This is a 100% authentic, 100% real review. Dadtography was not compensated in any way for this review.

Bushnell is officially the first company to introduce a hybrid rangefinder unit to the market. The Bushnell Hybrid Pinseeker laser rangefinder uses a combination of GPS and laser technologies to give golfers the advantage of gauging distances far more accurately to the pin. The rangefinder combines the strength of the two technologies to achieve a precise distance so as to increase the shooting accuracy. GPS technology in the Bushnell Hybrid Pinseeker gives an overview of the greens and makes it easy to prepare for the upcoming shot.

Features of the Bushnell Hybrid Pinseeker Laser Rangefinder

Pinseeker technology, which allows a golfer with the device to zero in on the flag while eliminating the chance of accidentally picking something else up in the background that might have more reflection. It also comes with instant course recognition ability to help you focus on the course with no need to sync the device with a personal computer. Other important features that are included in the Bushnell Hybrid Pinseeker Laser Rangefinder include a durable rainproof design, auto-hide features and an LCD display. A USB charger, carrying case, strap and cable are al included aside the device being loaded with 16,000 North American courses.

Performance

The Pinseeker technology accurately finds distances ranging from 10 to 1000 yards. With the rangefinder, it is easier to pick out and hold onto your intended flagsticks or intended targets. The rangefinder is also good for finding distances to the front of the trees, bunkers and almost anything that a golfer wants to shoot with the laser. The rangefinder has a 5X magnification as part of its optics for improved accuracy when shooting targets. With the rangefinder, a golfer can find distances to the back, center and front of the green.  Being an approved device for tournaments, this Bushnell rangefinder is definitely a great addition to a golfer’s performance.

Pros

  • The good news about this Bushnell rangefinder is that it adheres to the tournaments regulations of USGA. You can buy it and use it to improve your game and increase your chances of winning tournaments.
  • The GPS and the laser units are combined, making it compact, portable and easy to use.
  • It is ready to use, right out of the box.

Cons

  • It is slightly bulky
  • The battery power is depleted quickly and therefore requires recharging more often.

Conclusion

At the price ranging from $249 to upwards of $499 for arguably one of the best rangefinder devices on the market today, it is worth trying it as it comes with many strong points and features other similar devices have not been able to master.
