Is the Bushnell V5 waterproof? Yes, the Bushnell V5 is rainproof.

Bushnell Tour V5 Dance Commercial Also available in Tour V5 Shift featuring our patented Slope Technology that provides golfers the most precise compensated distances in golf.

The Tour V5 features PinSeeker™ technology with JOLT, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly “zero” in on the flag without acquiring background targets, and superb optical quality. JOLT has been advanced with the all new “Visual JOLT.” A red ring now flashes as JOLT vibrates to give the golfer even greater feedback ...

And actually will add 10 to 15 yards to the shot which is a full Club. So the slope. Technology is incredible technology from Bushnell Golf.

Use a good quality 3-volt lithium battery (CR2). Insert into the compartment with the negative (flat) end first (positive end facing out towards the battery cover). We recommend replacing the battery at least once every six months.

While looking through the Tour V5, depress the Power/Fire button once to activate the display. If the display icons and numbers are blurry, rotate the eyepiece in either direction until they are in focus (see “Adjusting the Eyepiece” below).

The key difference between the two rangefinders surrounds slope technology. The Tour V5 Shift features all of the same specifications as the Tour V5, but comes with a new and improved slope algorithm to adjust for today's ball flights, and slope switch technology to allow you to turn it on and off at leisure.

If you're willing to spend the extra money, I think the $400 Tour V5 Shift is probably the best all-around rangefinder out there. If the slope features are important to you, and you have the budget, then that is a device that will last you years – and be enjoyable to use in the process.

In golf, slope has two meanings. It's a rating system that indicates the difficulty of a set of tees, and it's a rangefinder's ability to account for inclines and declines. The second meaning is the one you want to focus on. With most rangefinders and GPS-based apps, you only get line-of-sight readings.

I can just shoot it I laser it I'm standing on the first tee with the Bushnell. I'm sitting there shooting boom. It's one 52 to the front edge of the bunker bunkers.

CR2 Use a good quality 3 -volt lithium battery (CR2).

How do I clean my Tour V5 golf rangefinder?

1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with the supplied micro-fiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion.

Power the unit on by pressing the power /Fire button once. Rotate the eyepiece in either direction until the display icons and numbers are in focus.

A golf rangefinder will accurately measure the distance between you and the hole. That will eliminate some of the guessing work required to determine how you should hit the ball. You can also use the measurement to help gauge and improve your skills.

Percent of slope is determined by dividing the amount of elevation change by the amount of horizontal distance covered (sometimes referred to as "the rise divided by the run"), and then multiplying the result by 100.
