The Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 laser range finder is a high quality, affordable model designed primarily for use by hunters. It has a range of up to 999 yards for highly reflective objects and requires just a 5 yard minimum distance for measurement.
The Yardage Pro Sport carries an accuracy of within a yard for its targets. As mentioned, highly reflective targets can be measured at up to 999 yards, while unreflective or soft targets such as deer can be pinpointed at up to 200 yards. Objects that fall in between that spectrum, such as trees, can be targeted at up to 450 yards.
Perfect for gauging distances before your target arrives, as well as pinpointing the location of the animal once it does appear, the Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 laser range finder also is ideally suited to hunting environments and conditions. It is a weather resistant unit that comes with a case and strap for easy transportation and usage.
This model weighs just 7.4 ounces and it operates from a 9 volt battery. In addition to standard range finding, it also has modes for rain and reflective surfaces, providing maximum accuracy in all situations and environments.
As with all rangefinders in the Bushnell Yardage Pro line, the Pro Sport 450 laser range finder makes use of a through-the-lens LCD screen that provides easy to read figures and quick access to all of the important information that you need. The magnification is 4x, helping to provide a clear look at anything in your sights.
Altogether this laser range finder from Bushnell will be a quality companion on any hunting trip. It's easy to use and precise, and it comes at a great price.
Let it hinge on a guess, or nail it with this. The shot of a lifetime is a time for certainty. With the Yardage Pro Sport 450, you're confident to the last yard. It's affordable, simple to use and features a slim, weather-resistant design that's handy in a pinch. Now, jerky or sausage?

I bought this for shooting and this is the first rangefinder I have ever had any experience with and I have been very happy. It is a very simple setup. The button turns on the reticle and you just point it and push the button again and it displays the yards. After a short time it shuts back off. Doesn't get much simpler than that. I have read reviews where some people are unhappy because thiers only reads in meter instead of yards. There is a micro switch under the cover (kinda hidden) that switches between yards and meters. Overall, a great purchase.
Neat Gadget But Not for Golf

Originally picked this up to use on the golf course, but afterwards found out that even Bushnell says this is not the unit for golfers. It's small, lightweight and accurate, but does not have a scan feature, meaning the distance measurement does not change as you move the sight from one object to the next. You must "shoot" the object, pick a another and shoot it. I have kept it as it will be great for dear season, but aim higher in the Bushnell line for use on the golf course.
Great for anchoring your sailboat

Basically, it works great! We use our rangefinder to judge the distance from our boat to the shore, other boats, and anything else around us. Typical distances are 20 to 200 yards. We bought the cheapest rangefinder we could find because we didn't need accuracy, didn't need long distance, and weren't sure it would be useful to us. Turns out we use it all the time and recommend it to all our sailing friends. We would buy the same unit again, but there are three things about it I would change. First, the unit is about 1/2" too long for the case that came with it -- it fits, but the case doesn't close all the way. Very annoying! Second, sailors tend to measure in feet or meters and this unit measures in yards. It's easy enough to multiply by three, but at the end of a long day when you are trying to figure the dinstances between a rocky point, a mooring bouy, and two other boats, it would be nice to avoid the math... Third, I would add a backlight to the display for use at twighlight and at night -- the unit makes the measurements, you just can't see the crosshairs to aim and can't read the distance until you look at a light.

I'm not sure any laser rangefinder would be effective at long ranges, but this one at least is absolutely perfect at close ones. It even works in dim light.

Using this for golf. Pretty decent. It's difficult to aim at the flag but if you're standing on higher ground it's easy to just aim at the hole. Very useful if you want to know how far to carry a bunker/water etc. There were some instances where I couldnt get a yardage reading from it, suspect it's the angle at which the fairway was slanting towards. Not easy to find the yard/meter switch.
Size-wise it's actually smaller than the picture might lead you to believe. Overall good product for the price range.
Great rangefinder
