1. Golf range finders are great tools for golfing. They allow for an accurate measurement of the distance between an observer and a target, and make getting the perfect shot much easier.
2. Hunting range finders generally have sturdy construction and a no-slip grip. Some range finders are waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, making them useful even in inclement weather.
3. Range finders are available with a wide variety of features, such as a built-in compass, which is great for hunting, or slope compensation, which can be really useful on the golf course.
4. As with binoculars, a larger objective lens on your range finder means more light allowance and a brighter, clearer image. This is excellent for hunting in low light, but not ideal for golfing in broad daylight.
5. Laser range finders typically work by calculating the time it takes an expelled laser beam to refract back from a target to its source. The range finder uses that number to instantly calculate the target's distance.
6. Weather, surface slope, lighting, and the size of your target are all factors in determining distance. A good range finder will have features that can minimize these potential problems.
