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.
