TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the furthest of the objects recognized by the laser.

Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last targeting mode used.

OPTICAL DESIGN

Magnification and Coatings

The Scout™1000 ARC™ features 5x magnification and Multi-Coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards / meters, and Mode indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.

TRIPOD MOUNT

Molded into the bottom of your Scout™ 1000 is a threaded tripod mount that will allow you to attach a tripod for a more stable operation during long periods of use.

Scout 1000™ with ARC™ (Angle Range Compensation): In addition to all of the features described above, the Scout™ 1000 ARC™ is an advanced premium laser rangefinder featuring a built-in accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -60 to +60 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate.

The Bushnell® Scout™1000 with ARC™ solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. The problem: Bow and rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. The Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer provides elevation angle to allow for distance compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. This data is then combined with internal algorithmic ballistic formulas.

ARC (Angle Range Compensation) Modes

Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true horizontal distance from 5-99 yards / meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 60°.

Rifle Mode ( ): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches or centimeters. The amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of elevation, along with the specific ballistic characteristics of the caliber and ammunition load. When you range your target, the line of sight, degree of elevation, and bullet-drop/holdover in inches or centimeters will be displayed from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 60°. One of eight ballistic groups (identified as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center fire rifles and two ballistic groups (Identified as I and J) for Black Powder / Muzzleloaders can be selected by the user, with each formula representing a given combination of caliber and loads. The ballistic groups are selected by the user in the SET-UP menu.

1000 specifications

The Bushnell 1000 is a powerful laser rangefinder designed for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and sports enthusiasts. Renowned for its accuracy and durability, it excels in providing precise distances over long ranges. The device boasts a maximum range of up to 1000 yards, making it ideal for both short-range and long-distance applications.

One of the standout features of the Bushnell 1000 is its Advanced Digital Optical System (ADOS). This technology enhances the clarity and brightness of the viewed image, allowing users to see targets clearly, even in low-light conditions. Coupled with multi-coated optics, ADOS ensures minimal light loss and improved light transmission, providing a bright and clear view of distant objects.

The rangefinder also incorporates Bushnell's famous PinSeeker technology. This feature helps users easily identify and lock onto flagsticks or other targets, ensuring accurate readings even in cluttered environments. When enabled, PinSeeker can ignore background targets, allowing hunters and golfers alike to achieve the precise measurement they need without distractions.

Another significant selling point is the built-in scan mode. This function allows users to continuously measure distances while moving, providing real-time data as users pan across a landscape. This is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments where the target may shift or move unexpectedly.

In terms of design, the Bushnell 1000 is lightweight and ergonomic, making it easy to carry during long outings. It also features a rugged, waterproof construction that is essential for outdoor use, ensuring reliability in various weather conditions. Its compact size and streamline design make it a convenient tool to fit in any gear bag.

For those who prioritize battery life, the Bushnell 1000 offers an efficient power management system. The device usually runs on a standard 9V battery, providing extended usage time between replacements.

With its innovative technologies, user-friendly design, and commitment to durability, the Bushnell 1000 remains a top choice for anyone seeking a reliable and effective laser rangefinder. Whether for hunting, golfing, or any other outdoor activity, this device is equipped to meet the demands of serious enthusiasts.
