    Anyone with one of these might be able to help.


    It wont go into rifle or bow mode only stays in regular mode.

    If i hold the mode button for 5 sec as the manual says it just goes into yard or metre selection and doesnt let me choose rifle mode.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I had a Bushnell Range finder.
    Just gave up the ghost one day.

    Is yours a sealed unit?

    Mine would get stuck on start up mode.

    I believe it's a poor design/design flaw.

    Any item that can not be opened is a throw away item IMvHO.

    I have a Nikon now.
    Stopped measuring over 25 yards recently.

    I opened the screws and troubleshooted the circuitary
    I found a loose component (I dropped it once) I pushed back into position and bobs yer uncle.


    It sounds like the sensor of your mode button is fecked. I still have the old Bushnell at home somewhere, I went to several RFD's to no avail.

    So I bought a Nikon:cool:
