The QuickShot manual claims the ability to obtain measurements to flagsticks equipped with a Laser Link prism at up to 375 yards, a shorter total distance than the maximum claims of other rangefinders. If the QuickShot hasn’t acquired the prism, the laser will continue to fire for up to 10 seconds after the user releases the trigger.įor more details, check out the Critical Golf comparison of laser rangefinder features.
The QuickShot will continue to fire the laser and display the firing dot as long as the trigger button is held, but will stop displaying an acquired distance on the LCD (and turn off the red aiming dot) after approximately four seconds. A shame that there isn’t a vibrate mode for confirmation, as there is with the Red Hot. Players can modify the LCD readings between yards and meters, and can also choose whether to hear an audible beep to confirm a target lock. The same button can be used to change the preference settings, which requires holding down the trigger button for about a minute – this struck us as unnecessarily long (if you are scanning for a reflective prism on a flagstick for more than 10 seconds, something has gone wrong).
The device has just one button that, when pressed with the trigger finger, fires the laser and displays the red aiming dot in the viewfinder. The Laser Link QuickShot is a basic device (not necessarily a bad thing), with a limited feature set. When the battery runs low on power, a low battery indicator icon appears on the LCD display.įor more details, check out the Critical Golf comparison of laser rangefinder ease of use. The Laser Link QuickShot takes one 9-volt alkaline battery. The device is easy to grip, with a hard silver plastic exterior. The device is average in size and weight versus the competition, and comes with a carry case with clip to attach to a bag or cart. We found this often created a slight delay in play as we were left waiting to evaluate our next shot. Keep in mind that since the QuickShot can only read distances to a reflective prism, once the group in front of you pulls the flagstick, you won’t be able to get a distance reading until they replace it. Assuming the sound is on, the QuickShot will beep twice to indicate it has locked onto its target. The viewfinder is slightly darker than the view with the naked eye, so on cloudy day or against dark backgrounds, dark flags (blue or red) can be difficult to see. While we noted this as a major limitation for the Laser Link Red Hot, it really isn’t a problem here since the QuickShot will only be used to target reflective prisms. The Laser Link QuickShot is one of the few laser rangefinders that lack viewfinder magnification (the others being the Laser Link Red Hot and the Opti-Logic family of devices). The QuickShot is designed to be held like a pistol, using the red alignment dot in the viewfinder to target the flagstick, with distance readings displayed on an LCD screen on the body of the device rather than within the viewfinder.
