2 Y our CABELA ’S VLR II by BUSHNELL ® 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. T o ensure optimal performance and longevity , please read these in[...]

3 HOW IT WORKS The Cabela’ s VLR II by Bushnell emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings ever y time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it t[...]

4 properties of the par ticular 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 colo[...]

5 GETTING ST ARTED INSER TING THE BA TTERY Remove the batter y cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium batter y into the compartment positive end first, then replace the batter y cap. NOTE: It is recommended that the batter y be replaced at least once ever y 12 months. Low Batter y Indicator: If the “ ?[...]

7 ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE Y our VLR II 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, place the eyepiece up to your gl[...]

8 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. Y ou can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, [...]

9 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. LIQUID CR YST AL DISPLA Y (LCD) INDICA TORS Y our VLR II LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when the laser is actively firing, when a target has bee[...]

10 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). BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - ) The VLR [...]

11 Press the POWER button to tur n 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), dist[...]

12 TIP: While pressing the POWER button, you can move (SCAN) 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 . ARC Angle Range Compensation): In addition to all of the features described above, the VLR II is an[...]

13 Bow Mode ( ): Displays line of sight distance, degree of elevation, and true distance range from 5-99 yards / meters and a maximum inclination of +/- 60°. 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 [...]

14 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. The line of sight distance will display in the primar y numeric display and the inclination and horizontal distance will display in the s[...]

15 inter views with high-profile bow hunting exper ts that multiple bow ballistic groups were not necessar y . 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 necessar y adjustments. Giving the bow-hunter anything else other than horizontal distan[...]
