Overview
A laser rangefinder built for bow and rifle hunters, ranging out to 1000 yards with claimed 1-yard accuracy. Angle Range Compensation reports both line-of-sight and true horizontal distance for uphill or downhill shots.
Bushnell paired this unit with the Bone Collector hunting brand, but the core is a straightforward ARC rangefinder: a 50 percent larger objective lens and multi-coated glass for low-light dawn and dusk hunts, plus a scan mode that refreshes four times a second for tracking moving game.
- 1-yard accuracy claim from Bushnell
- ARC angle compensation for uphill/downhill shots
- 50 percent larger objective lens for low light
- 4x-per-second scan mode
Who it's for
Bow and rifle hunters who need quick, angle-corrected yardage in the field, plus casual golfers looking for a rangefinder that reads well past typical fairway distances. Not aimed at competition golfers needing tournament-legal slope-off modes.
Pros and cons
- Fast, accurate readings reported by hunters and golfers alike
- Angle compensation useful on hilly terrain
- Bright optics readable at dawn and dusk
- Scan mode tracks moving targets
- Battery drains quickly with frequent use
- Full 1000-yard spec likely limited to reflective targets
Performance notes
ARC technology calculates both the line-of-sight distance and the angle-compensated horizontal distance, which matters most on steep terrain where a straight-line reading would over- or under-state the shot. The scan mode updates four times per second so a moving target can be tracked rather than just single-pinged.
