Bushnell 202204, 98-1355/01-09 manual BOW Mode Example

When line of sight distances from 5-99 yards are displayed, the Bow mode indicator will automatically be displayed along with angle and a compensated distance. If distances greater than 99 yards are displayed, the Bow mode Indicator will automatically turn off along with compensated distances.

BOW MODE EXAMPLE

Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards. The “ ” means “play” or “shoot as,” so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle.

The line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell® determined through extensive testing and interviews with high- profile bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty.

Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform differently from downhill shots because of gravity. However, it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows. The sighting pin on a bow resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example, when one is aiming 23 degrees up an incline, the arrow is at a different angle.

NOTE: We took the most commonly used features and included them all in a simple to use, one button operation device. This laser rangefinder always functions in Bow mode from 5-99 yards. The device will provide line of sight distance only when objects greater than 99 yards are acquired.
