Designed in conjunction with the bowhunting legend himself, the Bushnell Chuck Adams Edition 4x20mm archery-specific laser rangefinder excels regardless of the terrain. The rangefinder is outfitted with Bushnell's Angle Range Compensation (ARC) technology, which provides accurate readings from tree stands and steep hills. Simply hit the Fire button and it will calculate the "shoots-like" distance based on the angle of your shot.

The rangefinder's Angle Range Compensation (ARC) adjusts the distance based on your standing position.

No more having to adjust your true horizontal distance by eye when you're standing at an extreme uphill or downhill angle. The Chuck Adams Edition rangefinder also accommodates bowhunters with its Bow Mode, which simultaneously displays line-of-sight, angle, and true horizontal distances from 5 to 99 yards. And rifle hunters aren't left out, as the rangefinder also provides line-of-sight distances from 5 to 850 yards.

Other features include a built-in digital inclinometer that measures angles from -90 to 90 degrees with +/- 1-degree accuracy; a pocket-sized build; 4x magnification; a rainproof housing; a built-in battery indicator; and a posi-thread battery door. The rangefinder comes with a carrying case, battery, and neck strap.

How Bushnell's Laser Rangefinders Work
Bushnell's laser rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 laser beam (as classified by the FDA), which is "bounced" off distant objects at the press of a button. In the process, the rangefinder uses a high-speed digital clock to measure the time it took for the laser beam to reach the target and return, and then calculates the distance within plus-or-minus 1 yard. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button and the time the exact range appears. The information appears on the unit's through-the-lens LCD display.

Because rangefinders bounce laser beams off targets in order to take measurements, their range is partially determined by the target's reflectivity. So distances to reflective or "hard" targets like rock cliffs and semis can be measured from farther away than those to soft-surface targets such as deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By pre-measuring ranges to spots where trophies are likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives.

This review is from: Bushnell BowHunter Chuck Adams Edition 4x 20mm ARC Bow Mode Laser Rangefinder (Sports)

This is such a nice thing to have in the woods. I practiced with this rangefinder in my back yard and it was spot on. I was using this in conjunction with an adjustable yardage pin I recently installed on my bow, and it is just amazing how great they both work together. I was shooting at yardages (in my yard) I would usually not attempt for fear of wounding an animal in the field. The ARC compensation worked flawlessly.
You have to be aware that you do not have anything in the way of the bottom site. Anything obstructing it's view will not allow it to acquire the target. Found that out while wearing my bow release!!!
Other than that, great product.
