Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell
®
Scout™1000 ARC™ Laser Rangefinder. The
Scout™1000 ARC is a precision Laser Rangefinding optical 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 device. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read
these instructions before using your Scout™1000 ARC laser rangefinder.

HOW OUR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY WORKS
The Scout™1000 ARC™ emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Scout ™ 1000‘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 Scout™1000 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 650 yards / 594 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1000 yards /
914 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. White 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.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium
battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If the “
” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery”
or battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your Scout™ 1000 is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one
to focus the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece
until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, make sure the
eyecup is folded in the down position as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to
see a full field of view and then rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus
to your eye.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at
least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near
the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is
being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs
surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no
longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new
target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of
time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire,
press the button down again.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your Scout™ 1000 LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when
the laser is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, and targeting modes. A summary of these
features is presented below:

UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The Scout™ 1000 can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators
are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To select between yards and meters, press and release
the POWER button to turn on the unit (on top of the unit), look through the eyepiece, depress the “MODE”
button (left side of the unit) and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds. The word “SETUP” will
appear at the top if the LCD display and the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for Meters will
flash in the LCD and the SETUP icon will still be displayed. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit
of measure.
When the desired unit of measure is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure
and to return to the normal operating menu. The Scout™ 1000 will return to the last unit of measure
setting used each time the unit is turned on.
ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has
been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear
once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

SELECTIVE TARGETING™ MODES
The Scout™ 1000 was especially designed with hunters in mind. The selective targeting modes allow you
to adjust the performance parameters of the unit to suit your specific situation and environment. To move
from one mode to another, press the POWER button once to turn on the unit. While looking through the
eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release. The different targeting modes available and mode
indicators are listed below:
Standard with Automatic SCAN (LCD Indicator – none) This setting allows
most targets to be distanced up to 1000 yards. Used for moderately reflective
targets that are typical of most distancing situations. The minimum distance
in the standard mode is 5 yards. To use the Automatic SCAN feature, simply
hold down on the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds and move the
rangefinder from object to object while leaving the POWER button depressed.
Automatic SCAN will allow the range to be continuously updated as multiple
objects are targeted.
BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator -
) This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of
small targets and game without inadvertently getting distances to background
targets that have stronger signal strength. When more than one object has
been acquired, distance of the closer object will be displayed and a crosshair
will surround the BullsEye™ indicator informing the user that distance to the
closer object is being displayed in the LCD.
10
Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align the aiming circle onto the
object (i.e. deer) that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser
slowly over the deer until crosshairs surround the BullsEye indicator. If the laser beam recognized more
than one object (i.e. deer and background trees), distance of the closer object (i.e. deer) will be displayed
and crosshairs will surround the BullsEye indicator informing the user that distance to the closer object
is being displayed in the LCD (Figure 1). There may be times when only the laser beam only sees one
object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not
acquired, crosshairs will not surround the BullsEye indicator.
Figure 1
11
TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and
intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the
objects recognized by the laser.
Brush™ (LCD Indicator -
) This advanced mode allows objects such as brush
and tree branches to be ignored so that distance only to background objects
are displayed. When more than one object has been acquired, distance of the
further object will be displayed and a circle will surround the Brush™ indicator
informing the user that distance of the farthest object is being displayed in the
LCD.
Once in this mode, press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Next, align
the aiming circle onto the object that you want distance to. Next, press and
hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the object until a circle
surrounds the Brush indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one
object (i.e. close-up tree branch and a deer in the background), distance of
the further object (i.e. deer) will be displayed and a circle will surround the
brush indicator informing the user that distance to the farther object is being
displayed in the LCD (Figure 2). There may be times when only the laser beam
only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but
because more than one object was not acquired, the circle will not surround
the Brush indicator.
TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and
intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the furthest of the
objects recognized by the laser.

Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last targeting mode used.
OPTICAL DESIGN
Magnification and Coatings
The Scout™1000 ARC™ features 5x magnification and Multi-Coated optics. A liquid crystal display
(LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting, yards /
meters, and Mode indicators. Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear
in the optical system. These are a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the
manufacturing process. They do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.
RAINGUARD™ HD
The outer surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses are coated with RainGuard™ HD. RainGuard™
HD is Buhsnell’s permanent, patented, hydrophobic (water repellant) lens coating the prevents fogging
by causeing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller
droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller uniform droplets scatter less light which results in a clearer,
brighter view.
TRIPOD MOUNT
Molded into the bottom of your Scout™ 1000 is a threaded tripod mount that will allow you to attach a
tripod for a more stable operation during long periods of use.
13
Scout 1000™ with ARC™ (Angle Range Compensation): In addition to all of the features described
above, the Scout™ 1000 ARC™ is an advanced premium laser rangefinder featuring a built-in
accelerometer-based inclinometer that digitally displays the exact angle from -60 to +60 degrees of
elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate.
The Bushnell
®
Scout™1000 with ARC™ solves a problem hunters have been faced with for years. The
problem: Bow and rifle hunters have struggled with extreme uphill and downhill angles because of how
these angles alter true horizontal distance to your target. The Solution: ARC’s integrated inclinometer
provides elevation angle to allow for distance compensation when targeting objects that are either uphill
or downhill. This data is then combined with internal algorithmic ballistic formulas.
ARC (Angle Range Compensation) Modes
Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true horizontal distance from
5-99 yards / meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 60°.
Rifle Mode ( ): Calculates and displays the amount of bullet drop, at the target in inches or
centimeters. The amount of bullet drop is determined by the line of sight distance to the target, degree of
elevation, along with the specific ballistic characteristics of the caliber and ammunition load. When you
range your target, the line of sight, degree of elevation, and bullet-drop/holdover in inches or centimeters
will be displayed from 100 to 800 yards/meters with a maximum inclination of +/- 60°. One of eight
ballistic groups (identified as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) for center fire rifles and two ballistic groups
(Identified as I and J) for Black Powder / Muzzleloaders can be selected by the user, with each formula
representing a given combination of caliber and loads. The ballistic groups are selected by the user in
the SET-UP menu.
14
Regular Mode
( ): This mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but
instead, line of sight distance only.
MENU SETUP – SELECTION of BOW, RIFLE, REGULAR MODES and UNIT OF MEASURE
There are two ARC (Angle Range Compensation) modes and one REGULAR mode. The two ARC modes
are BOW mode and RIFLE mode.
To select between these modes, first turn the unit “ON” by pressing and releasing the POWER button.
Next, press and hold the MODE button for five seconds. The “SETUP” display icon will light and the
current compensation mode will be identified by either the “BOW” symbol (
), the “RIFLE symbol
( ) lit with one of the ballistic groups (A thru J) displayed and flashing, or no indicators lit and the
message (
) flashing in the bottom of the LCD.
The modes can be cycled through in a circular fashion by pressing and releasing the mode button. The
order of modes is a follows: BOW, RIFLE A, RIFLE B, RIFLE C, RIFLE D, RIFLE E, RIFLE F, RIFLE G, RIFLE H,
RIFLE I, RIFLE J, REG, etc. When the bow selection is displayed, the “BOW” icon will flash and when
a “RIFLE: selection is displayed, the “RIFLE” icon will be steady, but the ballistic group will be flashing
toward the bottom of the LCD. When the (
) is displayed, the message ( ) will flash near the
bottom of the LCD.
Once the desired distance compensation mode is displayed, select it by pressing and releasing the
POWER button. Following this selection, the current unit of measure, “Y” for yards or “M” for meters will
flash in the LCD and the SETUP icon is still lit. Pressing the MODE button will toggle the unit of measure.
When the desired unit of measure is displayed, press the POWER button to accept the unit of measure
15
and to return to the normal operating menu. Upon returning to the normal operating menu, the current
compensation mode and unit of measure will be identified in the LCD as indicated below.
SETUP menu Normal Operating Menu
When the unit automatically powers down, operation will always return to the normal operation (i.e.
away from SETUP) with the last used ARC mode active (i.e. BOW, RIFLE, or REGULAR) along with the last
used TARGETING modes active (Standard SCAN, BULLSEYE, or BRUSH). If the unit turns off while in the
SETUP menu, the unit will always return to the last mode(s) still active.
Once the range is displayed, continue to hold the POWER button down for approximately 2 seconds
while holding the aiming circle on the object and keeping the unit as steady as possible so as to allow the
inclinometer enough time to measure angle. Then release the POWER button. Once you have released
the power button, a degree of angle and compensated range will be displayed beneath the line of sight
distance as seen in the images below.
16
BOW MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 32 yards, angle is -44 degrees, and the Angle Range Compensated distance is 23 yards.
The “
” means “play” or “shoot as,” so instead of shooting as 32 yards, shoot as 23 yards. If you were
to shoot as if 32 yards, you would shoot over the top of the deer because of the severe angle.
If in BOW mode, the line of sight distance will display in the primary numeric display and the inclination
and horizontal distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. Bushnell determined through
extensive testing and interviews with high-profile bow hunting experts that multiple bow ballistic groups
were not necessary. Bow-hunters want to know true horizontal distance because that is how they practice
shooting, and once they confidently know that, they can make any necessary adjustments. Giving the
bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distance creates additional confusion and uncertainty.
Many people mistakenly believe that uphill shots perform differently from downhill shots because of
gravity. However, it is not due to gravity, but more of an aberration of the sighting system used on bows.
17
The sighting pin on a bow resides several inches above the mechanical axis of the arrow. For example,
when one is aiming 23 degrees up an incline, the arrow is at a different angle.
RIFLE MODE EXAMPLE
Line of sight is 376 yards, angle is -33 degrees, and the bullet-drop/holdover is 28 inches. ARC not only
takes into account ballistic data based off your caliber and load from distances of 100-800 yards, but
also compensates for any uphill and downhill angles which also affect bullet-drop.
If in RIFLE mode, the ballistic group will be displayed in the bullet drop numeric field anytime that the
primary numeric display is showing dashes (i.e. no target acquired). When a target is acquired in RIFLE
mode, the line of sight distance will display in the secondary numeric displays. The “IN” icon (i.e. inches)
will light next to the bullet drop numeric display, if the unit of measure is set to Yards (Y). If the unit of
measure is set to Meters (M), the bullet drop will be calculated and displayed in centimeters and the “IN”
icon will be turned off. If the bullet drop / hold over number is blinking, this means the user should add
100 to the number blinking.
18
REGULAR MODE
This mode does not provide any degree of elevation or compensated distance, but instead, line of sight
distance only. The will still appear below the line of sight numeric display, but there will not be any
information displayed in this secondary numeric display.
KNOWING WHICH BALLISTIC GROUP TO SELECT
Bushnell engineers have worked with Sierra® Bullets’ ballistic programs and grouped many of the most
popular calibers and loads into eight ballistic groups (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H). Once you know what caliber
and load you are shooting simply look through the chart to determine which one of the eight ballistic
groups match with your particular load and caliber. For Muzzleloaders, we have worked with PowerBelt
Bullets to incorporate ballistic data into two ballistic groups (I and J).

