I HAD 2 FOR OVER 4 YEARS.  I BOUGHT A SKYCADDIE SG4 INBETWEEN THE TWO BUSHNELL 1500 PINSEEKERS.  I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE 1500 WITH OR WITHOUT THE SLOPE.  THE CLARITY OF THE LENS RIVALS A TOP OF LINE BINOCULAR.  WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE UNIT THERE ARE BLACK SPECS ON THE LENS WHICH IS NORMAL, BUT SOON DISAPPEARS WITH USAGE.   I HAVE DROPPED THE 1500 ON CONCRETE OUT OF MY GOLF CART SEVERAL TIMES....SOME DINGS BUT IT PERFORMED WITHOUT A HITCH.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE BUSHNELL 1500 SERIES IS THE EASE OF USE  AND THE FLEXIBILITY TO VIEW ANYTHING ON THE COURSE...SOME THINGS THAT DO NOT SHOW ON A GPS UNIT.  I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE 7X26 POWER AND THE FLEXIBLE VIEW CUP THAT I USED IT TO SIGHT IN MY GUNS AND GO HOT HUNTING.

THE BULLSEYE IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE RANGE FINDERS AND MUCH EASIER TO USE AND GIVES YOU AN IMMEDIATE RANGE.   I DEMOED THE NIKON, LEICA AND ALL THE OTHERS AND THE BUSHNELL REALLY GIVES YOU MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK.

THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING THAT I SEE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE THE TARGET TO GET A RANGE, BUT A SOLUTION WOULD BE TO RANGE OTHER SIGNIFICANT ITEMS NEAR THE HOLE.  THE SLOPE FEATURE IS GODSEND AND HAVE LEGALLY USED THE 1500 IN LOCAL TOURNAMENTS.   UNLESS YOU ARE IN A USGA TOURNAMENT, IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE, BUT PREROUNDS, IT IS LEGAL.

I USE MY BUSHNELL 1500 PINSEEKER FOR MANY OTHER REASONS, SUCH AS ARCHERY,  SURVEYING MY MOUNTAIN PROPERTY BOUNDRYS ETC ETC.   IF YOU ARE CREATIVE, YOU WILL FIND MANY OTHER USES FOR THE BUSHNELL 1500 PINSEEKER.  YOU CAN GET SOME GREAT DEALS ON EBAY.   GIVE THEM A TRY, AND THEY KEEP GOING AND GOING AND GOING WITHOUT A BATTERY CHANGE, ONE 9 VOLT.
