But with golf, you want the closest object you are pointing at (e.g. A hunting rangefinder will return the distance of the most distance object when in doubt. the flagstick, not the hill behind the flagstick). I'm sure this rangefinder is fine for hunting, but it is definitely NOT meant for golf. It seems that a good hunting rangefinder and a good golf rangefinder are mutually exclusive.
And this is even smaller and lighter also. Compared to my friend;s similarly priceed bushnell rangefinder, Nikon 550 detects range faster and higher success rates. I'm totally pleased the quality and price of this rangefinder. I bought this for my golf play. It just works as expected.
It is made for level and flat ranging only. Note that this does not have a ballistic computer to calculate slope angles in it. Recommend this for anyone that just needs distance to target and not a downward or incline angle distance.
This unit is light and easy to use. I have used it out to 270 yards and it has been able to range off of both highly reflective objects, as well as those that are not very reflective. I bought this at a big box store and used it later that day.
The dull olive drab green color goes well in the toned down look you may need in the field as well. But then at the price $180-200 this is just fine. I only wish it had the 8X magnification of the 440 and a Bushnell unit I have used in the past.
This unit works well though and does what a rangefinder is supposed to do, give you the range to an object.
There are others on the market that are much more expensive, and although they have more features, I think the Nikon Prostaff 550 is an excellent value. This is the first rangefindern I have owned and used. I does just what I need it to; gives me distances from my tree stand while hunting.
water proof and fog proof and Nikon quality for $180.00.I am very happy.the item is out of stock but will be in soon.thanks Amazon. I think I got a real good deal. I just ordered my pro staff and can't wait to get it. I looked over the others and they cost a lot more.
