Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Overview 
The Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder is in the lower range of the Bushnell laser rangefinders and has been very popular among golfers that want a cheap, jet reliable, golf rangefinder compared to the more expensive Bushnell Tour V2 and Bushnell Hybrid Rangefinders.
Magnification: The Bushnell Medalist has 4x magnification which is not as strong as the Tour V2 which has 5x magnification but 4x is not to bad and will function very well in most ranges.
Range: Can measure range from 5 to 1,000 yards. If you want to find the flag you might have go down to 250 yards depending on the condition and slope. During our test we found the flag without problems at 300 yards under perfect conditions but once there was a slope and the weather became any thing other than perfect the range went down to 280.
Battery: This is a strong point for the Medalist as compared to the Bushnell Tour V2 which has had its issues with battery life of the 3V. The Bushnell Medalist uses a 9V replaceable batteries that you can buy anywhere and are cheaper than the 3V. Just remember to have a spare pack of batteries with you when you take the Medalist to the course.
Accuracy: The Medalist is very accurate but it tends to be slower than the Bushnell Tour V2 and the Bushnell Hybrid. It is not as compact either but when it comes to function and accuracy it delivers. When we compared the measures of all three they all showed the same measures within 1 -/+ yards. The great built-in PinSeeker technology shows its true worth and finds the flag under most difficult circumstances as long as you are within 250 yards from the flag.
Orientation: The Medalist is used horizontally while the Tour V2 is used vertically. Which one is better is a matter of personal preference.
Measures: The Bushnell Medalist wights only 9 ounces and is therefore very light and fits well in your hand.
Warranty: Comes with a standard 2-year warranty.
Screen: Has a LCD screen that show either meters or yards.
Tournament play: Yes, the Bushnell Medalist is legal for tournament play.
Point and Shoot
The Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder does have the three modes which it uses to find the targets under any environment or condition on the golf course.
Scan: This is a basic feature which allows you to scan the course while getting instant reading of measures on the LCD screen.
Rain: This is a great feature and a big plus for the Medalist as it allows you to scan and get a reading even through rain and snow.
Reflector: This mode can be used when there are objects on the course that are far away but are very reflective. This will thus allow you to increase the yardage which you can measure those objects from.
Pinseeker: Finding the pin or the flag is very fast and easy.
The Medalist functions are somewhat limited to
