Your CABELA’S VLR by BUSHNELL

®

 is a precision 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 instrument. To ensure optimal performance and 

longevity, please read these instructions before using your Cabela’s VLR. 

INTRODUCTION 

Your  CABELA’S  VLR  is  a  very  compact  advanced  laser  rangefinder.  Using  Digital  Technology  and 

measuring a mere 1.5x4x2.75 inches and weighing 6.8 ounces, the CABELA’S VLR delivers superb and 

accurate range performance to +/- one yard.  Range to a deer as far as 300 yards out or to a tree at 570 

yards away for a reference point.  The unique shape and palm size allows outdoor enthusiasts to easily 

grip the rangefinder with a single hand and drop it into a pocket when not in use.  

The rugged and weather resistant CABELA’S VLR features popular “Scan” and “>150” modes and includes 

a carrying case.  Scan mode provides continuous distance measurements as multiple targets in the field of 

view are scanned. The “>150” mode only captures distance measurements of objects greater than 150 

yards away, enabling distance measurement through foreground clutter like brush and branches. 

The CABELA’S VLR emits invisible, eye-safe, infrared energy pulses.  Sophisticated digital technology and 

a high-speed clock are used to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring the time it takes for each 

pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.

The ranging accuracy of the CABELA’S VLR 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  570  yards  /  521  meters  while  for  highly  reflective  objects  the  maximum  is  700 

yards / 640 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the
