By GearSkeptic from Salt Lake City, UT on 10/14/2009 Pros: Compact, Lightweight Cons: Limited Range, Unstable Best Uses: Archery hunting Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the Bushnell Yardage Pro, with the intention of using it for rifle big game hunting in the Western U.S. I was sorely disappointed in its performance in both sunny and cloudy conditions, with and without snow, in the Utah mountains.
I was unable to get a reading for objects beyond 325 yards, whether trees or ground, with or without snow cover. 280 yards was the limit of its ability to consistently range. From 280 to 325, I could only sometimes get a reading.
If you plan use it to establish your maximum ethical range at 300 yards or less, or hunt only archery, I suppose this product could be of some use, but past 300 it's useless. I'm returning it.
By Hunter from Colorado on 09/11/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I thought this would be a long range unit but found it is not. It is fine on short to mid shots but once you get out over five hundred yards you need a house with sun on it. I returned this and will wait for a better range finder.
By hunter from colorado on 09/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I thought I found a great range finder for the right price but was wrong. This unit will only range to 350 to 400 yards on a Deer or Elk. I got 800 yards on a refelective house. The unit is OK but it is not a 900 yard range finder.
By Billy Kidd from Holden, MA on 09/03/2009 Pros: Accurate, Compact, Quality Lenses Best Uses: Hiking/Backpacking, Hunting Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It is great for verifying yardage on hunts or on a course.
By hunter from Colorado on 08/30/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: When I saw a range finder for up to 999 yards at this price I thought great. Will it's to good to be true. This is a fine mid range unit up to 400 yards. Anything over that and you need large reflective objects. I have only been able to pick up a house over 600 yards (in the sun). I have not been able to get anything over 700 yards.
To good to be true, but works well By hunter from Colorado on 08/24/2009 Pros: Accurate, Compact, Quality Lenses Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have been looking for a long range range finder and thought I found it. The information says it is good to 999 yards but when I got it that is only to a reflective object the size of a house. When I tried it on a house at 550 yards it would not even pick it up until it was in the sun. The shade side of the house had no reading. The box tells you it is only good for 3oo yards on a deer or elk. While this is fine, and should have been assumed at this price, it was not clear. This is a good mid-range rang finder just don't be fooled by the information provided.
By Golfergirl from Western New York on 08/06/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought it for golf and determining distances. A friend has a different model and it works great. It rarely picks-up the pin because it is not sensitive enough. I have not used it for anything else. Would not recommend it to golfers.
By Jimbob from Denver, CO on 05/26/2009 Pros: Compact, Quality Lenses Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the range finder primarily for golf and found that it would only pick up a flag consistantly from 150 yds or less. I need a range finder with distances for a golf flag of 250 to 300 yards. This range finder is likely good for larger objects but was not refined enough for what I require for golf.
This product really helps my game.
