Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Review
Note: the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 has been discontinued and replaced by the Bushnell Pro 1600 (also the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 with Slope has been replaced by the Bushnell Pro 1600 Slope).
The world’s number one golfer, Tiger Woods has often said the primary trick to successful golf is being pin high. The biggest difference between professional and amateur golfers is the confidence they experience in their approach shots. With the assistance of a laser range finder duffers now have the power to understand the distance and hit their irons with the same control as a professional golfer.
This Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 review will present you a general outline of this golf laser rangefinder and describe its benefits and talk about the results that other amateur golfers have found using the Pinseeker tournament edition on the course.
Very similar to the Busnell Pinseeker 1500 Slope edition; our research from Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 reviews established that the 1500 was a very well loved tool, the non-slope edition is the tournament sanctioned and handicap approved edition of the Slope. Therefore the pitch measuring tools are absent as they would be in breach of the local rules of tourney and handicapping for the sport.
Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Review of Features
Bulls Eye Mode: Evaluates the yardage to the object directly in the cross hairs. With the potent 7x optical enlargement, bulls-eye will be the best aiming method.
Brush: De-emphasizes foreground obstacles like tree branches, or bushes when pointing the green farther down the hole.
PinSeeker: Allows careful discerning pointing approaches: avoid the possibility of capturing background targets. When more than one object is in the target the closer object will be read. This mode is valuable for not having your distance readings fouled up by shrubs or other objects down the line of the flagstick.
Scan: This mode can continuously update yardage readings while you look over the hole with the laser range finder. Great for determining on the minimum distance to carry over obstacles.

The following are testimonials from real Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Tournament buyers:

“I have also used a SkyCaddie but was annoyed at having to pay a yearly fee for yardage data (common with golf GPS) so I thought the Bushnell could be just what the doctor ordered. It hasn’t let me down.”
