Product Description
Weighing in at a mere 6.8 oz., the Yardage Pro Scout is the smallest, most compact laser rangefinder of its kind. Advanced laser technology delivers superb range performance to targets up to 700 yards away. A short, 10-yard minimum distance makes it the ideal tool for bow hunters. Features adjustable 6x magnification, accuracy to +/- 1 yard, scan, rain and Zip modes and built-in reflector. Powered by a 3-volt lithium battery (included) and available in standard green or the RealTree Hardwoods HD pattern.
Amazon.com Product Description
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:
 |
A. Targeting Modes
Scan
The Scan mode allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder.
Rain
This feature compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow.
Zip
Zip allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 150 yards) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches.
Reflector
This feature increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects. |
B. Meters/Yards
You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button.
C. Reticle
The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button.
D. Battery Indictor
Flashes when battery power is low.
E. Target Quality Gauge
Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target. |

Yardage Pro.......2007-12-28
As always Bushnell quality is great. Compact and easy to use. The Yardage Pro Scout Rangefinder is a great buy.
Good inside 200 yds.......2007-12-17
Bottom line: If you want the best product and don't mind paying a higher price and a larger sized rangefinder, buy the pinseeker.
I purchased this product for myself for use on the golf course. I was drawn by the smaller size and price of this rangefinder when compared to the Bushnell Pinseeker I was considering. However, the pro scout needs to really "see" the flag and not just the pin (stick) for it to give a measurement in most cases. The Pinseeker seems to give distance to the pin only better. This item does well inside of 200 yards, when someone is on the green, or when the wind is blowing (allows bouncing off the flag itself). It still sometimes takes several laser shots to get a distance. I still like this product however. It takes some getting used to in order to make it work well, but it is not perfect. I like to use it to determine distince to the water hazard, a specific tree, etc. It is still very useful, but if money and size of the product are not hindrances, buy the Pinseeker.
yardage pro.......2007-10-03
The laser works well and I use it all of the time. Those of you that want to spend more money should buy the pinseeker 1500, which works easier than the yardage pro, but for most shots the yardage pro works fine
Could not ask for better performance.......2007-09-22
I bought this from Amazon (best price anywhere) and was curious how precise it would be given that there are so many more models above this one.
I aim at the pin and push the button and get the yardage. Yes it does get the trees behind, but only when I aim poorly.
The real advantage is speed. Your round goes faster and better. One time I was in front of the 100 stake and measured the flag and it read 113. surprising. I would have hit a lob wedge in and been short (thinking I just miss hit the shot). This happened time and time again. It is also nice to get yardages to the pin from other fairways - which I occasionally play from :-)
Golf Range Finder.......2007-08-31
There are basically three types of rangefinders for golf use. There is the laser pinseeker which gives the distance the flagstick only. In order for this to work the flagstick must have specific reflective material mounted on top of it. The second type of rangefinder works using GPS. This type gives distances to various locations on the course. The third type focuses on a specific object in the viewfinder and gives the distance to it. The Bushnell Yardage Pro fall into the third catagory.
I have tried all three systems and I like the Bushnell system the best.
The first type will give an accurate distance to the flagstick only. It is easy to use but it is the largest of all of the rangefinders and the course must have the reflective sensors mounted on the top of the flagstick in order for it to work.
The GPS system is a hand held unit that gives distances to various landmarks on the golf hole such as bunkers, water hazards and the green. It gives the distances to the front, middle and back of the green but not the exact yardage to the hole. The course specefications must be available to downloaded into the GPS system for this to work and there is an annual subscription fee.
The Bushnell Yardage Pro gives the distance to whatever object is centered in the viewfinder. It must be held steady on the object to give an accurate reading and it is important to know the approximate distance before using the rangefinder. Otherwise, instead of getting the distance to the flagstick, it may be recording the distance to objects behind the green. It also does not work very well in low light conditions. These two disadvantages are the reasons that I have given it four stars instead of five.
Of the three types, I like the Bushnell style the best. It fits nicely into the palm of the hand and has a handy case that clips onto the golf bag.
