Product Description
Measure from ball to pin, not ball to pine. The secret to a good round of golf is making accurate shots - not easy when the pin is competing with the trees around it for your rangefinder's attention. Next time, pack along the new PinSeeker. It's accurate to +/- one yard from 5 to 1, 500 yards away and will range directly to the flag, not the objects behind it. With two Selective Targeting modes, you'll get the shot you're looking for, every time - no worries, hazards or mulligans necessary.
Amazon.com Product Description
Your Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of digital technology that allows range readings from 5 to 1,500 yards. Measuring 1.7 by 5.1 by 3.7 inches, the 10-ounce Pinseeker 1500 delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The Pinseeker 1500 features Selective Targeting Modes, superb optical quality, 100% waterproof construction, and Bushnell's RainGuard coating.
The Pinseeker 1500 emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses. Its Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back.
The ranging accuracy of the Pinseeker 1500 is plus or minus one yard under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 1,000 yards, while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1,500 yards.
The Pinseeker 1500 features a powerful 7x magnification monocular for viewing your target. Optics are fully multi-coated, allowing maximum light transmission for optimum brightness, superb resolution, and contrast for a clear vivid image even in low-light conditions such as dusk or dawn. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and, when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards and meters, and Mode indicators.

Laser Rangefinder Tech Talk
A laser rangefinder is a distance-measuring instrument that uses laser technology to calculate the distance to targeted objects. Accuracy is +/- 1 yard, and the distance is displayed instantaneously on a built-in, through-the-lens Liquid Crystal Display.
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.

Works great watch out for battery door to fall off.......2007-12-07
The battery door design on this unit blows. It fell off on the golf course.
Now I have duct tape holding the battery in. I will be writing Bushnell for a replacement, we'll see what happens...
A substantial improvement over earlier iterations of this same product........2007-10-08
This is a beautifully constructed laser instrument for accurately measuring your distance to the pin or to any obstacle on the course. It works significantly better than the older version of this same product locking in much quicker plus it can find the flag MUCH easier.
My dad and I both use this when we are playing golf and find it to be completely reliable. You will also find additional uses for your Yardage Pro Laser Rangefinder. I use my for sighting in my rifle and for all sorts of other things.
One small downside. You do have to drag it out and sight in every time you need a measurement and that does get a bit tiresome. The GPS units that are on some golf carts on some courses are VERY convenient but do not give precise yardage to the pin and other objects.
I heartily recommend this product! It delivers exactly as promised.
What a great tool!.......2007-10-02
My wife and I bought the Pinseeker 1500 and we love it. I'm an 8, she's a 13. We both agree it saves us at least 2-3 strokes per round. It's very intuitive and easy to use. She "hits" targets with the laser for me and I "hit" hers. Saves time for both of us. We used to use course yardage markers and eyeball targets when we couldn't find those. Boy, have we found that both course yardage markers and our "eyeball" estimates were off sometimes. Now we know the yardage to the yard and that really gives us a lot of confidence in our club selection. This tool removes the guesswork and will save you strokes. Well worth the money.
The best rangefinder out there!.......2007-09-17
This is my 3rd Bushnell rangefinder since 1998. The 1st one I bought is the 1st generation Bushnell, which is very bulky, but very durable. After 6 years of use, I upgraded to the Tour-XL in 2004. The Tour-Xl is a much better device than the 1st generation rangefinder. It's smaller in size, and can pick up the flags in distance in the Scan mode (in most cases, the 1st generation one can't give a reading to the flag 200 yards out because of hand shake). But you have to hold the fire button to search for the targets. It usually takes 3~4 seconds. In tournament play, pace of play is very important, these 3~4 seconds sometimes seem a little too long.
This Pinseeker does a lot better job than the Tour-XL in picking up small targets. And it does it easy. You just need to press the fire button once and aim it aound the target. It will give a reading almost immediately. It works great for me so far. Plus, this Pinseeker has a rugged design. It feels very solid and durable in your hands.
Worth the Price.......2007-09-13
It is true, one of the best rangefinders out there. I bought one because I golfe with someone who had something similar, but after using this one, I feel it is better. The adjustable eye piece is great. 7x magnification, and accuracy.

Golf Rangefinder in Thailand.......2007-12-27
I purchased this golf rangefinder for my use in golfing in Thailand and it has amazed all of my friends and the golf caddies in Thailand. Most people stare at me and think I am using a camera, but when I show them how to use the raangel they all want to try and use it themselves.
Some of the yardage markers on the Thailand golf courses are off by as much as 10 yards, which is around 1 club difference. This can have a big effect, especially when hitting a 6 or 7 iron for example. I find this to equate to around 2-3 saved strokes a round, not bad for the $400 dollar investment!
The slope feature on the other hand is more of a gimmick and not really needed. If I had to purchase again I would go for the normal model, without the slope feature. It is less expensive and legal for use even in tournaments!
Check out http://www.golfasian.com for some more information.
Pinseeker 1500 is GREAT!.......2007-12-26
I struggled between a GPS device and a rangefinder and eventually decided to go with a rangefinder. I narrowed that list down to the Callaway and Bushnell 1500 w/ slope and I am glad I did -- it is easy to use and very accurate. I highly recommend this product!
Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker/w slope.......2007-12-23
The product does everything it is represented to do. It has really helped in club selection and imrpove warmup and practice sessions. When on the driving range, you can check the distances shown by the course to see if they are correct...they never are! You could be thinking you are hitting a specific club 150 yards, but are actually short of the distance or even long if you area a big hitter. That also transfers out to the course. When they mow, or move the pin, the distances can change by many yards, this is where the Pinseeker excels. With the slope feature turned on, you will get the most accurate distance imaginable. A definite plus for any golfer who wants to improve his club selection, consistency, and overall game!
It helps.......2007-12-12
It works as advertised and becomes a constant companion on the golf course. It is very accurate with the distances. It takes a little time to get it focused from distances greater than 170 yards. So far, the slope calculator hasn't been necessary. Rarely have I seen a slope more than 2 degrees. It's a great tool.
cost over $400 and totally useless piece of junk.......2007-11-22
It only worked for a few times on a golf course. Now I can only get a reading within 100 yard and no reading beyond that. I changed the batteries and won't work either. I paid over $400 for this piece of junk.
