Bushnell scout 1000 arc rangefinder problem.

session savage

Anyone with one of these might be able to help.


It wont go into rifle or bow mode only stays in regular mode.

If i hold the mode button for 5 sec as the manual says it just goes into yard or metre selection and doesnt let me choose rifle mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I had a Bushnell Range finder.
Just gave up the ghost one day.

Is yours a sealed unit?

Yeah its sealed.
It rangefinds no bother just wont change into rifle mode.

Mine would get stuck on start up mode.

I believe it's a poor design/design flaw.

Any item that can not be opened is a throw away item IMvHO.

I have a Nikon now.
Stopped measuring over 25 yards recently.

I opened the screws and troubleshooted the circuitary
I found a loose component (I dropped it once) I pushed back into position and bobs yer uncle.


It sounds like the sensor of your mode button is fecked. I still have the old Bushnell at home somewhere, I went to several RFD's to no avail.

So I bought a Nikon:cool:
