Your Bushnell® Speedster™ is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of enjoyment. This
booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments and features as well as
how to care for this precise speed and statistic measuring instrument. To ensure optimal performance and
longevity, please read these instructions before using your Bushnell Speedster.
INTRODUCTION
Your Bushnell Speedster uses digital technology and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to provide
instantaneous and accurate speed measurements to +/- One Mile Per Hour (MPH) accuracy. The Bushnell
Speedster is a handy, multi-functional speed gun for all kinds of sports enthusiasts. Track everything from
pitching speeds to cars at the racetrack. The Bushnell Speedster measures the speed of a baseball at 10-
110 MPH from 60 feet away from the ball, and the speed of a racecar from 10-200 MPH at 650 feet away.
Unlike any other speed gun available, the Speedster allows you to keep statistics for baseball and softball,
and provides last and average speeds for any type of object measured.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your Bushnell Speedster operates on six AA batteries. To install, remove the battery cover (A) by
depressing both sides of the handle bottom. Remove the battery cartridge (B) and install the batteries so
that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the batteries match the markings inside the battery
cartridge. Re-insert the battery cartridge with batteries in place and then place battery cover back onto the
handle.

  • Page 8 Cosine Effect on Target Velocity The Speedster will measure the relative speed of a target as it approaches the Speedster. If the target is in a direct line (collision course) with the Speedster the measured speed will be exact. As the angle of incidence increases, if you move either right or left of this direct line, the accuracy will decrease.

    (y1). This is assumed to be an average of 20 feet. So the total distance from pitcher to Speedster (ytot) is 80 feet for this example. This is the straight-line direction of ball travel, not the distance from the pitcher to the actual Speedster position, which is R.
