Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazingly compact and simple to use, this Bushnell Scout 1000 rangefinder features Bushnell's exclusive Angle Range Compensation (ARC) technology, which accounts for terrain angle to give you an accurate "shoots-like" distance--all with the tap of a button. A Bow mode provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards, while the Rifle mode provides bullet-drop/holdover data in inches from 100 to 800 yards. This weather-resistant rangefinder features a Realtree camouflage body, built-in inclinometer, fully multi-coated optics, and built-in tripod mount.

Targeting Modes

• Bow: Provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards based on angle.
• Rifle Mode: Select the ballistic group of your firearm (guidelines supplied). When you range your target, an inclinometer displays the angle and provides bullet-drop/holdover in inches (up to 99") from 100 to 600 yards.
• SCAN: Allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan.
• BullsEye: Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display.
• Brush: Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only.

How a Laser Rangefinder Works
Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance within ±1 yard and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD Display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, but major functionality missing, October 19, 2010

This review is from: Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC w/ Realtree AP Camo Laser Rangefinder (Sports)

I purchased the Scout 1000 and found the performance and quality to be quite good. The ergonomics were wonderful. Overall, I was quite impressed with the product. The supplied case was of poor quality - the latch could easily come undone and the rangefinder lost if you were scrambling through thick brush.

The biggest flaw is that it does not present true horizontal distance or (as they put it) "shoots-like" distance beyond 100 yards. Instead, beyond 100 yards you are required to go through a complex process of entering your rifle's ballistics category and then the range finder shows you the true distance and an approximate holdover distance. This information might be helpful for novice shooters that simply want to get 'close enough', but it is virtually worthless for the many rifle shooters that are using a scope with a B&C, BDC, Ballistic, or similar reticle or turret. With these scopes, you only want to know the true horizontal distance. And that's all. You then adjust the turret or you hold over to the correct scope reticle marker for that distance.

For example, if the true horizontal distance for a steep uphill shot is 500 yards, you simply place the 500 yard reticle in your scope on the target and shoot (all other things considered). This is MUCH easier and more accurate than guessing a 42.4 inch holdover measurements at 500 yards. With the Scout 1000, because of an inexplicable design decision, you cannot know the true horizontal distance over 100 yards. In this scenario, the Scout will only report true distance of maybe 550 yards - which if used, will result in a miss, or worse, an injured animal. This lack of functionality renders the rangefinder or your expensive rifle scope mostly useless.

I returned this product and opted for the less expensive Nikon RifleHunter 550 which has at least equal performance to the Scout out to the full 550 yards, but more importantly, it provides true horizontal distance at all distances - critical functionality for serious rifle hunters.
