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.
What people talks?
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
