Introducing RangePal Flagstick Reflectors for Laser Rangefinders
|
|
Most can agree a laser rangefinder is the most accurate, simple and dependable
way of measuring distances. Governments and professional surveyors depend on the
technology to map the world. If it gets the job done for them, using the same
technology on the golf course is as good as it gets, but...

Are you a confused shopper, undecided how much to spend? Unclear of the
difference in a $400 and a $200 model?
|
|
Have you overheard a playing partner complain about difficulties reading the
target with their rangefinder? |
|
If you're a laser rangefinder owner, would you use it more often if it was more
reliable? |
|
Do you wish you owned a GPS and not a laser rangefinder?
|
| Fact: The target is the key!
Surveyors measure distance from point A to B using a reflective target, not a
flag. Even a low end laser rangefinder will work with a good reflective surface. |
|
|
Problem: Not all targets on golf courses
are good reflectors, the most important being flags and flagsticks. Flag
material, size, color and angle can cause target recognition problems for even
the most expensive laser rangefinder.
|
|
Solution: The new RangePal reflector. It
has a large surface area, is highly reflective, easily attached, made of tough,
impact resistant material and is the same principle used by professional
surveyors. |
RangePal features:
- Excellent "cooperative target".
- Durable, weather resistant and
- Easily slips on to any ½” diameter flagstick.
- Rubberized foam inside the barrel holds it in place.

Cooperative & Non-Cooperative Targets
A "cooperative target" has been enhanced to give a higher return signal to
the laser rangefinder receiver. This usually is accomplished by placing a
retro-reflective device or material on the target.
A "non-cooperative target" generally is regarded as a diffusely reflecting
object (such as a flag, flagstick, rock or tree). The term (non-cooperative) is
used because the target has not been prepared in advance to enhance the
reflected return of the transmitted beam.

| FAQs
|
|
Q Why can't I use reflective tape on the flagstick? Would this be the
same as the RangePal?
|
|
A Our larger reflective surface means quicker
target recognition. Holding the rangefinder steady is difficult under certain
circumstances and the more target surface available the faster you get a
distance reading. "Larger the target, easier to hit". Also, high grade
reflective tape isn't cheap and for a few extra bucks, you get a well designed,
maintenance free, quality target that lasts for years.
|
|
Q Your reflector looks like plastic pipe and tape. Why should I pay your
price for that?
|
|
A Good question, but it depends on you
perspective. "Is not the Mona Lisa but paint smeared on canvas?". Seriously,
there are a few other options but you'll find RangePal reflectors to be a
bargain by comparison.
|
|
|
Q Why should I purchase or recommend your reflectors instead of other
target or reflector options.
|
|
A Simple design, inexpensive, excellent
reflectivity, easily installed without tools, doesn't require special flagsticks
and works with any make or model laser rangefinder, guaranteed!
|
|
Q Why haven't all courses gone to this or other reflective targets on
flagsticks?
|
|
A Could be the lack of understanding of the
technology, the problem and the simple solution. If all laser rangefinder users
expose the problem, maybe more course managers would be interested in addressing
the issue.

Why get only "the front, center and back" approximate yardages with a GPS when
you can have the exact yardage to the pin with a laser rangefinder?
|
|
Many golf courses are now providing mirrors or reflectors on top of flag sticks
to make golfing with laser rangefinders much easier".
