Designed in conjunction with the bowhunting legend himself, the Bushnell Chuck Adams Edition 4x20mm archery-specific laser rangefinder excels regardless of the terrain. The rangefinder is outfitted with Bushnell's Angle Range Compensation (ARC) technology, which provides accurate readings from tree stands and steep hills. Simply hit the Fire button and it will calculate the "shoots-like" distance based on the angle of your shot.
 The rangefinder's Angle Range Compensation (ARC) adjusts the distance based on your standing position. |
Other features include a built-in digital inclinometer that measures angles from -90 to 90 degrees with +/- 1-degree accuracy; a pocket-sized build; 4x magnification; a rainproof housing; a built-in battery indicator; and a posi-thread battery door. The rangefinder comes with a carrying case, battery, and neck strap.
How Bushnell's Laser Rangefinders Work
Bushnell's laser rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 laser beam (as classified by the FDA), which is "bounced" off distant objects at the press of a button. In the process, the rangefinder uses a high-speed digital clock to measure the time it took for the laser beam to reach the target and return, and then calculates the distance within plus-or-minus 1 yard. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button and the time the exact range appears. The information appears on the unit's through-the-lens LCD display.
Because rangefinders bounce laser beams off targets in order to take measurements, their range is partially determined by the target's reflectivity. So distances to reflective or "hard" targets like rock cliffs and semis can be measured from farther away than those to soft-surface targets such as deer. Ranges for moderately reflective targets, like trees, fall somewhere in the middle. Most experienced hunters will use their rangefinder to estimate ranges to near and distant landmarks before they actually encounter a game animal. By pre-measuring ranges to spots where trophies are likely to appear, they can concentrate on making an accurate shot when the moment of truth arrives.

Being a recovering rifle hunter and only having swapped to bow hunting recently, I came to the realization that something was missing from my rangefinder I use for rifle hunting.... ARC. For those that are not sure what that is: This compensates the distance based on the angle you are shooting. Although you can do a bit of quick math in your head to guess which pin to use when shooting up hill or down hill, the margin of error is just too great for my liking. The ARC feature is truly a must if you plan to bow hunt from a tree stand or in an area that has steep slopes.
I tested numerous different rangefinders that had an ARC like feature. This model seemed to outperform the other models/brands when all factors were taken into account. It is not as clear as a Nikon, nor is the display is slick looking as the Leupold. It does, however fit that spot right between all of them and does everything well. It also has angle compensation, if I didn't mention that. The next closest model I looked at and liked was the Nikon Archer's Choice, but it is another $100 or so and washes out in low light conditions. The Bushnell does not seem to be as bad with the washing out in low light as long as you are within arrow distance.
There is also a longer range version of this by Bushnell, but it only really gains you 50 yards over the distance of this model. Why would I shoot over 100 yards with a bow anyway? I am fairly accurate, but not willing to chance the added variables at that range.
If you are looking for one rangefinder to be perfect for both bow and rifle hunting, give it up. The features you need for the bow do not match those needed for rifle. Anything you get will not make you happy. This is the best bang for your buck to use with the bow and has the ARC to truly tell you which pin to use. If you want one for the rifle, spend the cash and get the Zeiss Victory.

As with all Bushnell products this are a good well built solid unit, this rangefinder is a easy one hand rapid distance and angle verifer that allows you to compensate for the arrow drop quickly and not lose sight of your target. Good price

I have used this alot since I bought it and have absolutely no regrets. Optics are very clear and I've ranged it up to 798 yds. I shoot a rifle, bow and shootgun and have used it for all three. It's durable, as I aparently left it on the hood of my truck and did not discover it missing until the next day. Drove 50 miles to look for it the following day and found it in perfect working order. (I do not recommend this.) I would recommend this unit to any one looking for one.
