Don't let the shot of a lifetime hinge on a guess. With the Yardage Pro Sport 450, you'll be confident to the last yard. Affordable and simple to use, the Sport 450 offers a ranging performance of 5 to 999 yards, so you can accurately learn the distance to the pin, a nearby hazard, or a deer down the way. The rangefinder is also accurate to within a yard even if you're measuring in rain or snow or through foreground clutter like brush and branches. And the Sport 450 is a breeze to use thanks to the simple one-button operation. Equipped with a slim, weather-resistant body that stands up to moist conditions, the Yardage Pro is used by more than 600 touring pros, including 18 of the to 20 money winners on the PGA Tour. 
The Sport 450 makes it easy to determine the range to the pin. |
How a Laser Rangefinder Works
Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 laser beam (as classified by the FDA), which is "bounced" off distant objects at the press of a button. In the process, the rangefinder uses a high-speed digital clock to measure the time it took for the laser beam to reach the target and return, and then calculates the distance within plus-or-minus 1 yard. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button and the time the exact range appears. The information appears on the Sport 450's through-the-lens LCD display. Because rangefinders bounce laser beams off targets in order to take measurements, their range is partially determined by the target's reflectivity. So distances to reflective or "hard" targets like rock cliffs and semis can be measured from farther away than those to soft-surface targets such as deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By pre-measuring ranges to spots where trophies are likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives. Specifications:
