Bushnell SCOUT 1000 ARC Mode D'emploi page 9

BOW MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards.
The " " means "play" or "shoot as," so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were
to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle.
If 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-profile 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 confidently 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 differently from downhill shots because o
gravity. However, it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows
The sighting pin on a bow resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example
when one is aiming 23 degrees up an incline, the arrow is at a different angle.
RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 376 yards, angle is -33 degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is 28 inches. ARC not only
takes into account ballistic data based off your caliber and load from distances of 100-800 yards, bu
also compensates for any uphill and downhill angles which also affect bullet-drop.
If in RIFLE mode, the ballistic group will be displayed in the bullet drop numeric field anytime that the
primary numeric display is showing dashes (i.e. no target acquired). When a target is acquired in RIFLE
mode, the line of sight distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. The "IN" icon (i.e. inches
will light next to the bullet drop numeric display, if the unit of measure is set to Yards (Y). If the unit o
measure is set to Meters (M), the bullet drop will be calculated and displayed in centimeters and the "IN
icon will be turned off. If the bullet drop / hold over number is blinking, this means the user should
add 100 to the number blinking.
