GoGoGo Laser Range Finder Review and Testing, Does It Work As Advertised?

Published on March 6, 2020
Duration: 15:58

This review tests the GoGoGo laser rangefinder, assessing its accuracy and practical range for various applications. While performing well on reflective targets up to 300 yards with +/- a few yards of variation, its effectiveness diminishes significantly beyond 400 yards, especially on non-reflective or obstructed surfaces. The reviewer notes its precision to the tenth of a yard is misleading given its +/- one-yard accuracy, suggesting it's better suited for golfing or zeroing rifles rather than extended long-range shooting.

Quick Summary

The GoGoGo laser rangefinder offers good accuracy on reflective targets up to 300 yards, with readings typically within one yard of the actual distance. However, its practical range is limited to around 400 yards, and it struggles with non-reflective or obstructed targets, making it more suitable for golfing or basic rifle zeroing than extended long-range shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the practical range of the GoGoGo laser rangefinder?

The GoGoGo laser rangefinder's practical range is limited to about 300-400 yards for reliable measurements. While advertised for longer distances, performance significantly degrades on non-reflective or obstructed targets beyond this point.

How accurate is the GoGoGo laser rangefinder?

The GoGoGo laser rangefinder has an advertised accuracy of plus or minus one yard. In testing, it performed very well on reflective targets up to 300 yards, often within a yard of the measured distance, but accuracy decreases with distance and target type.

What are the limitations of the GoGoGo laser rangefinder?

The main limitations are its reduced performance beyond 400 yards, difficulty acquiring non-reflective or obstructed targets, and a misleading precision display to the tenth of a yard when its actual accuracy is +/- one yard.

Is the GoGoGo laser rangefinder suitable for long-range shooting?

No, the GoGoGo laser rangefinder is generally not recommended for serious long-range shooting. Its practical range is limited to around 300-400 yards, making it more suitable for golfing, hunting at moderate distances, or basic rifle zeroing.
