INTRODUCTION
Your BUSHNELL ® BOWHUNTER ™ CHUCK ADAMS EDITION laser rangefinder 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 BowHunter laser rangefinder.
HOW IT WORKS
The BowHunter
™
emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The 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 BowHunter 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 800 yards 732 meters, and 200 yards/183 meters to a deer
sized animal. 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. White 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
