How slope works on this model

The Pro X3 uses Slope with Elements.

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.

This model’s Elements specification indicates that the compensated result can use additional environmental inputs beyond elevation alone.

Official model-specific slope controls

The Pro X3 uses a locking Slope-Switch designed to reduce accidental activation of slope during tournament play.

Slope with Elements combines Bushnell slope compensation with temperature and altitude inputs.

Home Elevation can be set so Elements compensation reflects the elevation where you normally play.

Tournament use

The Pro X3 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-adjusted distance is not appearing

Confirm slope is enabled using Locking Slope-Switch, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.

Slope will not turn off

Return the Pro X3 to its non-slope setting using Locking Slope-Switch. Confirm the setting before competition.

Adjusted distance changes between readings

Re-acquire the same part of the target. A different aim point or measured angle can change the compensated result even when direct distance changes little.

Not sure which number is adjusted

The listed display is Dual Display red/black, but the exact slope screen layout is not published in the dataset. Use the model manual for the indicator/key.

Using slope correctly

Before competition, check the Locking Slope-Switch and confirm the Pro X3 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 mode. The competition’s Local Rules still take priority.
The model is listed as IPX7. Keep the slope/mode control area clean after wet-weather use so switches or buttons remain easy to operate.

Bushnell Pro X3 slope FAQ

Does the Bushnell Pro X3 have slope?

Yes. It is listed with Slope with Elements.

Why does the Bushnell Pro X3 have a locking slope switch?

The locking mechanism is designed to reduce the chance of accidentally putting the unit into slope mode during tournament play.

What does Slope with Elements add on the Pro X3?

It adds temperature and altitude inputs to Bushnell’s compensated-distance calculation and supports a Home Elevation setting.

How is slope controlled on the Bushnell Pro X3?

The published control is Locking Slope-Switch.

Is the Bushnell Pro X3 tournament legal?

The Pro X3 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 Pro X3?

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.
