Above are a few of the most popular calibre/load combinations. A complete list of
approximately 2000 calibre and load combinations can be found on Bushnell’s website
(www.bushnell.com).
After you have determined which ballistic group corresponds to your calibre and load,
select this ballistic group (see MENU SETUP above). The internal formula will determine
amount of bullet-drop/holdover in inches or centimetres based upon distance, angle
and ballistics of your calibre and load.
This state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely
where to hold for an effective shot. This information should be treated as a helpful guide
or tool and in no way should it ever replace practice and familiarity with your rifle,
cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at different ranges so you know
how your rifle, cartridge and load will perform under various conditions. Always know
what is behind your bullet; if you don’t know, don’t take the shot.
EXAMPLE
You have a 300 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: 180gr.
Ballistic Silver Tip bullet at 3010 FPS muzzle velocity. This combination falls under
Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the rangefinder to ballistic group “F”, go to the range
and sight in your riflescope at 100yds. If you then take a shot at a target at 317yds, the
bullet-drop will be 9ins. If the shot is at an angle of 27° upward, then the corrected
bullet-drop will be 8ins.
WHAT IF YOUR CALIBRE IS NOT LISTED?
While we have taken great care to include as many calibres and brand names in our
ballistics tables, new loads are always being developed. In addition, some shooters load
their own ammunition with unique ballistic characteristics. If you cannot find your load
in our ballistic tables, you can still use the bullet-drop feature of the laser rangefinder.
As above, sight in your rifle at 100yds. Then shoot the rifle, without adjusting the
riflescope, at 300yds. Measure the bullet-drop from point of aim. Using this drop, select
the ballistic group from below. If you will be shooting longer distances then you may
want to check the bullet-drop at 500yds. Because there is enormous variation in rifle
barrels, chambers and hand loads, you should thoroughly test the ballistic setting before
actual hunting. You may need to move up or down one group depending upon your
tests.
RAINGUARD HD
The outer surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses are coated with RainGuard
HD. This is Bushnell’s permanent, patented, water repellant lens coating that prevents
fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead
up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller uniform droplets
scatter less light which results in a clearer, brighter view.
CLEANING
Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove
dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a
coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause
permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and
photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply
the fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
If the unit does not turn on - Display does not illuminate:
• Depress the POWER button.
• Check and, if necessary, replace battery.
If the unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser):
• The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality 3V
Lithium battery (CR123).
If target range cannot be obtained:
• Make sure Display is illuminated
• Make sure that the power button is depressed
• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses
(lenses closest to the target) that emit and receive the laser pulses
• Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button
NOTE: The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another
target. Simply aim at the new target using the LCD’s reticle, depress the power button
and hold until new range reading is displayed.
