Bushnell Range Finders: From An Award Winning American Company
Bushnell Range finders are well known amongst the golfing and hunting set where accuracy and ease of use in the outdoors are prime considerations.
Bushnell Outdoor Products is an American company that has been around since late 1947, when David P. Bushnell founded it while spending time in allied occupied Japan. Originally, Bushnell outdoor products was more or less a mail order binocular company, but it has grown into a company with eleven brands and over fifteen product lines. These products include telescopes, night vision items, ski goggles, sunglasses, spotting scopes and much much more, that distributes in over 27 countries.
In the last decade the company has changed hands several times but still maintains it's high quality of outdoor optical equipment. So much so that awards of quality are no stranger to this all American conglomerate. Outdoor Life magazine bestowed the Editors choice award in 2007 for the Bushnell Elite 4200 rifle scope and another for the Browning Sports optics binoculars, which followed the one they were awarded for the Legend binoculars in 2006.
The first GPS systems to allow satellite imagery to be integrated into the display was created by Bushnell in 2006, as well as adding XM radio for real time weather information. Field and Stream Magazine awarded Bushnell the 'Best of the Best' award in 2007 for the Onix 400 GPS.
It's no wonder that with such a pedigree, Bushnell Range finders are considered to be at the forefront of their product range. Golfers and hunters know when they see something that works!
The Bushnell Yardage Pro is one such Range finder and it comes in a variety of editions. There is the Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation, there is the Yardage Pro sport 450 which is also available in two types of camouflage coverings, the Yardage Pro 800, the Yardage Pro Legend which is also waterproof, the Yardage Pro Scout, the Yardage Pro 1000, the Yardage Pro 1600 which is waterproof and fog proof and the Yardage Pro Elite which comes multi-coated, water proof and/or with a camouflage finish. So there are a number to choose from but the cream of the crop for a golfer is the Pinseeker.
This uses laser technology to bounce a beam from an object and then measure the time it takes to return. This timing is then translated into yards or meters as required. Of course the more reflective the target the more accurate the reading although the 'bounced' laser takes less than a second to travel back and forth. The Pinseeker measures ranges from 5 to 1500 yards and at the longest distance is reputedly within an accuracy of +/- one yard. It has a monocular with seven times magnification so you can accurately aim your range finder even in very low light conditions, say at dusk.
It weighs only 10 ounces and fits easily into your pocket and comes with a variety of modes that let you ignore brush or tree branches and take aim at the very base of the pin: at the cup itself! Oh yes, it also measures slope, by degrees of angle, while taking into consideration the golf balls trajectory and the type of club that is being used....yes really!
Waterproof, easy to use, small enough to carry and very accurate. Anyone I have talked to has said it has managed to improve their golf game considerably.
The Bushnell Yardage Pro Pinseeker 1500 with slope calculation...worth looking into.

How to Align Celestron 5 SE telescope?
Hi,
I've celestron NexStar 5 SE telescope. Whats the easiest way to align? are we supposed to get it aligned through the software celestron has provided or it has to be done manually using the remote control.
I've tried the second option but its very tedious to properly align the objects other than moon even when using the finder scope. Some guidance needed here to find out where am I going wrong. Thanks.
You use the handset according to the instructions. I strongly suggest that you read through the procedure twice, then go through it three times in your living room during daylight hours. Do not attempt it during your first use in the dark. It won't matter that you can't centre any objects when you do this during the day; all you're doing is getting used to the commands and buttons.
From what I've read (not knowing the Celestron system), you have to first input your city, etc. and probably only have to do this once, unless you use it more than a couple hundred kilometres from your normal site. Then the time, and whatever else you're asked for.
Ensure that the finder is aligned to the scope by centring an object in the scope, then adjusting the finder until it's centred there. Keep looking in the scope to ensure the object is centred as you fiddle the finder.
The procedure you should use is Sky Align. Use the direction buttons to find a bright star (or planet). Centre it on the red dot in the finder and press Enter. Then, centre it in the eyepiece of the scope as closely as possible and press Align.
Do this for 2 other bright objects. When it says it's successful, press Enter.
It's like using a new mobile phone. You think you'll never get it, but a few uses and you do it blindfolded. Later, you'll know some stars and be able to use the other methods which are quicker.
In case you don''t have it, the manual is on the link below. The align procedure is on p. 11.
