How slope works on this model
The Tour V5 Shift 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.
Official model-specific slope controls
Use the dedicated Slope switch to enable or disable slope-compensated ranging.
With slope enabled, the rangefinder adds a compensated playing distance to the direct laser reading.
Switch slope off before competition when slope-adjusted distance is not permitted.
Tournament use
The Tour V5 Shift is listed as tournament legal when used with slope assistance switched off. Confirm the model is in its permitted non-slope configuration before competitive play.
Slope troubleshooting
Slope distance is not showing
Check the physical Slope switch first. The Tour V5 Shift uses that switch to enable and disable compensated ranging.
Need tournament configuration
Move the Slope switch to the non-slope position and confirm the adjusted-distance information is no longer being shown.
Slope-adjusted distance is not appearing
Confirm slope is enabled using Physical Slope-Switch, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.
Slope will not turn off
Return the Tour V5 Shift to its non-slope setting using Physical Slope-Switch. Confirm the setting before competition.

Bushnell Tour V5 Shift slope FAQ
Does the Bushnell Tour V5 Shift have slope?
Yes. It is listed with Slope-adjusted distance.
How is slope controlled on the Bushnell Tour V5 Shift?
The published control is Physical Slope-Switch.
Is the Bushnell Tour V5 Shift tournament legal?
The Tour V5 Shift is listed as tournament legal when used with slope assistance switched off. Confirm the model is in its permitted non-slope configuration before competitive play.
What does slope do on the Bushnell Tour V5 Shift?
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.
Competition and Local Rules take priority. Model revisions can also change controls or indicators. Confirm the exact non-slope configuration on the official Bushnell website or manual before competitive play. Visit Bushnell.
