Anyone have experience with a Bozily range finder? Wife bought it for me for Father's Day and it costs about $125, so as long as it works decent I'll be tickled pink with it. I'm not a pro golfer by any stretch of the word, so I don't need a $350 Bushnell, but I also don't want a POS. If it turns out this one is shite and I return it, what are some other affordable recommendations?

This one is $219, has worked great for me. Love the slope adjustment.

I’m gonna use it at Sedona Golf Resort in a couple of hours…

Nice, looks like a gorgeous course! The Bozily supposedly has the slope adjustment as well, so I hope it works like it's supposed to

Precision Pro if you're looking for a quality rangefinder at a discount

Would not advise doing this.


It seems to get mostly positive reviews on Amazon.

Blue Tees

Sorry, but this range finder is VERY disappointing and unreliable. I did the review for P.I.G., and it was off so much, I had to send the first one back. Second one was better but, still inconsistent.

Blue Tees Review


The President reached out to me and informed me that they had production issues and the second generation would be better.

BOTTOM LINE ... I have lost trust in them.

I'm happy it works for you, but I'd look elsewhere. There are other brands that tested better for the same price point.

Just got it in today, looks like it’s working fine around the house.
Going test it on a round of golf tomorrow!

I got the CaddyTek from Costco and it’s been great.

I did a good bit of research and settled on this one. It was highly rated as a budget rangefinder. If you really want a good one, this is it. If you want an excellent one, get a bushnell pro xe.

I've got a tectectec

It's giving me issues. Doesn't lock on very well and seems to be off as much as 30 yards at times..

This is my second tectectec and the first one didn't seem to do this as much.

It works. It was just frustrating to have different yardages than my buddies and their Bushnell's. If its only 2-3 yards off, that is probably not a deal breaker. My first test model was WAY off. 5-10 yards.
I still use the second one they sent. It's inconsistent, but not off enough to make club selection an issue. Enjoy.

My old yellow Callaway rangefinder with Nikon optics is well over 10 years old and it is still right on the money when I check it against Bushnells.

It has Pinseeker technology and it locks on easily.

I've got a Leupold that was less than $200 a few years ago. Doesn't have the pin seeker or slope, but works well enough. I get jealous of the Bushnells that lock on the stick, but not enough to shell out $400.

Change the battery. I had the same problem with my tectectec and a new battery fixed it. Mine was 6 or 7 years old and starting to fall apart. No complaints as I got my money’s worth out of it. I ordered a precision pro for Father’s Day that just came in today and it seems nice

I'll try that, but it hasn't worked very well ever. Got it for Christmas last year.

I’ve got the exact same one. I’ve been waiting for it to die, but it just keeps on keeping on. It’s 11 years old.

I had a Blue Tees and it was consistently off vs. Bushnells and then it just stopped working.

I got a precision pro recently and have no complaints. It’s fast, buzzes when if locks on the flag and it does have slope, but that’s not really an issue in South Louisiana. It gives me the exact same yardage as my buddies’ bushnells

I have this one as well and have been happy with it for 2 years or so. never been more than a yard off of other rangefinders in our group.

Used it yesterday and played with a fella that had a Bushnell and we were dead on with each other. Accuracy seems to be there, now I'll just have to see how long it lasts to deem it as a good buy or not lol. But seriously using it just once, right there with the Bushnell, I am happy as a lark with it and especially with it only costing $100