Above are a few of the most popular caliber / load combinations. The enclosed Ballistics CD contains
approximately 1000 caliber and load combinations. Simply load the CD into your computer CD drive
and follow the instructions on your screen. This complete list can also be found on Bushnell’s website
(www.bushnell.com).
After you have determined which ballistic group corresponds to your caliber and load, select this ballistic
group (See MENU SETUP above).The internal formula will determine amount of bullet drop / holdover in
inches or centimeters based upon distance, angle, and ballistics of your caliber and load.
NOTE: All bullet drop / holdover data for ballistic settings A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H assumes the rifle
has been sighted in at 100 yards. Bullet drop / holdover date for ballistic setting I and J assume the
muzzleloader has been sighted in at 150 yards.
This state-of-the-art digital technology allows the hunter or shooter to know precisely where to hold for an
effective shot. This information should be treated as a helpful guide or tool and in no way should it ever
replace practice and familiarity with your rifle, cartridge and load. We encourage practice shooting at
different ranges so you know how your rifle, cartridge and load will perform under various conditions.
Always know what is behind your bullet; if you don’t know, don’t take the shot.
EXAMPLE
You have a 300 WSM and are shooting the following Winchester brand load: 180 gr. Ballistic Silver
Tip bullet at 3010 FPS muzzle velocity. This combination falls under Ballistic Group “F”. After setting the
rangefinder to ballistic group “F”, go to the range and sight in your riflescope at 100 yards. If you then
take a shot at a target at 317 yds, the bullet drop will be 9 inches. If the shot is at angle of 27 degrees
upward, then the corrected bullet drop will be 8 inches.
