Well, I went to Idaho this November for a deer hunt. The first place I glassed I found a 7x8 buck with three does. He was across a canyon but shootable with the correct range. I pulled out my Bushnell Elite 1500 with ARC and pushed the button.....no number reading. Everything else worked. I have used it for several years and have gotten a lot of long readings. Even past 1600 yards. 1300 on a bush next to a deer once and 909 on a deer once. It has been a good unit til now. I used it the week before on a friend's cow elk without any problem. When I needed it nothing!! :bash:
Anyway..just E-mailed Bushnell to find out what they will do for me. Just want it repaired we will see if I get a response.

were you able to get close enough to get the deer without the RF?
-
Makes me sick to talk about it. :'( No way to get closer. In the middle,of a burn on the other side.

Good luck....I sent in a pair of trophys with lifetime warranty and they offered a discount to repair them for a new pair :bash:

Did you try a fresh battery?

Second the fresh battery, and the good luck. Years ago I bought four range finding binoculars, three at a bargain cave, and they finally started to stop working. I sent one in to Bushnell, the response: sorry but we no longer carry parts for that model, here's a coupon for a new model.... Of course, the coupon wasn't even as good as I could find at multiple locations online. >:(

:yeah: that's what my letter said also...this is why I'm going to vortex now

It really makes me give a second thought to buying another Bushnell rangefinder even though the price point of theirs is better. :(
