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-prole
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 condently 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 dierently 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. e sighting pin on a bow
resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example, when one is aiming degrees up an incline,
the arrow is at a dierent angle.
RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is yards, angle is - degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is inches. ARC™ not only takes into
account ballistic data based o your caliber and load from distances of - yards, but also compensates for any
uphill and downhill angles which also aect bullet-drop.
Line of Sight = 32Y
Compensated Distance = 23Y
Line of Sight = 32Y
Degree of Angle = -44°
