow or through foreground clutter like brush and branches. Measuring a mere 1.5 by 4 by 2.75 inches and weighing only 6.8 ounces, the Yardage Pro is the smallest, most advanced laser rangefinder available.
Thousands of hunters and golfers count on their Yardage Pro laser rangefinder to quickly and accurately size up their target and enhance their performance. In fact, over 600 touring golf pros, including 18 of the top 20 money winners on the PGA tour, use Yardage Pro to improve their game. So, whether you need to measure the distance to a whitetail deer or a bunker on the course, you can do it with confidence with Bushnell’s Yardage Pro.
Features:
- Compact design
- Weather resistant
- Textured grip
- 5-yard minimum distance
- One-button operation
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 at the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder’s high-speed digital clock measures the time it takes for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance to within a 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 the time the exact range to your target is displayed.
Because rangefinders bounce laser beams off targets in order to take measurements, their range is partially determined by the targets’ reflectivity. So, distances to reflective or “hard” targets like rock cliffs and semis can be measured from farther away than those to soft-surface targets such as deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By pre-measuring ranges to spots where trophies are likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives.

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. raich
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). customer
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. greg

I have used a skycaddie for two years. In fact, both only lasted about 6 months before they broke. In a panic, I bought a Bushnell V2 w/ Pinseeker the day before going to Pinehurst and played 4 rounds of golf with it, three of the courses I’ve never played before. It does everything Bushnell claims. Its very easy to use and the Pinseeker mode works perfectly. It never gave me an incorrect reading. One day I was with a Pinehurst member who had a laser designed to work specifically with a reflective element on top of all the Pinehurst flags. Every reading on every par 3 was exactly the same as his to the yard. If you have never used a Rangefinder or skycaddie, I’d recommend the Bushnell range finder. It does everything a skycaddie does AND you can laser anything on the course, not just the geographic references the skycaddie has in its course memory. I’m bitter about my skycaddies expenses, but this thing works better. When I get my skycaddie back, I’ll use it but won’t spend the money to renew the annual membership this fall. paul
I had a non-pinseeker model before and liked it. This one is much better at finding the pin/ flag. Previous model would have some problems distinguishing the flag from trees in the background. This one zeros in very nicely. Highly recommended! beau
I love the “PinSeeker” mode. Quickly hones in on the flag and with a very accurate reading. This is much better than a rangefinder without that feature…I would NEVER buy one! ryan
The product is very good. I tried to measure many matters, flag, hazzard,flowers, waters and all were sharp. sandor

Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, Bushnell’s Pinseeker mode allows easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently capturing background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD screen.
Powered by a 9-volt battery, the lightweight Medalist boasts a 4x magnification and features a rubber armoring, making it easy to grip. It also comes with a premium carrying case. Weighing just 9 ounces, the Medalist measures 1.7 x 4.5 x 3.8 inches in size and is ready to be used right out-of-the-box, allowing it to be played at 100 percent of the courses around the world. The Medalist is legal for tournament play and for posting of scores for handicap purposes. Other features include distance readings in both yards and meters and standard SCAN mode.

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.

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.
EVERY GOLFER WANTS SPIN, DISTANCE AND PINSEEKER. With its sleek horizontal profile the Medalist is about two things: Lower scores and PinSeeker technology. Quick and natural to the eye, the Medalist acquires flags tucked in the deepest corners of the green despite background clutter that befuddles lesser rangefinders. Wherever evil lurks anywhere on the course, the Medalist with PinSeeker provides you with the information you want, to make the shot you need.
What people talks?
Positive:
1) Accuracy
2) Small size ( you can mange with one hand, although you need two to
get a “steady” reading. The “Pinseeker” mode almost eliaintes this
issue though.
3) Cost (it is worth the value of $299)
4) Battery life (it has not blinked after a week of daily use) 9 volt
replaceable battery
5) Universal use (it works on ALL courses – no maps, PC, or SD memory
issues)
6) If you are in a scramble, guess who is the most popular player?
Negative:
1) The case is too flimsy. It loks good, but is not rugged enough.
Mine tore after 3 day. I bough a camera case for it that is much
more durable and is portable enght for both my portbale cart,a nd
a riding cart.

If you’re on the fence about which Laser unit to buy, I absolutely recommend this one. 3putt
I purchased the Bushnell Medalist Pinseeker and love it! It is nice and light, uses a single 9 volt battery, which is nice. No charger required so I will just keep a spare battery in my bag. So simple to use, press the power button center the circle on your target and press the button for a second and bam you have your yardage. I currently have a Sky Caddie 2.5 GPS rangefinder and had an earlier model before. The nice part about the Bushnell rangefinder is that you can target in anything on the course not just the yardages that Sky Caddie has entered, you don’t have to connect to a pc and download course info and of course there is no annual fee. If you don’t mind those things and like a small gps that you can wear on your belt get a Sky Caddie, if you do, get yourself a Bushnell Medalist! barnett
We are very happy with our Bushnell Laser Pinseeker Rangefinder. It is all that it was advertised to do and the price was right! brown
