Default Bushnell Sport

I got it last Wed. when I opened it and looked through it I thought it was a defect.It was clear to about 50 yards then from there out it was kind of blurry so I call them back and they said they would send a new one.Well I got the new on today and it seemed a little better but not much.I guess that is why they are cheaper than the rest.Anyways,I tried it out and it works great,seems to be very accurate,ranges down to 6 yards.Very simple to use.I will only use it for bowhunting so I will only range to about 40 yards and maybe use it to sight in my rifles at further distances.But if I were buying one to shoot far with a gun I would spend the extra bucks and get a better one.But for bowhunting it will work just fine.

Thanks for warning. Hope you get good usage out of it. When you bought it, did it say what yardage it went to?

JPS,

I would say that your post is a fair summary of the Sport. The optics aren't top notch but I think that is what you get with one of the inexpensive "Permafocus" setups. I really haven't had any blurring problems exactly, though I will agree that it isn't a crisp image at farther distances.

But, if I was going to range longer distances then I probably would have bought the Pro 400, 600 or 800.

Like your last statement said...."for bowhunting it will work just fine"....

Whew! I just ordered mine yesterday. Man am I glad this wasn't total ripping on this unit. I'm using mine for bowhunting too and only need a good 40 yards.

I like my sport. i use it for Bow hunting but if I had to do over I would buy a unit that mounts right on my bow. Alot less hassle. I think when your bow hunting deer.
