How slope works on this model
The Pro XE 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 Slope Switch controls slope mode. Bushnell’s manual shows slope on with the red indicator exposed and slope off with the red indicator hidden.
With slope enabled, the display can show percent grade plus a Play As compensated distance below the normal line-of-sight distance.
While slope mode is enabled, press Mode to toggle Elements on or off. Elements adds air-pressure and temperature inputs to the compensated distance.
The Pro XE returns to the last mode used after shutdown.
Tournament use
The Pro XE 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 appears to stay on after restarting
The Pro XE defaults back to the last mode used after shutdown, so check the Slope Switch and Elements setting rather than expecting a reset.
Play As distance looks different with Elements
Elements can factor air pressure and temperature into the compensated distance in addition to slope.
Not sure slope is off
Check the physical Slope Switch. The official manual shows the red slope indicator exposed for slope on and hidden for slope off.
Slope-adjusted distance is not appearing
Confirm slope is enabled using Physical Slope-Switch, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.

Bushnell Pro XE slope FAQ
Does the Bushnell Pro XE have slope?
Yes. It is listed with Slope with Elements.
What does Elements do on the Bushnell Pro XE?
With slope enabled, Elements can add air pressure and temperature to the compensated-distance calculation.
Does the Pro XE remember its mode?
Yes. Bushnell states that after shutdown it returns to the last mode used.
How is slope controlled on the Bushnell Pro XE?
The published control is Physical Slope-Switch.
Is the Bushnell Pro XE tournament legal?
The Pro XE 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 XE?
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.
