ANGLE RANGE COMPENSATION
e Elite™ 1600 ARC™ is an advanced premium laser rangender 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.
e Bushnell® Elite 1600 ARC solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. e problem: Bow and rie
hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how these angles alter true horizontal
distance to your target. e Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer provides elevation angle to allow for distance
compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill or downhill. is 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. e amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of elevation,
along with the specic 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, or MOA will be displayed
from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 90°. One of eight ballistic groups (identied as
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center re ries and two ballistic groups (Identied 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.
e ballistic groups are selected by the user in the SET-UP menu.
Regular Mode ( ): is mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead,
line of sight distance only.
