Managing Editor John VanDerLaan Sr. Testing The Bushnell Tour V6 Rangefinder
John Sr. is the Managing Editor here at golf advisor. He is a single digit handicap and plays golf at least three time a week. Here is what he said after testing the Bushnell Tour V6 and Tour V6 Shift Rangefinders for 30 days:
"I have tested numerous golf rangefinders and I always find myself coming back to the Bushnell Tour V6. It is fast, accurate, sticks to the golf cart with the built in magnet, and locks on the target every time. I have also tested the the Bushnell Tour V6 Shift and it performed flawlessly as well. The only difference between the V6 and V6 Shift is that the Shift has slope mode. Living in Southwest Florida, I find that I don't use the slope feature much, so I stick with the Tour V6."

Playing Professional Michael VanDerLaan Testing The Bushnell Tour V6 Rangefinder
Michael is a playing and teaching professional and he is on the golf course every single day. He has been using a Bushnell Tour V6 and the V6 Shift Rangefinders for the last 30 days. Here's what he had to say:
"I love the Bushnell Tour V6. It has all of the features that I need and none of the features I don't. The V6Shift is great as well, but as a playing professional, I would rather not have the slope mode option available. You never know when you could accidentally switch it to slope mode during a tournament, which would be unfortunate, so I stick with the V6. It has a bright readout, it is fast, reliable and extremely durable. I am rough on my equipment and the Tour V6 is now in year two of steady use."
