Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding
the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time
to measure angle. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, the line of sight will be
displayed along with unit of measure. Beneath the line of sight distance and unit of measure, the degree of angle will
be displayed for approximately 1.5 seconds, and will then automatically switch to the compensated range. The line of
sight distance, unit of measure and automatic toggle from degree of angle to compensated distance will continue for 5
seconds at which time the display will automatically shut off.
BOW MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards. Instead of
shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer
because of the severe angle.
If in BOW mode, the line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance
will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell® determined through extensive testing and interviews with high-profile
bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance
because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments.
Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty.
Line of Sight = 32Y
Compensated Distance = 23Y
Line of Sight = 32Y
Degree of Angle = -44°
