Questions & Answers for Bushnell Bushnell® Scout 1000 A.R.C. Laser Rangefinders

Question

Range vs. game range

Why is there a difference between the stated range and the range for game?

The range for game is 700 yards less than the range specified for... not game? Meaning, I would guess, cans, water bottles, melons, and paper targets (i.e. things yardage could be fairly easily determined without a ~300-dollar rangefinder.) It would seem to me stating a range of 1000 yards but rating it only 300 yards for hunting (the most necessary and practical application,) is somewhat misleading.

I have no experience with these, so I am sure I am missing something entirely obvious. However I thought the question merited asking.

Thanks.

Range is determined on reflective backgrounds. Animals are "soft" targets and are not as refelctive as trees, rocks, dark backgrounds. SO if you see a deer a heck of long ways away, range the tree or other feature near it. IF the deer is 300 or less, range it.

Larger targets are easier to hold in the main focal point of the range finder. Game (including deer) is much harder to hold in the range finder at further distances due to their smaller size and that they may be moving. Case in point, I held a deer in my focal point at 150 yds this past weekend and it was getting difficult to keep the deer in the center without resting my arm on something solid.

According to the manual that comes with my scout 1000, it has to deal with the reflective ability of targets vs game. A white target would have much more reflective ability over a brown deer. Also, the manual also stats that under perfect conditions you should be able to range game up to 700 yards and targets up to 1000 yards. A bit misleading but I understand a little more now. Also, I have a field I hunt that is approximately 600 yards with deer and other wild game in it on a regular basis. So watch for further comment concerning the truth about that statement.

Range finders work by bouncing a laser off of an object and calculating the time it takes the beam to return (very simply put). Hard objects like trees rocks, "cans and water bottles" will have a much harder and reflective surface so the beam will not degrade as much. When it bounces off of a softer less dense object, especially one with fur, the returning beam will be degraded considerably, sometimes enought that it will not make it all the way back if it is too far away. I hope this answers your question.

Question

What's the difference between them?

I don't know much about these products. My boyfriend told me he wants one for Christmas. When I typed in the name "Bushnell Rangefinder scout 1000" it gave me a black and realtree version, but, then it lists other versions of them ranging in price. What is the difference between them all? Why is one $319 and another is $249 but the have the same description? Help me out, break this down for me! :-(

The only difference is the color. Some people like the camo color and other like the color in black.

answer 2

The price difference is completely the difference between a black and a camo version. There will be no performance difference at all. If you boyfriend is a camo junky, go with it but if not, save the money and buy the black one. Either way this is a good choice.

Of the 4 models listed, two are camo and two are black. Of the camo/black models listed (2 of each), one has the ARC feature and one does not. The ARC feature is useful for hunting from a treestand or something like that. It takes the "guesswork" out of the angle between the treestand and the ground, providing you a more realistic distance (taking into account things like trajectory, i assume).

There are quite a few covers for models this size but it also comes with one. I used a stretchy camera cover that works great.

Not sure what you mean, but it can read horizontal distance when the angle is zero flat. It shows the horizontal distance and ARC distance when ranging.
