Bushnell 201966, 201965 manual BOW Mode Example, Rifle Mode Example

Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the inclinometer enough time to measure angle. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released the power button, the line of sight will be displayed along with unit of measure. Beneath the line of sight distance and unit of measure, the degree of angle will be displayed for approximately 1.5 seconds, and will then automatically switch to the compensated range. The line of sight distance, unit of measure and automatic toggle from degree of angle to compensated distance will continue for 5 seconds at which time the display will automatically shut off.

BOW MODE EXAMPLE

Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards. 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.

Line of Sight = 32Y	Line of Sight = 32Y
Degree of Angle = -44°	Compensated Distance = 23Y

If in BOW mode, 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.

RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE

Line of sight is 376 yards, angle is -33 degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is 28 inches. ARC™ not only takes into account ballistic data based off your caliber and load from distances of100-800 yards, but also compensates for any uphill and downhill angles which also affect bullet-drop.

Line of Sight = 376 Yards	Line of Sight = 376 Yards
Degree of Angle = -33°	Holdover/Bulletdrop = 28 Inches

If in RIFLE mode, the ballistic group will be displayed in the bullet drop numeric field anytime that the primary numeric display is showing dashes (i.e. no target acquired). When a target is acquired in RIFLE mode, the line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display. Either “IN,” “MOA,” “ML,” or “CM” will light next to the bullet drop numeric display. If the bullet drop / hold over reads “ ,” this means the compensated distance is beyond what can be displayed, and or beyond ballistic calculations and user will need to hold low.
