BOW MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards.
The “
” means “play” or “shoot as,” so 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.
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.
