Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder

Bushnell Pinseeker Series Rangefinders:

Compact in size but loaded with powerful rangefinding features, the Bushnell Medalist sets a new standard in a complete rangefinder package. Like its predecessor--the PinSeeker 1500--the Medalist is equipped with PinSeeker technology to combine pinpoint accuracy and consistency enabling you to range up to 300 yards (±1 yard) to the flag without the use of reflectors.

Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, Bushnell's Pinseeker mode allows easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently capturing background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD screen.

Powered by a 9-volt battery, the lightweight Medalist boasts a 4x magnification and features a rubber armoring, making it easy to grip. It also comes with a premium carrying case. Weighing just 9 ounces, the Medalist measures 1.7 x 4.5 x 3.8 inches in size and is ready to be used right out-of-the-box, allowing it to be played at 100 percent of the courses around the world. The Medalist is legal for tournament play and for posting of scores for handicap purposes. Other features include distance readings in both yards and meters and standard SCAN mode.

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.

Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Reviews

I love that I can read distances to pins and bunkers on any course without ever having to purchase gps downloads. When needed, I pull the unit out like a club, flip the lever to extend the leg, and take my reading with perfect stability. Plus I can read distances to fronts and backs of bunkers, trees, rocks or what have you. I gave it a try with my Medalist and it proved to be the ideal solution. I found it a bit inconvienient to have to rely on bracing against the cart, especially since there were cart-path-only restrictions in place. Works very well for me.

All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. All I need is a line of sight. The Pinseeker function seems to work nicely also. Being an advanced amature photographer, I've often used a mono-pod to support my cameras. On the first outing I was having the same difficulty with stability that others have reported. The pod with Medalist attached, slips easily into a club slot in my bag, but I need to be careful about slinging the bag around, or letting it drop. Throw it back and the bag and grab the correct club. And it works whether I have a tree cover or cloud cover as well.

This offers some protection, but the case is not extremely padded, so I still need to take care. I am still taking a couple of readings at the pin, just to build confidence that I am actually reading the pin and not something else. I attached the case, using a lanyard, to the mono-pod, and slip the case off and on the Medalist, just as I would a club cover. I have used the Medalist for five rounds now, and I'm very happy with the results.

It is all that it was advertised to do and the price was right. We are very happy with our Bushnell Laser Pinseeker Rangefinder.

Word for word. So far the only obstacle has been deciphering the English part of the manule. Remember, no matter how good this thing is, you still have to make the shot. After five minutes playing with it, I could of written the instructions. It like a point and shoot camera. No, I can't tell you how it works on the course yet, but I can tell you the Honda down the street is a full 7 iron. The problem with the battery cover and carrying case, I've been reading about, makes me think it's a different model.The size and weight is just right. Yes I've read all about it from the manufacture, golf players, and pro's before I bought it.

More later. No pictures, but it's in six different languages. Pretty basic. The neighbors' boat is a three quarter 56 degree wedge, and I'll have to lay up to the school yard. OK,OK,OK.So I just got it and have a tee time later today. It looks like they translated it from German.

It arrived with the cover off, which should have been my first clue. It would not snap on, and it took about a gram's worth of pressure for it to fall off- without un-latching it. It's a very poor design, to have the cover piece fit over a curve. I thought I'd spend the extra money to get the "pin-seeker" technology.

NO. The case for it looks like it cost bushnell about 10 cents to make, and was sewn by a blind man.- pretty disconcerting for such an expensive gadget. Are rangefinders a great thing for golf.

First, this model does not work a bit better than my old one. I could not find a used one like it, so I opted to purchase a medalist, from someone on e-bay. Is this the rangefinder you want. I love having a rangefinder, but I am extremely disappointed that bushnell has such poor quality control. I used the new one today, and the cover fell off 4x during the round, just sitting in the golf cart. I took it to a local golf store, and they were willing to exchange it.

Yes, they are. And then there's the cover for the battery. I only wish I had purchased it on amazon, because then i could send it back. You can tape it on, but I don't think you should have to duct-tape something that is $250. In fact, I generally find that it has a harder time finding the pin, not an easier one. I had an old bushnell that I loved- right up until someone stole it from my cart.

I bought it. If you happen to shoot the laser past the flag, it shows you the farther target, then resets with the actual target. So I leaned toward the laser range finder. Just about that time Bushnell came out with the Medalist with "Pin Seeker" technology. Now, I'm not a great golfer; a 17-handicap. On my very first outing, a club tournament, I hit three of the four par-threes to within 15-feet; I won two of those greenies. Have fun; it's a new toy after all.

My handicap is still 17.). A number of my golfing buddies own and use Golf GPS units.

(We won't talk about the other green not hit). This unit is easy to use; no shakey movement and with the "Pin Seeker" technology, pin-pointing the flag-stick is easy.

And it really works.LarryJ

(Can you tell I love it. You can also sight water hazard carries; bunker carries; lay-up distances, etc.

I tried them, but depending on the course you're playing, there was a question as to making the correct interpretation. What the range finder does is gives you the confidence of the distance (you still need to calculate wind and elevation), but with that out of the way, just hit the ball.
