New Precision Rangefinder Designed Specifically for Bowhunters

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. –– Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, announces the Broadhead Laser Rangefinder. Meticulously engineered for industry-leading precision with 0.3-yard accuracy out to 150 yards, the Broadhead Laser Rangefinder is the perfect option for archers and bowhunters.

The Broadhead builds on the strengths of Bushnell’s most advanced rangefinders, and at its core is tailored around short-range accuracy for archers who need to know exact distances. The Broadhead’s 0.3-yard accuracy has been tested extensively on various color 3D targets and animal hides, and, combined with +/-1-degree angle accuracy, it leaves no doubt about a bowhunter’s precise range to target.

“The new Broadhead is the most accurate rangefinder I have ever tested,” said professional archer and world record holder Tim Gillingham. “Bushnell brought me in on the development of this model and I couldn’t be more excited to add it to my gear. The processor is super repeatable and the reticle is really clean no matter the lighting condition”

Beyond 150 yards, the Broadhead can range animals out to 500 yards, trees out to 800 yards, and has a max range of 1,500 yards on reflective targets with 1 yard accuracy. Read more
