USING THE LASER RANGEFINDER
Your Bushnell HYBRID™ includes an advanced premium laser rangefinder using Digital Technology, allowing range
®
readings from 5-1000 yards / 4.5-914 meters. Measuring a mere 2.1 x 2.6 x 4.3 inches, this 8.5 ounce unit delivers
superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The HYBRID features PinSeeker® Technology, 5x magnification,
and multi-coated optics for excellent light transmission, clarity, and brightness.

The Bushnell HYBRID's laser rangefinder employs an eye safe FDA Class 1 and CE Class 3A laser
in its operation. The HYBRID's Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific
Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital
technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel
from the rangefinder to the target, and back.

The ranging accuracy of the HYBRID is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for
most objects is 600 yards / 549 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards /
914 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective
properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object
is being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. Brightly colored
targets can be ranged at greater distances. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer
ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a
dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an
effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight
