The Longest. The Most Accurate. The Most Consistent. The Best Ever.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® Pro XE Laser Rangefinder, our top of the line laser rangefinder for golfers.
The Pro XE is a precision Laser Rangefinding optical instrument designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This owner’s
guide will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its features and operation, as well as how to care for your
rangefinder. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your Pro XE.
WARNING: As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long
periods of time with magnified lenses.
INTRODUCTION
Your Bushnell® Pro XE is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of digital technology and turbo processors
allowing range readings from 5–1300 yards / 5–1189 meters. Measuring 1.5 x 4 x 3 inches, the 8-ounce Pro XE delivers
extremely fast acquisition and +/- 1 yard accuracy.
Tour-trusted compensated distances have been taken to the next level with “Elements.” Temperature and pressure have
been added to Bushnell’s patented Slope technology to give golfers the most precise compensated distances ever.
The Pro XE features PinSeeker™ technology with JOLT, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly “zero” in on the flag without
acquiring background targets, and superb optical quality. JOLT has been advanced with the all new “Visual JOLT.” A red ring
now flashes as JOLT vibrates to give the golfer even greater feedback and confidence to know you have locked onto the flag.
Also new to the Pro XE is Bushnell’s exclusive BITE magnetic mount that allows you to easily mount the Pro XE right on the
cart bar.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Pro XE emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Pro XE 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 Pro XE 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 1000 yards / 914 meters while
for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1300 yards / 1189 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 greater the reflectivity of the
target, the longer the range. A white or silver object is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than
the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny or glossy 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.
