The popular Yardage Pro Scout uses digital technology to accurately measure distances from 10 to 700 yards. The vertical case design enables the hunter to operate the Scout with one hand. This compact rangefinder measures a mere 1.5"x4"x 2.75 ", weighs 6.8 oz. and slips easily in a shirt pocket or day pack. 

With the new Realtree Hardwood camo pattern, bowhunters, blackpowder hunters and riflemen can confidently use the Scout at close range without spooking game or compromising their concealment. The new Realtree Hardwoods pattern uses a new High Definition process that utilizes the latest improvements in digital capture and computer images. Overall image, reproduction quality and color depth are greatly improved. The result is a crisper image that's more realistic and effective.

The Yardage Pro Scout is easy to use. While scanning through the 6x adjustable eyepiece, the hunter places the reticle on the target, depresses the fire button located on the top of the Scout and instantly reads the distance, in yards or meters, illuminated by an LED. Accuracy is an incredible +/- one yard.

The Yardage Pro Scout emits invisible, eye-safe, Class I laser energy pulses that are reflected off a selected target back to its receiving optics. When the fire button is depressed, digital circuitry and a high-speed clock instantaneously calculate distances by measuring the time required for each pulse to travel from the Scout to the target and return.  The vertical alignment of the optics and the molded finger grips make it easy to hold the Scout on target and determine the distance while ranging longer distances. 

The Scout features Scan and Zip modes. In the Scan mode, the hunter presses the fire button and receives continuously updated distance readouts as the rangefinder scans an area. If an animal is behind an obstruction, the hunter can quickly range on a nearby tree or rock without releasing the fire button. Moving targets can also be tracked using this mode. In the Zip mode, the Scout will disregard any feedback from secondary targets - tree limbs or brush - in essence eliminating measurement to targets less than 150 yards away, providing an accurate read-out for the primary target. 

The rugged, water-resistant Scout will perform under the most severe weather conditions. The 3-volt lithium battery included with the Scout will deliver over 2,000 readings. An automatic, battery-saving feature shuts the unit off after 30 seconds of non-use.  For quick access, a neck strap and carrying case with clip and belt loop are included with the Scout. 

The Yardage Pro Scout, (#20-3000), will be available in August 2001 at Bushnell dealers nationwide. Suggested retail price is $299.99.
