Bushnell V3 vs Z6 or Tour X

ahgilbert1030 · September 16, 2015

I recently won a V3 in a tournament, I had been looking at purchasing a bushnell and was leaning towards Z6 or maybe tour x. My question is would you stick with the V3 or would there be a noticeable difference between it and the Z6. I looked at the Tour X simply because I think having the slope during practice rounds would be beneficial but at best it would be another $200 after trade in. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's free so stick with it. I have the Z6 which is a great unit. The Z6 is waterproof which comes in handy when playing in drizzles. I'm not sure if the V3 is also. That would be my only concern.

I have a V3. No complaints at all. I've several others before it and it so far is the best. The jolt feature is really nice.

I wanted the V3 but they were out of stock. I ended up getting the z6 jolt! I love it and my buddies that have the V3 prefer it. The red accent light and longer vision work beautifully. Worth the extra 150 hmm that's up to you

Just bought my 8 year old the V3 Patriot pack. So easy for him to use. The vibrate feature is great. I'm almost tempted to trade him for my Leupold Gx3i. Nah!

I have a GX3i and my friend has a Z6 and another has the V3. They all do the job. I like my GX3i because of the size and the bright red numbers (Z6 also has this) compared to the V3 being grey. The red makes it easier to see during bright days.

I had the V3 which I traded for the Z6 jolt. Looking back if I had known better I would have kept the V3. My Z6 got stolen out of my bag as I went inside to grab a drink and my wife surprised me with the tour x. While the tour x is a good device at times I find it hard to lock in on a target and the slope feature is at times misleading. I enjoy using it but there are times where I think back and wish I would have kept the V3. I thought about trading my tour x in but since it was a gift from the wife I am keeping it and continue using it and adjust as necessary.
