Q1: How do you use the distance graph you see when you look with the scope?
A: you will want to estimate the size of what you are looking at, and multiply it by teh number of bars it takes up on the graph to get an estimated range.
Q2: Your instructions make absolutely no sense. If I look into the lens of the Golf Finder, there appears a line graph. Your instructions call for multiplication to be done. Please clarify. Thank You
A: Sorry that Barska's Golf Scope Instructions are causing confusion. Unfortunately, we at Binoculars.com can't rewrite the instructions for the manufacturer. You only have to multiply if you can't see the base of the pin on the green. If you CAN see the base of the pin, just align the bottom line on the "graph" with the surface of the green (this line is marked "GREEN"), then read the distance according to how far up the scale the top of the flag is. If the green is is 50 yards away, the flag will reach to the top of the scale; if it's 300 yards away, it will only reach to the first line above the "GREEN" line on the scale. Suppose, though, that you can't see the entire flag stick, but you CAN see the flag and four of the red and white bands on the flag stick itself. Put the line in the graph marked "GREEN" on the bottom of the lowest stripe you can see (in this case, the bottom of stripe 4)and check the yardage at the top of the flag. Multiply the yardage shown by the number of bands you can see and divide by 8 (since there are 8 bands on a regulation flag stick) to get the result. In our example, if the yardage shown is 300, multiply that by 4, which is the number of bands you can see, to get 1200, then divide by 8 to get 150. That, then is the true distance to the pin. The key to figuring this all out is to remember that each red or white band on the flag stick is 1/8 of the height of the stick. That means if you can see 4 bands, you're only seeing 1/2 the stick's actual height. If you can see 3 bands, you're seeing 3/8 of the stick's height, etc.
