Review on ๐ŸŒ๏ธ BUSHNELL GOLF Tour V5 Patriot Pack: Enhanced Accuracy & Versatility in Sleek Black Design by Punk Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent rangefinder - reliable compared to Nikon

I bought a Bushnell Tour V5 after returning the stabilized Nikon Coolshot Pro rangefinder. The Nikon rangefinder was small, very light and didn't seem reliable to me. It worked well, I particularly liked the image stabilization, but I wasn't sure about the durability. I bought the Tour V5 instead because I read that it has improved looks over the previous model and adds a visual punch to the vibration boost. The device feels much more solid, is a good weight, has a nice rubberized body and feels very comfortable in my hand. The viewfinder is 6x magnification like Nikon's and appears to be just as bright. Because the Tour V5 is heavier and feels good in my hand, I have no problem shaking hands and can aim at a flag or other landmark. I also prefer the Tour V5's visual and vibrating pressure over the Nikon's visual target indicator. I also really like the bite magnet on the device. It's very convenient when you ride a trolley. I bought the Tour V5 without the tilt function because I've never used it on a Nikon. Other reviews have mentioned issues with Push not working. The instructions state that the push will only activate when there are multiple objects in range. If the flag is in sight and there are no other targets behind it, the jab doesn't work. The reading shown without a shot is the reading to the target. Overall I am very happy with the Bushnell Tour V5 and would prefer it to the Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized. If possible, I recommend trying both at your local store before you buy, so you can decide for yourself.
