How its range compares
Median is based on models with a published maximum range.
Median is based only on models with a published flag range.
6x is the median magnification in this dataset.
Practical golf takeaway
The 350 yd (320 m) flag range is the number that matters most on the course. It comfortably covers normal approach shots, while the 1300 yd (1189 m) maximum mainly shows the laser’s total reach.
What do these distances mean on the course?
This distance is within its published maximum range. It is within the published flag range. This is common wedge territory.
This distance is within its published maximum range. It is within the published flag range. This is a useful benchmark for longer approaches.
This distance is within its published maximum range. It is within the published flag range. This is a demanding pin-lock distance for most golfers.
Is the A1-Slope range good?
The Bushnell A1-Slope has 1300 yd (1189 m) of total published reach and 350 yd (320 m) of stated flag reach. That is a strong practical flag range for ordinary golf.
Real-world range factors
Strong points
- 350 yd (320 m) of published flag reach covers normal approach-shot distances well
- 1 yd (0.9 m) published accuracy meets the common golf-laser benchmark
- 6x magnification is at or above the dataset median
What can reduce real range
- Flagsticks are harder to range than large reflective objects
- Rain, haze, glare, target reflectivity and shaky hands can reduce practical ranging performance
What to watch
- Do not treat maximum range as the same thing as flag range
- For competition, use the model’s legal mode with slope disabled where the rules require it
