FUNCTION 3: BOW MODE
(RX-750 MODEL ONLY)
This mode, when activated, works with TBR to provide the correct ballistics
range for arrows. To activate, navigate through the Quick Set Menu by pressing
MODE until the BOW icon is displayed, then use the POWER button to turn it
on/off. Selecting the BOW Mode automatically deactivates the Rifle Mode. The
displayed range represents the ballistically equivalent horizontal distance to
the target. It incorporates three different groups (A, B, or C) depending on the
particular arrow drop. You must choose one of the three
groups, based on your
bow and arrow performance.
To activate the appropriate ballistics group, BOW must be activated. Once this has
been done, pressing the MODE button will allow you to select the appropriate
ballistics group. GRP (Group) will be shown in the upper display, and the current
ballistics group will be shown in the lower display. Press and release POWER
repeatedly to scroll through the available ballistics groups.
