Hi folks, this is Trevor with GolfEtail.com, and today I am reviewing the Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament Edition Laser Rangefinder.

Bushnell has been the #1 Laser Rangefinder on tour for a long time, and that is because they make really good products. This one has a huge range, 7x magnification, and Japanese made optics, so you know you are getting the highest quality.

With the Pro 1600 Tournament Edition, you can use both “Scan” mode and “Pinseeker” mode. With Scan mode, you get distances on anything the middle of the laser rangefinder touches while you are scanning the course, so you can get distances to trees, bunkers, etc. Pinseeker mode is where you dial in on the pin and push the button here, so it locks in, so you get precise yardages. Their accuracy is +/- 1 yard, so you know you are going to choose the right club each and every time.

You can see here on the back of the box, it gives you the ranges of the different modes of shooting with this Laser Rangefinder. When you are hitting the flag, your range is 5-400 yards, and that is including Pinseeker mode. When hitting a non-reflective surface such as a tree, the range is 5-1000 yards, and the big daddy of them all, when hitting a reflective surface such as a house, the range is 5-1600 yards, so this thing is going to give you distances, no matter how far away you are trying to hit the ball.

The Pro 1600 Tournament Edition comes with this great carrying case as well as the 9 volt battery that powers the device. Jump on our website, GolfEtail.com and pick one up, this makes a great Christmas gift, and you know that whoever gets it is going to love it.
