I get a flashing lightning bolt and no distance. Soooo disappointing! Useless. I’ve had it on the course twice now with the same terrible result. Doesn’t work.

Kelly,

Per the manual, the lightning bolt indicates that it’s measuring, for whatever that’s worth. There aren’t really any settings that should impact whether or not it produces a number. Is there a scenario where it works well?

Tried emailing them but comes back as undeliverable.

Ease of use is outstanding, Accuracy is ± 1 yard compared to other manufacturers. I rarely play in tournaments, so I keep the Slope feature on which helps me improve my game.
The only downside for me has been the magnet. It has once fallen off the cart and from the belt clip. I am grateful to the honest person who found it and turned it into the Pro Shop where I was playing.

Thanks for clearing that up Matt, I think I’ll give one a go.

James,

That is not the case. With the slope switch off, the only thing that is displayed is the straight line distance.

Can you confirm if this is the case?

Donald,

I like the feel of the REDTIGER a bit more, the case is a little more comfortable to me.

Best,

Matt

Mike,

The optics are fine. I can’t say that I’ve ever found the optics – outside of magnification – to be a major plus or minus for any rangefinder.
