What is the difference between golf and hunting range finders?

would it be good to use a golf range finder for hunting because they are so much cheaper to buy?|||I don't have a range finder yet, but I have been looking. It looks like golf ones only go to about 200 yds on a non-reflective target and about 450 on a reflective target. If you only need to measure that distance, go for it. I an really looking for one that will measure 600-800 yds on a non-reflective target. Those get expensive. All of the rifles that we use you can hold straight on at up to 250 yds and I can guess close enough out to 400 yds or so.|||Golf range finders are cheaper sometimes because they cheat on the quality. They use the standard flag to help gauge distance. They are also heavily reliant on reflective targets. Hunting range finders are often used on nonreflective targets and have irregular objects to range.
