Summary: Not bad - but , kick the tires first, at Long Distances!!
Review: I love Bushnell products, but I would advise that you try this unit somewhere where you are sighting LONG distances, such as on the golf course. The accuracy of the LONG DISTANCE readings (or getting a reading at all) depends on hitting the object in the distance with the laser beam-not that easy on a golf course with no large targets. However, you will use it and it will be helpful, but you really should try it first so you won't be disappointed. My mother-in-law is very large, so I have her run ahead to the next pin where she acts as a large reflector for the laser beam.

Summary: Don't buy this one
Review: I purchase this instrument twice. The first time there were black specks in the lense, so it was returned. The second time was worst, i.e. same black specs but the thing didn't work at all. I have also checked this manufacturer's other models out and most come with the disturbing black specks in the lense. This isn't a quality optical product.

Summary: Ranging in Tough Situations
Review: This product is rugged and forgiving. Accurate to +/- 1 ft., this is an absolute must have for all serious bowhunters. Lightweight and easy to use, I find only one minor design flaw. It is designed for right-handed use and is slightly cumbersome for those who choose to use it as left-handed hunters (I am). Even with this minor design flaw, I still am very satisfied with this unit and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. Most encounters are under 50 yards and ease of use and accuracy are critical elements in a hunt. I harvested a nice elk this year at 52 yards using this unit. Thanks Bushnell!
