Shot Scope’s PRO L2 Laser Rangefinder
Is a Sure Shot

By Leigh MacKay

As the holiday season approaches, Shot Scope brings tidings of comfort and joy to all golfers who want to improve their games. With its Black November sale, Shot Scope, whose motto is “Know your game,” has enticing prices on laser rangefinders, golf watches, and performance tracking products.

I have always been a laser rangefinder aficionado myself and jumped at owning the PRO L2, one of the company’s most solid and affordable options. The MSRP is usually $149.99, but it is currently on sale on the website for $129.99. This modest levy not only belies the consummate performance of the PRO L2 with its advanced features and but also heightens its desirability.
For the money, this laser rangefinder cannot be beat.

Yardages will not be a subject for debate as the PRO L2, with its x6 zoom magnification, is accurate to one yard and has a range up to 700 yards. Press the power button once to activate it, and then hold the power button down while aiming at the flag (or another target). With what is called its “rapid-fire detection,” the laser will vibrate when it has locked onto the target and will reveal the distance, in your choice of either yards or meters, on the LCD display inside the lens.

A superior feature is the “adaptive slope technology,” which helps to insure better club selection. With a flick of the “S” switch on the front left side, the PRO L2 will determine the compensated distance based on the hole’s uphill or downhill gradation. For example, as explained in the easy-to-follow instruction manual, a 156-yard uphill shot of 7 degrees actually plays as 176 yards. The “S” switch will reveal a green swatch when the slope is turned on, and the PRO L2 is perfectly legal for tournament play when this slope mode is disabled.

Another feature is the adjustable focus of the eyepiece. Rotating the ring left or right to suit your eye preference will make the target crystal clear. Also, if you just want to find a quick distance (but not a lock on a target) to any object on the course, you use the “scan mode” and press the power button once, aim at the object, then press the power button again and release it. The precision-clear lens is made of hardened mineral glass and is fully multi-coated.

The PRO L2 is compact at 4.13 inches long, 1.57 inches wide, and 2.95 inches deep. It weighs 7.6 ounces, the construction is water resistant, and the durable carry case is waterproof. An extra-strong, built-in magnet on the right side securely adheres to the golf cart and any other magnetic surface. The magnet will keep the rangefinder immovable and intact over the bumpiest terrain or at the hands of an all-terrain driver. Should you carry your bag or push a cart, the included carabiner (carry clip) will attach to your golf bag.

The CR2-3V battery is included and should last for approximately 5,800 measures. A lens cleaning cloth completes the PRO L2 package. Shot Scope guarantees the rangefinder with a two-year limited warranty.

I have made excellent use of my PRO L2 and cannot blame any of my game’s inadequacies on incorrect yardage. It is a remarkable laser rangefinder at a remarkable price. You might want to think about treating yourself and another golfer on your gift list. After all, ‘tis the season to be jolly and generous.
