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 Features
Standard with Automatic Scan
Scan across the course while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distance between you and your target.
Meters/Yards
You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button.
Reticle
The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button.
Battery Indictor
Flashes when battery power is low.
Target Quality Gauge
Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target.
Pinseeker 1500 Targeting Modes
BullsEye
Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display.
.
Brush
Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only.
.
PinSeeker
Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, this 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 display.

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.

Rating:  - Bushnell Pinseeker
Very fine product. Easy to use and accurate. I have a little problem with ranging other than the pins. Definitely speeds up play and adds confidence to my swing because I know the distance I need.
Rating:  - Vast improvement over original model
I purchased this product due to pinseeker feature when my previous Bushnell rangefinder LED display faded after many years of use. The new pinseeker feature makes this rangefinder a vast improvement over the original in terms of locking onto the yardage to the pin. I was amazed and very impressed with this feature. The 7x reticle also make it much easier to lock onto the pin (or any other object on the course), but it does make holding it steady more of a challenge when ranging distances over ... Read More
Rating:  - Sorry to Disappoint
Sorry to disappoint new potential buyers for this item, but after agonizing for many days on whether to spend the $338 for the Pinseeker 1500, I took all the good reviews to heart and dialed in my "Place Order." Only then did I find out that there would be $40 added for shipping. After calling Beach Camera for clarification, I was told that they do not even have the 1500 in stock. Amazon, get your act in order!

I have seen deals on these scopes before (I also purchased them) and Optics Planet is not honoring the order, saying it is a case, not the scope and telling me that it is my problem and they will send me an "RMA" if I would like. Just ... Read More
Rating: - Buy One
This product works well. I am pleased with the purchase. I tested it against a sophisticated cart GPS system and it was always on the mark. Even with the cart GPS available, the Bushnell came in handy many times, such as when we couldn't get the cart close to the ball, or when I wanted to check yardages for spots not on the GPS screen. It has some magnification, so it made just spotting the flag easier on longer distances. The carrying case is nice, especially with the magnetic flap. I had some ... Read More
