Leupold GX-3 Golf Rangefinder $399.95 2011 Leupold GX-3 Golf Rangefinder This is our flagship model a Leupold GX-3 Golf Rangefinder Instead of taking a one size fits all approach, Leupold has used over 100 years of experience in the optics and surveying industries to redefine golf rangefinders with a simple principle: customize them to the individual golfers needs. With Leupolds exclusive PinHunter laser technology, Prism Lock capability, Fog mode, and three selectable aiming reticles, the extremely compact and tournament legal GX-3 utilizes cutting edge micro-processing circuitry and an advanced infrared laser to accurately and consistently hunt down the pin in virtually any weather conditions. Prism Lock technology affords unmatched accuracy by using highly reflective prisms already incorporated into many course features and pins to obtain a high intensity return to your GX-3. With Prism Lock, holding the rangefinder steady becomes much less of a concern, and you can be assured your distance measurement is exact. Rugged, compact, and completely weatherproof, Leupold?s GX rangefinders are sure to shave strokes from your game. PinHunter Technology Try ranging a pin or fluttering flag from over 300 yards away! It’s not a problem for a GX golf rangefinder from one of the most premier range finder manufactures Leupold. When it comes to hunting down and ranging the pin, Leupold has a wealth of knowledge and experience. For the last century Leupold has been building precision optics for the most demanding of recreational, military, and commercial uses. Every GX golf rangefinder has been precisely calibrated to fire a laser beam exactly at the target in the crosshairs. The proprietary beam geometry improves laser returns from the pin and the advanced GX ii software accurately separates those returns from objects in the background. You can be sure the results you receive from the GX are the most precise available from any golf rangefinder on the market. Fog Mode Rain or shine, many golfers hit the links regardless of conditions, that’s why we desinged Fog Mode. Most rangefinders give measurements from the first target returned, which in some cases is the fog between you and the pin. Your GX will cut through the weather and provide fast and accurate measurements to get you on the green. Scan Mode The GX has scan mode when you want multiple readings in one quick sweep. Just hold down the power button and the display will continuously update with accurate line-of-site measurements.
