posted by ZoltanCurious if you are always playing the same course? I have found 18 birdies to be accurate at some courses but way off at other courses, especially if tee boxes have been moved, holes changed, etc. You can get a good range finder these days for $130 - $150.
I have used it Mostly in Columbus oh over the last 2 years I have used it at. Northstar, both OSU Gray and Scarlet, Bent Tree, New Albany Links, Marysville, Royal American, The Lakes, Pinnacle, and probably a few others. I would say 100 percent of the time im playing with someone who uses the shooter but i haven't found a big enough difference to warrant the extra expense and frankly its easier to just look at my wrist. I dont always trust that they are always shooting right at the flag, but both seem to be accurate if they are used correctly.
