Angle Range Compensation

The G Force 1300 ARC™ is an advanced premium laser rangefinder monocular featuring a built-in accelerometer- based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -90 to +90 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree

accurate. The

Bushnell® G Force 1300 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 10-99 yards /

meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 90°.

Rifle Mode (

): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches, centimeters or MOA.

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, centimeters, MOA, or mil (ML) will be displayed from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 90°. 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 SETUP menu.

Regular Mode ( ): This mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight distance only.

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

Battery Indicator:

2/3 battery life remaining 1/3 battery Life remaining

Battery Indicator Blinks - Battery needs to be replaced and unit will not be operable.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Remove the Posi-Thread™ battery door by lifting the battery door tab and then rotating counter clockwise. Insert a CR2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end first, then replace the battery cap.

NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS

The G Force 1300 ARC™ can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD.

ACTIVE LASER

Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES

The G Force 1300 ARC™ was especially designed with hunters in mind. The selective targeting modes allow you to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move from one mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release. The different targeting modes available and mode indicators are listed below:
