INTRODUCTION
®
Your Bushnell Pro ™ 1600 is an advanced premium laser rangefinder comprised of Digital Technology allowing
range readings from 5-1600 yards / 5-1463meters. Measuring 1.7 x 5.1 x 3.7 inches, the 12-ounce Pro 1600 delivers
™
superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. The Pro 1600 features Selective Targeting™ Modes, Superb
™
®
Optical Quality, 100% Waterproof Construction, and Bushnell's RainGuard HD coating.
HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Pro 1600 emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Pro 1600'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.
RANGING ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the Pro ™ 1600 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 1000
yards / 914 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1600 yards / 1463 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. The brighter the color, the
longer the range. 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 path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on
the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect
