This laser range finder will range distances of a larger object up to approximately 700 yards, making it ideal for the hunter who needs a high quality range finder. We had the chance to put one of these through it's paces and were very pleasantly surprised with many of the features.

One of the things that we liked immediately was simply the aesthetics of this rangefinder. It fits nicely in your hand and is lightweight and compact. The eye relief was very comfortable and just felt good against our face. It worked nicely and easily met our needs. The Bushnell rangefinder can be switched back and forth from priority one and two for extra versatility and another neat feature that we really liked was the scan function. You can hold down the button and range from object to object for up to 20 seconds, very handy if you want to kind of get a lay of the land and an idea of the terrain around you.

The 6x magnification and high quality optics provide a very high quality view of what you are looking at. It will never replace a high quality pair of ranging binoculars BUT it's not even close to as expensive and is more compact and easy to carry with you weighing in less than 7 oz.

Who Should Buy the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout

The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout is perfect for the hunter who needs a good quality rangefinder that has the features they need in an attractive and lightweight package. You can buy more powerful rangefinders but this is a great bang for the buck and should serve your needs for a long time come. High quality manufacturing combined with great optics and the features you need make the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout a great choice.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><img src="http://rangefinderreviews.net/images/B00005AXIY/31ahgSLLAkL._SL75_.jpg" /><td></tr><tr><td> The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout compact laser rangefinder can display the distance of a larger object up to 700 yds. The monocular design provides continuous distance measurement as multiple targets in the field of view are scanned. Battery included. Color: Hunter Green. Hunting and golfing will never be the same with the Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout. Its 10- to 700-yard range with 1-yard accuracy (plus or minus, without reflectors or special devices) makes it perfect for golfing, bow hunting, and archery. The pocket-sized Pro Scout is water resistant and comes with a standard 3-volt battery. How a Laser Rangefinder Works Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance within + / – 1 yard and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD Display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed. Reflectivity of Target Types Because rangefinders "bounce" a laser beam off the target in order to take a measurement, their range is partially determined by the reflectivity of the target. In other words, hard or "reflective" targets – like a rock cliff or semi-truck – can be measured at greater distances than soft surface targets – like a deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to frequently estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By "pre-measuring" ranges to spots where a trophy is likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives. Through-the-lens LCD Display Bushnell Yardage Pro rangefinders are fast and easy to use because everything you need to know is displayed on our built-in, through-the-lens LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Here's how it works: A. Targeting Modes Scan The Scan mode allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan with the viewfinder. Rain This feature compensates for precipitation to guarantee an accurate distance measurement through rain or snow. Zip Zip allows you to accurately measure longer ranges (beyond 150 yards) when looking through foreground clutter like brush or branches. Reflector This feature increases the maximum measurement range for most highly reflective objects. B. Meters/Yards You can quickly choose between these standard measuring units with a simple press of a button. C. Reticle The distance to objects targeted in these crosshairs will be displayed on the Distance Readout with the press of a button. D. Battery Indictor Flashes when battery power is low. E. Target Quality Gauge Gauge indicating amount of energy pulses being received back from the target. <td></tr></table>

Hunters everywhere continue to turn to this model for the utmost in accuracy, precision adjustments and more.

This model features a 5x magnification level and a 24mm objective lens. It has a reflective distance range of up to 1,000 yards and can pinpoint soft targets at ranges up to 300 yards. Its intermediary range is 600 yards and it provides accuracy within a yard.

Where the Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC really shines is all of the various modes it has, and the technology and accuracy that it provides. First of all, the ARC designation means Angle Range Compensation technology, which adjusts for your inclination and the terrain angle to provide a true shooting distance instead of just a face value readout.

There are other modes that can be used to provide great accuracy and useful additional information. If you're a bow hunter, you can use the Bow targeting mode to provide accurate horizontal distances in a range of 5 to 99 yards. In Rifle targeting mode you'll be able to get precise details on bullet drop or holdover adjustments in ranges of 100 yards to 600 yards.

BullsEye mode will help you to accurately gauge close up targets without interference from background targets, and Brush mode will allow you to target right past any brush, bushes or other foreground objects enabling you to target an object in the distance.

In addition to all of the above features, the Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC laser range finder is extremely compact and portable. It weighs just 6.6 ounces and measures just 1.6 x 2.8 x 3.1 inches, making it easy to carry in any pocket.

The Bushnell Scout 1000 ARC laser range finder is the hunter's perfect tool. Whether you go for your prey with a bow or a rifle, you'll have precisely accurate ranges to help you get off the perfect shot.

A Bow mode provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards, while the Rifle mode provides bullet-drop/holdover data in inches from 100 to 800 yards. This weather-resistant rangefinder features a black body, built-in inclinometer, fully multi-coated optics, and built-in tripod mount. Targeting Modes Bow: Provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards based on angle. Rifle Mode: Select the ballistic group of your firearm (guidelines supplied). When you range your target, an inclinometer displays the angle and provides bullet-drop/holdover in inches (up to 99") from 100 to 600 yards. SCAN: Allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan. BullsEye: Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display. Brush: Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only. Specifications Magnification: 5x Objective lens: 24mm Range: 5 to 1000 yards Field of view: 367 feet @ 1000 yards Eye relief: 21m Battery type: 3 volt Weight: 6.6 ounces Dimensions: 1.6 x 2.8 x 3.1 inches Range Reflective: 1000 yards Tree: 600 yards Deer: 300 yards Accuracy: ± 1 yard How a Laser Rangefinder Works Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button.
