Product Description:
Weighing in at a mere 6.8 oz., the Yardage Pro Scout is the smallest, most compact laser rangefinder of its kind. Advanced laser technology delivers superb range performance to targets up to 700 yards away. A short, 10-yard minimum distance makes it the ideal tool for bow hunters. Features adjustable 6x magnification, accuracy to +/- 1 yard, scan, rain and Zip modes and built-in reflector. Powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (included) and available in standard green or the RealTree Hardwoods HD pattern.
Amazon.com Product Description:
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout compact laser rangefinder can display the distance of a larger object up to 700 yds. The monocular design provides continuous distance measurement as multiple targets in the field of view are scanned. Battery included. Color: Hunter Green.
Hunting and golfing will never be the same with the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout. Its 10- to 700-yard range with 1-yard accuracy (plus or minus, without reflectors or special devices) makes it perfect for golfing, bow hunting, and archery. The pocket-sized Pro Scout is water resistant and comes with a standard 3-volt battery.
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:

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. |

- ok
This rangefinder seems to work flawlessly. I have no complaints about it. However I will never buy another bushnell product again. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. I bought a brand new scope off of them to find out that it's defective. It's got a "lifetime warranty" so I sent it back to them and they said that there was a problem with the image erector and they said that they wouldn't cover the warranty on it because it was my fault. I only used the thing one time and I'm always ... Read More
Rating: - Great product
very happy with this product,use it to play golf and can say that it works good.
Rating: - Not Bad
I didn't quite get the range out of this that I thought I would.However it is very effective.
I can range things like trees out to about 450 yards.I can range big shiny things like RVs out to about 600 yards.I bought it for hunting and can reliably range things like elk to 300 yards.
Ultimately I figured if I can't range an elk with it Id better keep hiking because Im obviously farther away than I should be to shoot at it.However it would be nice to know how much ... Read More

- Not quite what I was hoping.
I play executive courses in Florida and many of these are located in housing developments.Flags are frequently in front of houses and or trees.It is difficult to obtain the correct yardage for these holes.There also is very little support on how to align on the target whether it is the flag, flag pole, front of green, etc.My iGolf GPS unit is much more useful.

- So so
Item arrived quickly, but I was disappointed with its usage. It was fine for measuring to a sand trap or people on the green but I could seldom get range to the flag. I am going to return the item and pay more for a better one.
