Your CABELA’S VLR II by BUSHNELL®is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of
enjoyment. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining its adjustments
and features as well as how to care for this precise laser rangefinding instrument. To ensure optimal
performance and longevity, please read these instructions before using your Cabela’s VLR II.
The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell features ARC (Angle Range Compensation) which compensates for
extreme up and down angle, providing bow-hunters true distance range from 5-99 yards. The vertical
unit is small enough to fit in your hand and in a shirt pocket and delivers instantaneous distance readings
from 5 yard minimum all the way to 999 yards on reflective objects (300 yards on deer sized animals
and 600 yards to trees) with extreme +/- One yard accuracy.

HOW IT WORKS
The Cabela’s VLR II by Bushnell emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Advanced Digital
microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and
accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by
measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.
RANGING ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the VLR II is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The
maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for
most objects is 600 yards / 549 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 999 yards /
914 meters. Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective

properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object
is being measured.
The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the
color, the longer the range. White is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the
color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small
target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to
a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted
energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In
addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit.
The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit’s maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny
days will decrease the unit’s maximum range.

GETTING STARTED
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Remove the battery cap with a coin by rotating the cap counter clockwise and insert a 3-volt lithium
battery into the compartment positive end first, then replace the battery cap.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 12 months.
Low Battery Indicator: If the “ ” is displayed within the in-view readout, this means “low battery” or
battery charge is getting low and the 3-volt lithium battery should be replaced.

ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
Your VLR II is constructed with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus
the LCD display relative to the image. For users without eyeglasses, simply rotate the eyepiece until the
reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye. If you wear glasses, place the eyepiece up to
your glasses and rotate the eyepiece until the reticle and object distanced to are in focus to your eye.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
While looking through the 5x eyepiece, depress the power button once to activate the in-view Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD). Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at
least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near
the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is
being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs

surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no
longer being transmitted). Note: Once activated, the LCD will remain active and display the last distance
measurement for 30 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new
target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of
time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 10 seconds. To re-fire,
press the button down again.
OPTICAL DESIGN
Magnification and Coatings
The VLR II features 5x magnification and fully coated optics. A liquid crystal display (LCD) is mounted
within the optical system and when activated, displays a reticle for targeting and a yards indicator.
Inherent in the manufacturing process are small black spots that appear in the optical system. These are
VLRII_1LIM.indd 8 7/11/08 9:00:28 AM

a natural characteristic of the LCD and cannot be fully eliminated in the manufacturing process. They
do not affect the distancing performance of the unit.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) INDICATORS
Your VLR II LCD incorporates illuminated indicators that advise the user unit of measure, when the laser
is actively firing, when a target has been acquired, BullsEye™ targeting mode, and Bow mode.
A summary of these features is presented below:
UNIT OF MEASURE OPTIONS
The VLR II provides distance in yards (indicated within the LCD to right of the main distance readout
as Y).

ACTIVE LASER
Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being
transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power
button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power
button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).
BullsEye™ (LCD Indicator - )
The VLR II was especially designed with hunters in mind and will always function with BullsEye mode on.
This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of small targets and game without inadvertently getting
distances to background targets that have stronger signal strength. When
more than one object has been acquired, distance of the closer object will be
displayed and a crosshair will surround the BullsEye™ indicator informing the
user that distance to the closer object is being displayed in the LCD.
