The Bushnell R5 Broadhead 2.0 Laser Rangefinder (Model: BUR52000BH, MPN: R5-2000BH) is a highly precise optical tool engineered specifically for archers, bowhunters, and short-to-mid-range target shooters. Equipped with a 6x magnification system and a 25mm objective lens, this compact unit provides rapid and reliable distance measurements in the field. Built to withstand challenging outdoor environments, the Ranger Green housing features an IPX4 water-resistant rating, while the advanced ActivSync display ensures your readings remain highly visible in any lighting condition.

• ActivSync Display Technology: This system automatically transitions the reticle color from black in bright, direct sunlight to a red illuminated readout in low-light environments, ensuring maximum readability at dawn, dusk, or under thick canopy cover.
• Angle Range Compensation (ARC): Calculates true horizontal distance rather than just line-of-sight, accounting for steep uphill or downhill angles commonly encountered in rugged terrain or elevated tree stands.
• Rapid and Precise Ranging: Delivers high-speed distance calculations in just 0.3 seconds, boasting an accuracy tolerance of +/- 0.3 yards (approx. 0.27 metres) out to 150 yards.
• EXO Barrier and Fog Mode: The external lenses are protected by a molecularly-bonded EXO Barrier that repels water, oil, dust, and debris. An integrated Fog Mode allows the laser to penetrate ambient mist and condensation for reliable readings.
• Australian-Friendly Metrics: The on-board software allows users to easily toggle between Imperial (Yards) and Metric (Metres) units to align with Australian mapping, hunting, and target standards.

Technical Specifications

Who It's For

The Bushnell Broadhead 2.0 is specifically designed for Australian bowhunters, 3D target archers, and short-to-mid-range hunters who require absolute precision. Its extreme accuracy within 150 yards makes it an invaluable tool for bowhunters where a few inches of drop can alter a shot. It is also highly suited for hunters navigating steep gully systems or the Victorian High Country, where the Angle Range Compensation (ARC) calculates correct horizontal distance. Its light weight, compact form factor, and simple one-handed operation make it an ideal companion for active stalking in dense scrub or open woodlands.
