HOW THE RACK BRACKET WORKS
In an effort to help hunters, Bushnell looked at issues that had confronted many of them in the field. Field
judging deer, especially via magnified view, can be exceedingly difficult. To help with the field judging of
whitetails and mule deer we have incorporated a series of lines that extend out from each aiming point.
Each lines measures 24 inches at the respective distance. There will also be two “hash marks” on each line
that measure 17 inches between them. Why did we choose 24” and 17”? After extensive research it was
determined that 24 inches represents the average width of a mule deer’s ears and 17 inches was the aver-
age width of a whitetail’s ears. Given proper time to judge an animal, a hunter can now get an estimate of
rack width, and possibly even tine length. Rack Bracket estimations are for reference only and may not
be exact. Make note that it is the sole responsibility of the hunter to make the final determination on any
animal they decide to harvest. Please refer to your local and/or state regulations regard-
ing antler width standards for harvested animals. It is the hunters responsibility to be
knowledgeable of and abide by all game regulations.
