Bushnell Range finders are well known amongst the golfing and hunting set where accuracy and ease of use in the outdoors are prime considerations.

Bushnell Outdoor Products is an American company that has been around since late 1947, when David P. Bushnell founded it while spending time in allied occupied Japan. Originally, Bushnell outdoor products was more or less a mail order binocular company, but it has grown into a company with eleven brands and over fifteen product lines. These products include telescopes, night vision items, ski goggles, sunglasses, spotting scopes and much much more, that distributes in over 27 countries.

In the last decade the company has changed hands several times but still maintains it's high quality of outdoor optical equipment. So much so that awards of quality are no stranger to this all American conglomerate. Outdoor Life magazine bestowed the Editors choice award in 2007 for the Bushnell Elite 4200 rifle scope and another for the Browning Sports optics binoculars, which followed the one they were awarded for the Legend binoculars in 2006.

The first GPS systems to allow satellite imagery to be integrated into the display was created by Bushnell in 2006, as well as adding XM radio for real time weather information. Field and Stream Magazine awarded Bushnell the 'Best of the Best' award in 2007 for the Onix 400 GPS.

It's no wonder that with such a pedigree, Bushnell Range finders are considered to be at the forefront of their product range. Golfers and hunters know when they see something that works!

The Bushnell Yardage Pro is one such Range finder and it comes in a variety of editions. There is the Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation, there is the Yardage Pro sport 450 which is also available in two types of camouflage coverings, the Yardage Pro 800, the Yardage Pro Legend which is also waterproof, the Yardage Pro Scout, the Yardage Pro 1000, the Yardage Pro 1600 which is waterproof and fog proof and the Yardage Pro Elite which comes multi coated, water proof and/or with a camouflage finish. So there are a number to choose from but the cream of the crop for a golfer is the Pinseeker.

This uses laser technology to bounce a beam from an object and then measure the time it takes to return. This timing is then translated into yards or meters as required. Of course the more reflective the target the more accurate the reading although the 'bounced' laser takes less than a second to travel back and forth. The Pinseeker measures ranges from 5 to 1500 yards and at the longest distance is reputedly within an accuracy of +/- one yard. It has a monocular with seven times magnification so you can accurately aim your range finder even in very low light conditions, say at dusk.

It weighs only 10 ounces and fits easily into your pocket and comes with a variety of modes that let you ignore brush or tree branches and take aim at the very base of the pin: at the cup itself! Oh yes, it also measures slope, by degrees of angle, while taking into consideration the golf balls trajectory and the type of club that is being used....yes really!

Waterproof, easy to use, small enough to carry and very accurate. Anyone I have talked to has said it has managed to improve their golf game considerably.

The Bushnell Yardage Pro Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation...worth looking into.

Your Hunting Optics - How to Select the Right One for the Right Job

Selecting hunting optics is a prime priority for rifle shooters and hunters. Good optics give you a major advantage with your long distance shooting and general accuracy. Some optics that you need to select include binoculars, scopes and other select optic equipment for hunting. Note that hunting optics can be expensive so it is important to know where to buy this equipment at the best prices. Your favorite magazines can provide assistance and nowadays it is common to buy optics on eBay as well where you can really pick up a bargain.

Hunting optics are manufactured by brands such as Swarovski, Bushnell, Leupold, Zeiss, ATN, and Nikon. All of these brands provide top quality optics and you will not go wrong with any of them. The key is to find the correct optics to fit your rifle, your shooting style and your particular needs.

What sort of hunting optics do you need? There are a number of different optics you may want to consider, including: rifle scopes, scope mounts, night vision scopes, spotting scopes, laser scopes, range finders, binoculars, and monoculars. Monoculars can be used on a tripod or just like binoculars. They are a single eyepiece, not a dual eyepiece like binoculars. They are ideal as they allow you to use one eye to look through them and the other to look around as normal. You can also purchase night vision monoculars.

Range finders are a popular hunting optic. They are a little more high tech than traditional hunting optics in that they can calculate the distance between your target and you by use of a laser. Range finders are becoming more and more affordable. A popular and highly rated product is the Bushnell Yardage Pro 450. The number in the product name generally refers to the distance it can range.

You can buy binoculars particularly for hunting. There is no point doing this with astronomy or bird watching binoculars! What you need is something like the Burris Landmark or Nikon Buckmaster which are excellent binoculars. The way you select your optics will depend on the type of hunting you do. If you hunt in the close to medium range you'll want a laser scope. If you hunt long distance then a rifle scope with high magnification is important. You'll also want a larger objective lens diameter.

If you often hunt in unpredictable weather then you'll want to select weatherproof and waterproof hunting optics. Scopes and binoculars are available in fog proof and waterproof varieties. Weight is also a consideration when selecting optics. A fixed magnification scope for example will be lighter as will one with a smaller objective lens size. This is an important consideration if you are carrying your gear for long periods of time.

Other aspects you'll need to look out for when selecting hunting optics include magnification, field of view, exit pupil, eye relief and objective lens diameter. Once you have a good idea of your hunting needs, you'll be able to best select optics to suit your particular style.
