How slope works on this model

The Tour X JOLT uses Slope-adjusted distance.

The laser first measures the direct line-of-sight distance. The slope system then uses elevation information to estimate a playing distance.

Uphill shots generally receive a longer adjusted distance than the direct reading; downhill shots generally receive a shorter adjusted distance.

Slope control and display behavior

Bushnell’s Exchange Technology uses interchangeable faceplates: attach the red faceplate to enable Slope +/- and the black faceplate to remove slope-compensated ranging.

In Slope +/- mode the viewfinder initially shows dashes to indicate the mode is active.

Range the target with POWER, then continue holding POWER for about two seconds while keeping the aiming circle steady so the inclinometer can measure slope.

After release, the Tour X displays the slope angle and compensated play-as distance beneath the standard distance.

Tournament use

The Tour X JOLT is listed as tournament legal with its non-slope faceplate fitted.

Slope troubleshooting

Slope data is not appearing

Confirm the red Slope faceplate is attached. The black faceplate removes the Slope +/- function.

Only the normal distance appears

After obtaining the range, keep holding POWER for about two seconds while holding the reticle steady so the inclinometer can calculate slope.

Need the tournament configuration

Fit the black non-slope faceplate. Bushnell designed Exchange Technology so the slope function is removed in this configuration.

Compensated distance changes between readings

Keep the same aim point and hold the unit steady long enough for the inclinometer to measure the angle consistently.

Using slope correctly

Before competition, check the Faceplate and confirm the Tour X JOLT is in its non-slope configuration.
During practice, compare direct distance and adjusted distance on obvious uphill and downhill targets so you learn how much the model changes the playing number.
Tournament use is shown here as Yes — non-slope faceplate. The competition’s Local Rules still take priority.

Bushnell Tour X JOLT slope FAQ

Does the Bushnell Tour X JOLT have slope?

Yes. It is listed with Slope-adjusted distance.

How is slope controlled on the Bushnell Tour X JOLT?

The slope system is controlled with Bushnell Exchange Technology: red faceplate for Slope +/- and black faceplate for the non-slope configuration.

Is the Bushnell Tour X JOLT tournament legal?

The Tour X JOLT is listed as tournament legal with its non-slope faceplate fitted.

What does slope do on the Bushnell Tour X JOLT?

It combines direct laser distance with elevation information to estimate an adjusted playing distance.

Why can adjusted distance differ from direct distance?

Direct distance is the line-of-sight measurement. The adjusted value estimates how the elevation change alters the effective playing distance.
