How well do these work from say 200 yards? The reason I ask is because my cousin has been using one that his brother bought for hunting and once you get over 150 yards or so, it becomes almost impossible to get a reading.

They are accurate to within a yard up to around 300 yards. The golf ones seek out the pin for you. Visit the nikon website where there is a great video demonstration.

That said I haven't used either myself as yet.

Okay, that makes more sense than the one he was using. Thanks, I'll check out the website. I currently have a Skycaddie but my subscription is up for renewal and I was thinking about going to a laser now.

i almost bought a hunting one, but after a tonne of reading, the pinseeker tool was key
need a steady hand and without pin seeker i think it would be tough over 150 yds out

i have no problem reading a 230yd pin
anything over that and im not "pinseeking", i just wanna hit the damn green~~!! hahah!

Go test them in the Store? See which you like better.

I just switched from the Bushnell Yardage Pro to the Nikon Callaway LR550. Both are 6X however the Nikon finds the target sooo much faster and the readout is much easier to see.

Anyway I've just ordered a busnell medalist on ebay and since noone outbid me I ended up with a tour v2 also. So I can test both and sell one on.

I have used the V2 for a few rounds and just love it. From the tee I can hit bunkers, trees, landing areas, flags, etc. The pinseeker mode makes it easier. I have used it on the range for wedge shots and was able to get really good readings and from the fairway I can measure my drives by aiming at the ball washer or nearby tree.
