Criteria Used for Evaluation

Accuracy

The utmost goal of any rangefinder is to provide the most accurate distance to the targeted object. So, it comes naturally to have this criterion as the first one on the list and that determined the scoring of the devices. But that wasn’t easy at all because we knew that we were reviewing Bushnell devices, the most dominant company in the world when it comes to rangefinders of any kind. And indeed, if you take a look at the scoring related to this criterion, at all the products on the list, you’ll notice that the numbers are the highest here. This points to the fact that accuracy is the highest selling point of Bushnell and that there are many other criteria that distinguish the best from the others.

Features

This section is what makes a big difference among all the devices on the list and greatly contributed to the order of their appearance on this list. Here we include all the technologies used to provide unhindered game performance in any aspect. The patented JOLT technology is the one that made all the fuss in the latest models that the company made for golfers. Devices that feature this technology provide a quick location of the pins and notify the golfer once they have locked onto the flag by emitting vibration pulses. These devices are very successful in marking the pins without considering the surrounding objects up to 450 yards at the best models or up to 400 yards for the average ones. The ultimate distance that they can reach is up to 1350 yards or 1000 for the average ones. Another thing that makes difference between the best and the average ones is the slope function and the way it works, i.e., how easy it is to disable it. What we considered next was the ability to detect targets in low light conditions and under various weather conditions. And finally, we searched for the ability to connect the device with your smartphone and utilize the free benefits that the app provides.

Effectiveness

The importance of this criterion is self-explanatory and in our case, it meant effective reading of the distances without false positives. There are many rangefinders out there which claim to provide fast and effective distance and get correct readings, but unfortunately, they fail to do perform the intended goal. So, we focused on this criterion and closely examined if these Bushnell rangefinders are as effective as they are described. Generally speaking, they all perform their intended function properly, with some exceptions here and there and that can be seen in the numbers provided.

Durability

Here, we mostly relied on customers' comments and reviews regarding their experience with these devices. One thing which must be mentioned regarding durability is the limited two-year warranty that the company provides starting from the purchase day and it is against manufacturing defects. So, what we were interested in was the durability and the effective performance beyond the warranted time limit and if they provide correct reading after that period of time. Another thing that was examined within this section was their resistance to the everyday wear and tear on the golf course and the resistance to some weather elements. More or less the reviews and the comments confirm the manufacturer’s claim of high durability and resistance to outer elements with some exceptions.

Bottom Line

In this last section we tried to summarize the overall performance of the devices and it is a sublimate of all the previous criteria taken together. Here we also considered the price tags that these devices have and if they are a real value for the money and if the golfers receive real benefits by having a certain device or not. Another thing that was considered within this section was the overall level of satisfaction of the customers and the ease of use. So, these are many bits and pieces that make up the complete perception and the performance of the products.

Technology
One thing is for sure; with it, you’ll get an unprecedented performance and impressive measurement distances. One thing that definitely puts this device on the throne is the dual display technology which makes it possible to choose from a bright red display or black display in accordance with the lighting conditions or your own preferences. In addition to this, it features the patented JOLT technology, the one that makes you certain that it has locked onto a flag once you feel the vibrations. When you have the slope mode on, you will have measurements that are based on the degree of the slope which is much more accurate. However, this feature is not in accordance with USGA regulations, so you have the Slope-Switch technology which turns off the slope mode.

Use
There is a power button which activates the display; aim the circle toward the target and hold the button down until the range is displayed in the bottom. Once you get the reading, you can release the power button. To switch the modes, or to receive new measurement pres the power button again and repeat the procedure. To switch from slope to non-slope mode just slide the button on the left up and down. The 6x magnification can be controlled by rotating the eyepiece while the display is in focus.

Design
One more feature that distinguishes this device from the others is the fully waterproof property due to rubber armored metal housing which protects is. Regardless of the weather conditions, you will be able to use it without being afraid that you might get it damaged. It is small and compact, but it is a bit heavier compared to other models because of a metal housing. With the purchase of this rangefinder, you get the Bushnell app that provides you with more than 36,000 courses, including 3D flyovers, holes layouts and distances.

Cost and Value
This is an amazing premium rangefinder that will provide avid golfers with everything they need for a flawless game. It features all possible technologies that make a rangefinder exceptionally fast, accurate, durable and easy to use.

Technology
With Bushnell can nothing surprise us, so this combination of laser and a GPS into one device makes things much easier and much more accurate. This is the world’s first rangefinder that has a display which provides the measurements taken from both, the laser and the GPS. It also features the distinctive JOLT technology that is super accurate and which yields super accurate measurements of the pins with 5x magnifier up to 400 yards. Once the flag has been confirmed, there’re vibrating pulses that notify the golfer.

Use
To set and operate the device there are four buttons on the side of the display, including the 36,000 courses that have internal storage. The update of the stored courses can be carried out through the Bushnell app that connects the device with your smartphone. On the course, you get the front and the back yardage and there is another function that measures individual shots. The GPS screen is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and can be charged through a USB cable, whereas the laser works on CR2 battery. This double powering approach means that in case you forget to charge the USB, the laser will still work.

Design
Compared with the Tour V4 models that we will talk about below, this one looks bulkier, but that is kind of expected since there are actually two devices into one. It comes with a case and a carabineer bag clip, a charger for the GPS, two CR2 batteries for the laser, lens cleaning cloth and a microfiber towel.

Cost and Value
It has always been better two have two instead of one, and it is even better to have the two into one. When they created this device they knew what they were doing and that’s the reason why over 90% of tour players have chosen this model to rely on. The price tag is indeed hefty; however, the certainty that you’ll get the best of the best makes it a good value.
