First the good,... It is compact and lightweight. Easy to carry and use. Read the manual and apply the data that is given and chances of successful hunts should be exponentially increased. The bad,... It will not get a range if it has to be used through glass since glass is a solid object (get out of your vehicle). Overall I rate this 4 stars and it is a good way to get an idea of how far an object is away from you and what distance and angle is needed to overcome it. It will range reliably up to 1000 yards (1 km) in good conditions (slightly cloudy day).

Had this unit for app. 3 weeks. Good clarity, yardage seems accurate. Won't range through blind shoot through mesh, old Nikon would. During a recent hunt had some very lite fog would not give a yardage. On occasion in brush mode in the fog would get a reading but it was not accurate. Want to continue to use during other types of weather conditions before giving a complete review..

This is my second rangefinder purchase. I love my original Bushnell Yardage Pro Compact 600 and have never had a problem with it but I've had it for 11 years and the ARC feature wasn't available at that time. I hunt primarily with a bow and the ARC feature is why I bought the Scout 1000. I feel that it will be a great addition for my hunting from a tree stand. Taking the guess work out of angled shots will be great for my confidence when the shot presents itself. Bushnell makes a great rangefinder and the Scout 1000 appears to be well made and works as described. The only things that I would complain about is that I wear glasses and the lens is set too far away from my eye to get a full field of view with them on, so I either have to remove my glasses or be content with only seeing a small center view. However, I can see what I need to and can work around that. It is a little frustrating that the operating manual says to fold the eyepiece down for glasses wearers but it doesn't have a fold down eye piece on the unit, I'm not sure what they are talking about there. The ARC feature in this unit is only good for 60 degrees angle up or down where as the Legend 1200 and some other units on the market are good to 89 or even a full 90 degrees. I wasn't aware of that when I bought it otherwise I may have spent the extra dollars for the 1200. However, I don't foresee a need for any shots at angles steeper than 60 degrees but you never know for sure where the animal will present itself, the extra angle of the 1200 would be worth the difference in price if you expect shots nearly straight up or down. The lens of the Scout 1000 are coated with Raingard which will also be a nice addition in foul weather. All in all I feel that it is a great range finder for the money and recommend it to anyone who wants the ARC feature but doesn't want to spend a small fortune to get it.Read full review
I Iike the range finder, but I wish the cross hairs and the letters would light up in a different color then black. A little hard to see in low light or with dark back drops. Everything else is great. Great size and super easy to use.

While I haven't actually used this on a hunt yet I have used it extensively setting up targets and practicing with it. It appears to be very easy to use, accurate and fast. The only thing I have noticed is that I have a hard time getting ranges at longer distances (400yards +)I love the ARC technology as I bow hunt and rifle hunt. The ballistics table showing bullet drop really saves me a lot of time, and the shoot for reading in bow hunting mode is fantastic. Now if they could just figure out how to make it do windage also! Over all I am very pleased with the Scout 1000 and consider it a good investment for the price.
