Editing Laser rangefinder (section)

===Sports===
Laser rangefinders may be effectively used in various sports that require precision distance measurement, such as [[golf]], [[hunting]], and [[archery]].  Some of the more popular manufacturers are Caddytalk, Opti-logic Corporation, Bushnell, Leupold, LaserTechnology, Trimble, Leica, Newcon Optik, Op. Electronics, [[Nikon]], Swarovski Optik and [[Carl Zeiss AG|Zeiss]].
Many rangefinders from Bushnell come with advanced features, such as ARC (angle range compensation), multi-distance ability, slope, JOLT (Vibrate when the target is locked), and Pin-Seeking. ARC can be calculated by hand using the [[rifleman's rule]], but it's usually much easier if you let a rangefinder do it when you are out hunting. In golfing where time is most important, a laser rangefinder comes useful in locating distance to the flag. However not all features are 100% legal for golf tournament play.<ref>[https://simplyhealthfitness.com/is-my-rangefinder-legal-for-a-tournament/ Are golf rangefinders legal for tournament play?]</ref> Many hunters in the eastern U.S. don't need a rangefinder, although many western hunters need them, due to longer shooting distances and more open spaces.
