Bushnell GPS Hybrid, inconsistent yardage

moolman · June 17, 2018

Hi all,

I have the Bushnell Tour X and recently got the Bushnell GPS Hybrid.

I played my 3rd round with the GPS Hybrid and it doesn't shoot distances correctly. I need to shoot at the flag at least 2-3 times before it picks it up. Sometimes from 200+ yards out, it won't pick up the flag and instead the background. I go back to the Tour X and it picks up the distance immediately. Some other posts seem to suggest there's an issue. Anybody seen this before?

Just returned my Father’s Day present today. Same issues

Range finder would not pickup flag

GPS would lose connection frequently

Weird yardage’s

Not sure what I’m going to get?

Yep I had the same issues and returned mine for a leupold.

The hybrid is a good idea, but highly innacurate/slow.

Found the Hybrid to be unreliable and poor battery life, seems like the new version is no better than the one they had years ago.

Wanted to report back. I exchanged the unit for a brand new one, a higher serial number so I assume made later in the factory.

Same issue. I'm comparing side by side to my old Bushnell Tour X. I pull out the hybrid and I might have to shoot a flag, 3 or 4 times and it sometimes doesn't jolt. Pull out the Tour X, one shot, Jolt, picks up the distance instantly. I'm aiming at the same spot on the flag.

2 different devices. Do not buy this thing.

I had the same issues as well, but mine fell out of the cart and is now even worse. I doubt I could return it at this point because of it falling out of the cart and it's very visible that it's hit concrete. It was a waste of money to buy. I was 3-5 yards off other range finders at least half the time.
