What do you do when you’ve become the leader in your chosen category? If you’re Shot Scope, you seek out a new category to lead. Overall the features of this rangefinder will mimic any of the top models on the market and surpass some. Usability Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, re-manufacture or damage the device. Please send to Shot Scope Technologies Ltd for repair. GolfBuddy suggests the Aim L10V is accurate within a yard and has an 880-yard range. In testing, we found this model lives up to that claim within 200-yards and gives near identical yardages compared to the top of the range products on the market (±1 yard).Outside this range, human testing makes valid data a little more challenging to come by. However, the figures above should give you no doubt about the L10V’s accuracy and will be more than enough for most golfers. Features

Accuracy can be very dependent on the stability of the rangefinder that you have in your hand. The Nikon Coolshot 20i GII is not the most stable rangefinder in the Nikon lineup. This budget-friendly model offers a clear view and rapid-fire measurements when trying to collect a lot of information at once. If you are after an accurate rangefinder, with slope and voice activation, this is the cheapest and best option out there. GolfBuddy Laser Lite is water-resistant. If you get caught in a bit of rain, you won’t need to panic, but the model is not fully waterproof. Worried? I wouldn’t be – it has survived a full winter of testing in the great British weather. In addition, there is a scan mode on the Nikon that works a bit differently than other models. With the 8-second continuous measurement scan, you will be able to move your rangefinder around and see the measurements change as you scroll over different areas.This is a small consideration but something that certain golfers will want to ensure they have thought of prior to purchasing. Usability Like most modern rangefinders, the Shot Scope PRO L1 starts working the moment you install the (included) battery. One press of the power button brings up the aiming crosshairs, another press gives you the distance. Shot Scope have produced a laser that provides all the basics you would expect from a product in its price range but that also has a couple of handy extras you generally would not get at that price point. The Nikon claims to be accurate within a 2-yard range with this Coolshot model. Although it may not sound like too much of a difference, you have to consider whether you would rather have a 3-foot putt or a 9-foot putt for birdie… Features Shot Scope claims the Pro L1 accuracy within one yard and displays all yardages to 0.1 yards! This gives the impression of some serious precision. In our testing the ShotScope L1, we found that the ShotScope Pro L1 was accurate within a yard up to 150-yards away, but that figure rose to ±2-yards outside that range, not bad but a smidge behind the GolfBuddy options in terms of performance.

The TecTecTec Vpro500 is very lightweight, compact and portable. The exterior is durable, and there is a carrying pouch that comes with the unit to help keep it safe. Usability

Accuracy & Performance

What we like about the GolfBuddy Laser Lite is that there is not much that you will have to give up on; the product has everything the average golfer and even lower handicapper needs to perform on the course. Similar to the other models on our list, the Shot Scope Pro L1 is rather compact in size and allows you to operate with just one hand. If you look at the pricing of the Nikon cameras, you may find that this is actually a pretty good deal for a Nikon product. It is Nikon’s low-priced rangefinder option, with all the comparable features of other products in this review. The rangefinder applies 905nm laser, which is the same as the sunlight 905 band wavelength. If the sunlight is very bright and glaring, it can interfere with the light returning and reduce the measurement distance. The total range for the TecTecTec VPro500 is 540 yards. This is plenty long enough for the average golfer, and it claims to have one yard of accuracy. We found that from 200 yards and in the continuous scan mode did an excellent.

You therefore need to decide which suits you best. Ordinarily I would have always chosen the watch option but there is a lot to be said for the extra accuracy that range finders bring to the table. Having both is definitely an advantage when it comes to lowering your score. The GolfBuddy Aim L10 V is moderately priced, especially considering that it also has slope technology. You may pay a few dollars more for the voice technology, but for those that really want to avoid the GPS technology, this can be a good alternative. Golf Insider verdict On one hand, it’s the latest entry in the growing field of high-featured yet modestly priced rangefinders. On the other, the Shot Scope PRO L1 is a touchpoint for a deeper and more interesting conversation. The TecTecTec VPro500 is also considered an eye-safe laser rangefinder that will not strain your vision from continuous use.Good news if you are really golf obsessed! M3 is Speed Mode and basically turns your PRO L1 into a speed gun. You hold the button down and target a moving object to tell how fast it’s going. Useful for golf? Not really, but you can have some fun with it.The first thing you will notice about the GolfBuddy Aim L10V is how small it is. For some golfers, this is positive, and for others, this is a negative. We like these more compact rangefinders as they are lighter in weight and easier to manage as we make our way around the golf course. If you want something chunkier, take a look at some of the large Bushnell models on the market. The Pin Finder mode has a vibration feature that will alert you to the fact that you have found the pin. For those that really struggle with vision and looking through a rangefinder, we’d suggest a combination of the Pin Finder mode with the Voice Output. If you turn Slope off, the only readout you’ll see is the horizontal distance. To make the unit tournament legal, a red LED below the switch illuminates when Slope is turned off.
