Function 3: BOW MODE
(RX-750 Model Only)
This mode, when activated, works with TBR to provide the correct ballistics range for arrows. To activate, navigate through the Quick Set Menu by pressing mode until the BOW icon is displayed, then use the POWER button to turn it on/off. Selecting the BOW Mode automatically deactivates the Rifle Mode. The displayed range represents the ballistically equivalent horizontal distance to the target. It incorporates three different groups (A, B, or C) depending on the particular arrow drop. You must choose one of the three groups, based on your bow and arrow performance.
