is an advanced premium laser rangefinder 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.

Legend 1200 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 +/- 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.
