Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout Laser Rangefinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout for my son for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. I have a Nikon compact 800 laser rangefinder that I thought was best small package laser rangefinder available, that is until I saw the Pro Scout.
I still like the Nikon, but the Pro Scout works equally well, with just slightly less range capability. The big plus for the Pro Scout is it's size. It is about half or less the size and weight of the Nikon (or Bushnell) 800 compact and comes with a pouch that when it's on your belt you almost don't notice it's there.
If I didn't already have the Nikon, I would buy a Pro Scout for myself in a minute.

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 Sport 600 Laser Rangefinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My old Bushnell rangefinder died after a long and useful life. I use it for golf mostly as I have a difficult time judging distance due to losing an eye playing hockey many years ago.
This is a good basic rangefinder that does what they say it does. Point, push and you know how far away whatever is. The unit takes a little practice to use as it is a little lighter than it needs to be but once you get the hang of it it works great. No bells and whistles aside from the rain feature which all Bushnell's have, just distance in yards or meters.
I hope this rangefinder gives me the 15 years+ service my old one did.

Monarch Laser 800 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased one of thes not too long ago and have come to absolutely love it. It is light, easy to carry and fits perfectly in your hand. The buttons are located in a position that makes them easy to use. Almost from the first use, I could tell the buttons apart and did not have to look to make sure which I was pushing. Operation of the unit is very intuitive. I only read the instructions once and could easily understand how to use it, and how to change modes while I am using it.
It measures distances rapidly and unless I am measuring at a really steep angle to the item it has never had difficulty returning a measurement during my learning process.
This rangefinder is easy to carry and very accurate. It was money well spent!!!!

Bushnell BowHunter "Chuck Adams" Edition Laser Rangefinder (Bow Mode) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered the Chuck Adams edition laser range finder with the intention of using it for my annual blacktail deer hunting trip. I thought the angle compensation feature would be helpful should I decide to use a tree stand. The range finder produced an accurate range when it worked and there is the problem. It only worked half of the time! For some unknown reason, it would just not show a range when I pressed the button more than 50% of the time. It did'nt seem to matter what the background or environment was; sunny, shade, windy, still, even highly reflective signs. I work and help raise two children; I don't have a lot of leisure time and my hunting trips are few and far between. When I go hunting, I need a product that does what it is supposed to do. I returned it and am awaiting my refund.

With the help of Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo of Archer's Choice television fame, Nikon has designed the Archers Choice Laser Rangefinder from the ground up specifically for real-world bowhunting situations.

Only one number is displayed--the correct distance needed to make the shot.
The rangefinder features Nikon's legendary multicoated optics, waterproof/fogproof ruggedness and pocket-sized portability. The Nikon Archer's Choice also features long eye relief (18mm), an adjustable diopter and 6x, bright, multicoated optics.

Stop guessing at distances while on the hunting range with the Nikon RifleHunter 550 laser rangefinder. Offering absolute precision in the palm of your hand, the RifleHunter 500 employs Nikon's advanced Tru-Target ranging system, which lets users prioritize smaller and harder-to-range lone targets at the push of a button. As a result, it's easier than ever to range objects as small as fence posts, or get an instant read on that lone buck in the meadow. The unit also relies on Nikon's advanced ID technology to compensate for various incline or decline shooting angles--up to an incredible plus-or-minus 89 degrees (nearly vertical up or down). And thanks to Nikon's digital measurement processor, you'll enjoy speedy 1/2-yard accuracy within 99.5 yards, and 1-yard accuracy from 100 to 550 yards. On the other end of the spectrum, the unit can range as close as 11 yards, so you aren't restricted to long-distance targets only.
Add in such features as 6x multicoated optics, an eyeglass-friendly 18mm of eye relief, 100-percent waterproof and fogproof construction; and a maximum measurement of 733 yards and you have a comfortable, powerful range finder that leaves its competitors in the dust.

Nikon ProStaff 550 Laser Rangefinder (Green) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have compared the Nikon ProStaff Laser Rangefinder 550 to a Nikon Prostaff 440 and a Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450, using all three on the same targets.
Note: I have NOT tried these units on a golf course. All three units are made in China.
The Nikon 550 is a very capable laser range finder, and is very similar in ability to the Nikon 440.
The main differences between the two are the slightly greater range of the 550 model.
Despite the understatement of the advertising, I have ranged out to 706 yards with the Nikon 550, and 545 yards with the Nikon 440.
Dark trees can be ranged up to about 400 yards with the Nikon 550, and 330 yards with the Nikon 440. Deer can be ranged to 300 yards reliably with both. The 550 model has a magnification of 6X and the 440 unit is 8X and I greatly prefer the 8X view of the Nikon 440.
Both have a diopter adjustment which is adequate for my eyeglass correction of +5 diopters with and without my glasses.
I also find the long rubber eyepiece of the 550 unit difficult to use if I change to and from eyeglasses, as I do not like to keep folding the rubber down, and I know from experience that you can fold these type of eyepieces only so many times before the rubber (or vinyl) cracks.

Ranging Performance is:
Dark trees: Nikon 550 400 yards, Nikon 440 330 yards
Telephone poles: Nikon 550 430 yards, Nikon 440 360 yards
Deer: unobstructed medium deer, both 300 yards
Dark shrubs: Nikon 550: 400 yards, Nikon 440 350 yards
Light colored buildings: Nikon 550 535 yards, Nikon 440 453 yards
Very reflective targets, eg trucks, Nikon 550 706 yards, Nikon 440 535 yards
They both acquire targets well and range accurately when compared to other units.
I am biased to wards the Nikon 440 unit, because:
1. it is smaller and handier
2. It has 8X magnification which I really like and use (and need)
2. It is adequate for anything out to 300 yards and often 400 yards
3 It costs about 60 dollars less than the Nikon 550
5. The battery compartment screws down 3 turns and seems better sealed than the 1/4 turn compartment of the Nikon 550
6. The optics are virtually the same on both except for magnification. Both are clear and bright.
7. Generally, the range is perhaps 15 or 20 percent more for the Nikon 550 unit due to the higher laser power (15 watts pulse vs the 8.5 watts pulse of the 440 unit).
Other notes;
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 is not anywhere in the same league as the other two, despite the price (I paid 179). The Bushnell is simple to use but will not read beyond 230 yards on any but the most reflective target, despite what the advertising says. The longest range I could measure with it was 330 yards and that on a reflective sign. This unit is supposed to range up to 800 yards (732 meters)! It will range a tree up to 200 yards as claimed, but the best it will do on medium deer is 140 yards. It is a 4 power monocular, and will range down to 6 yards, the others will range as close as 11 yards (10M). This Bushnell is by far the lowest quality of any unit I have seen. Bushnell claims water resistance, but there are various entry points for water, and if the unsealed battery compartment is opened, green circuit board is visible. If the rubber eyepiece protector is removed (all too easily) the optics are exposed and vulnerable. There is absolutely nothing to protect the electronics and optics from water and moisture. That along with very poor ranging capabilities make this Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 nothing more than a child's toy, albeit an expensive one.
