Bushnell 205110 manual ARC Angle Range Compensation Modes

Angle Range Compensation

The Elite™ 1600 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® Elite 1600 ARC solves a problem hunters have beenfaced 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, or MOA 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 SET-UP menu.

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