The Tour V2 displays the distance to your target on the LCD readout. |
PinSeeker Technology A game of inches becomes a game of yards if your rangefinder gives false readings. The problem with most ranging devices is that the target is constantly competing with the larger objects that surround it. These larger objects, such as trees, contain greater signal strength and provide more reflectivity than the target, resulting in false distance readings. So what are you really aiming at? To overcome these limitations, Bushnell created PinSeeker technology, which ensures accurate target acquisitions by isolating your target and completely shutting out background hazards. When your rangefinder senses more than one object, the closer of the two is displayed so that the desired distance is calculated every time within plus or minus 1 yard.
Bushnell's laser rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 laser beam (as classified by the FDA), which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Next, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for the laser to reach the target and return to the unit. Finally, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed.
The rangefinder's Slope mode reads the slope angle and adjusts your club length accordingly. |
Targeting Modes The Tour V2 offers three targeting modes. PinSeeker mode is designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, allowing you to easily acquire the flag without inadvertently capturing background target distances. The Scan mode, meanwhile, allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. And golfers can use the Slope mode to measure the angle within plus or minus 1 degree. The rangefinder will then compensate the distance based upon the ball trajectory and type of club used.
Other features include a reticle option that shows the distance of targets in the crosshairs, a 5x magnification level, a 3-volt lithium battery, a battery indicator that flashes when the battery is low, and a custom high-tack grip that rivals the grip on your favorite driver. The Tour V2 carries a two-year warranty.
