GS24 Golf & Hunting Laser Rangefinder 7X Magnification - Vpro

In this review of the GS24 rangefinder the bottom line is simple: this is a budget-minded tool that gives golfers, hunters and bowhunters most of the advanced measuring features found on pricier units. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of 7x magnification and long measuring range up to 1200 yards, which covers most on-course and field needs while including tournament-legal options for slope. It is especially compelling for players who want modern functions without a steep price premium.

Key Features

• Wide measuring range: Measures distances from 5 to 1200 yards so it handles short approaches and long drives or shots in the field.
• High precision: Claims +/- 0.1m accuracy, offering tight readings for club selection or range estimation when conditions are stable.
• Flagpole-locking vibration: The unit vibrates when it locks on a flag, helping confirm pin-seeks without second-guessing the display.
• Multiple targeting modes: Includes continuous scan readings, Pin-Seeking and ARC angle compensation for both golf and hunting situations.
• MTL tournament-legal option: The MTL version has a slope switch to disable slope and a magnetic mount for versatility on carts or gear.

Who It's For

The GS24 is best for golfers and hunters who want a value-oriented rangefinder with modern features like slope compensation, continuous scan and flagpole vibration. It fits weekend golfers, most hunting trips and bowhunters who need reliable distance reads without paying for premium optics.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who demand absolute top-tier consistency every single shot in extreme conditions or who require specialised ballistic computations beyond ARC; some buyers reported mixed results in variable scenarios, so serious tournament players or long-range precision shooters may prefer a higher-end model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong feature set for the price, including slope, ARC and continuous scan modes.
• 7x magnification and a long 1200 yard range cover most course and hunting needs.
• Flagpole-lock vibration makes locking on a pin easier and more confident.
• MTL version offers a slope-off switch for tournament use and a magnetic mount for convenience.

Cons

• Some users report inconsistent readings in difficult light or on distant targets, so accuracy can be mixed in real-world use.
• Battery life and lockability receive mixed feedback, so heavy daily users should monitor performance.
