How Our Digital Technology Works; Ranging Accuracy - Bushnell Pro X2 User Manual

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS

The Pro X2 emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Pro X2 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 X2 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 1300 yards / 1189 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 the
ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit's maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease
the unit's maximum range.
E.S.P.2™ (Extreme. Speed. Precision. 2nd generation), our advanced second generation ranging technology, provides the fastest, most accurate
ranging measurement based on target conditions. The laser analyzes multiple individual measurements to the target and calculates and displays the best
possible result. Target variations such as reflectance, shape and color can affect the accuracy of a laser measurement, but E.S.P.2™ automatically assesses
the conditions and improves the measurement up to 1/2 Yard Accuracy whenever possible from 5–125 yards. When this occurs, display readout precision will
be refined to 1/10th yard. For those who prefer their distances displayed in whole units (full yard or meters), E.S.P.2™ can be disabled in the Setup Menu.
