The Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 seems to be well made and not too heavy, nor too light. For my own purposes, it will work just fine. I will be using it to measure straight line distances across a series of “sinkholes” in Citrus County, FL. For the purposes of the study, I need to known the widths of these geologic features. It is unreasonable to drag a long tape across one of these often deep depressions … the tape “sag” would be too great … and it would also require me to trample a lot of native vegetation, of which many plants are quite rare or endangered. What will be done is to sight from the edge of the sinkhole to a tree on the other side. Accuracy in not that important … so, distance with an accuracy of 1-2 yards is just fine. I will do a calibration before going out: tamping off a number of posts, poles trees, etc. on my street where I have a clear view … and noting how much the device gives a reading that varies from the true taped distance. This rangefinder is probably just fine for hunters … however, golfers would probably do best to just play golf and learn how to estimate distances … there is no way that most folks could hold any rangefinder steady enough on a flag/pin to get the acurracy they need. Besides, it is not sporting … unless you just want to learn how to use your various clubs and assess the force of your swing that you might need. PS … I paid $115 for mine, including shipping .. so, look around. it was sold by a vendor associated with Amazon … I love Amazon!
