Your Bushnell® YARDAGE PRO®SPORT®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 laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, please read these
instructions before using your YARDAGE PRO SPORT.
INTRODUCTION
Your Bushnell YARDAGE PRO SPORT is the world’s most simple to use, yet advanced laser rangefinder. Using
Digital Technology and measuring a mere 4.2 x 3.7 x 1.9 inches, the 7.7 ounce YARDAGE PRO SPORT delivers
superb and accurate range performance to +/- one yard. Range to a deer or a golf flag as far as 200 yards out, or to a
tree 450 yards away for a reference point. The single button operation allows outdoor enthusiasts to easily measure
distance with confidence.
The YARDAGE PRO SPORT emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses. 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.
The ranging accuracy of the YARDAGE PRO SPORT 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 450 yards / 411 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 999 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. 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.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the monocular, depress the power button once to activate the inview
display system (LCD). Aim the YARDAGE PRO SPORT at a target at least 5 yards away,
depress and hold the power button down until range reading is displayed. Release the power
button. Note: Once activated, the YARDAGE PRO SPORT’s 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.
FEATURES
Your YARDAGE PRO SPORT’s LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise you unit of measure, when
the laser is active, the battery charge is low, and when a target has been acquired. A summary of these features is
presented below:
UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS – The YARDAGE PRO SPORT 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,

remove the battery cover slide. Locate the internal yards to meter slide
switch. To measure in yards, slide the switch to the “Y” position. To
measure in meters, slide the switch to the “M” position.
ILLUMINATING INDICATORS – Low Battery Charge ( ) When the
low battery symbol is displayed in the upper right-hand portion of the
LCD, the battery charge is getting low and the 9-volt alkaline battery
should be replaced.
Target Acquired:Informs the user that a distance measurement has
been obtained. The message “TARGET ACQUIRED” will appear in
the top portion of the LCD. The distance measured will appear at the
bottom of the LCD in numerical form.
SPECIFICATIONS
OPTICAL DESIGN The YARDAGE PRO SPORT features a Perma Focus monocular optical system for viewing your
target. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle
for targeting, yards / meters, and low battery 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.

CLEANING
Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean
with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the
lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and
photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth
- never directly on the lens.

Before returning for repair, consult the Trouble Shooting Table below.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE
If unit does not turn on - LCD does not illuminate:
• Depress power button.
• Check and if necessary, replace battery.
If unit powers down (display goes blank when attempting to power the laser):
• The battery is either weak or low quality. Replace the battery with a good quality alkaline battery. Heavy Duty
alkaline batteries are NOT recommended.
There is no reset button to clear last range reading before ranging another target:
• The last range reading does not need to be cleared before ranging another target. Simply aim at the new target
using the LCD’s reticle, depress the power button and hold until new range reading is displayed.
If target range cannot be obtained:
• Make sure LCD is illuminated.
• Make sure that the power button is being depressed
• Make sure that nothing, such as your hand or finger, is blocking the objective lenses (lenses closest to the target)
that emit and receive the laser pulses.
• Make sure unit is held steady while depressing power button.
