How slope works on this model
The Pro XM 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.
Slope control and display behavior
The Pro XM uses a lockable slope control: Slope switch with lockout. This is intended to reduce accidental activation.
With slope enabled, the rangefinder uses elevation information to provide an adjusted playing-distance estimate in addition to the direct laser measurement.
The listed display is Red/Green OLED. The dataset does not publish the exact slope icon or screen layout for this model, so the official manual should be used for the precise indicator.
Visual JOLT + vibration confirms target acquisition; it should not be treated as confirmation that slope is on or off.
Tournament use
The Pro XM is listed as tournament legal when slope compensation is disabled. Confirm the non-slope setting before the first tee.
Slope troubleshooting
Slope-adjusted distance is not appearing
Confirm slope is enabled using Slope switch with lockout, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.
Slope will not turn off
Return the Pro XM to its non-slope setting using Slope switch with lockout. 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 Red/Green OLED, but the exact slope screen layout is not published in the dataset. Use the model manual for the indicator/key.

Bushnell Pro XM slope FAQ
Does the Bushnell Pro XM have slope?
Yes. It is listed with Slope with Elements.
How is slope controlled on the Bushnell Pro XM?
The published control is Slope switch with lockout.
Is the Bushnell Pro XM tournament legal?
The Pro XM is listed as tournament legal when slope compensation is disabled. Confirm the non-slope setting before the first tee.
What does slope do on the Bushnell Pro XM?
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.
