Congratulations on your purChase of the Bushnell® tour V2™ with
pinseeker™ teChnology.
The TOUR V2 is a precision Laser Rangefinding optical instrument
designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance
by explaining its adjustments and features as well as how to care for this precise laser rangefinding
optical instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before
using your TOUR V2.
introDuCtion
Your Bushnell® TOUR V2 is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of Digital Technology
allowing range readings from 5-1000 yards / 5-914 meters. Measuring a mere 1.6 x 2.8 x 4.3 inches,
the 6.6 ounce delivers superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The TOUR V2 features
Selective Targeting™ Modes, 5x magnification, and multi-coated optics for excellent light transmission,
clarity, and brightness.
how our Digital teChnology works
The TOUR V2 emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The TOUR V2’s Advanced Digital
microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and
accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by
measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
ranging aCCuraCy
The ranging accuracy of the TOUR V2 is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for
most objects is 600 yards / 549 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards /
914 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective
properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object
is being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the
color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color
black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target
is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a
target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted
energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In
addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit.
The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny
days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.
