Answer 6 quick questions to decide whether your Tour V5 still makes sense, or whether A1-Slope or Tour V7 Shift solves a meaningful ownership problem.
The right upgrade depends on whether you have a real ownership problem or simply see newer models.
A1-Slope and Tour V7 Shift solve different problems: compact rechargeable simplicity versus premium Tour-series visibility/features.
Your existing V5 already has a capable Bushnell laser/JOLT foundation; upgrade only for a meaningful user-experience change.
A1-Slope is much smaller/rechargeable; Tour V7 Shift keeps a premium replaceable-battery Tour architecture.
The best path should fit both your competition routine and your tolerance for keeping legacy gear.
If neither current model solves a meaningful problem, keeping a working V5 is a valid result.
Keep your Tour V5 when it remains accurate/reliable and neither compact rechargeable ownership nor the V7 premium display/feature delta solves a meaningful problem.
Upgrade to A1-Slope when your main improvement is a dramatically smaller/lightweight current Bushnell with USB-C, slope capability and compact cart/pocket ownership.
Upgrade to Tour V7 Shift when you want a current premium Tour-series replacement with red/green OLED, Visual JOLT, Yardage Range Recall, LINK-enabled architecture and familiar high-end Bushnell laser ergonomics.
