Bounty Hunter Quick Draw Pro: Real Control at a Starter Price
There is a moment in every detectorist's first season when the preset machine starts feeling like training wheels: it chatters in one park, misses obvious targets in another, and you cannot do anything about it. The Quick Draw Pro is the cheapest Bounty Hunter that hands you the actual controls: manual ground balance, adjustable sensitivity, and a real 0 to 99 digital target ID.
Why the Quick Draw Pro
The full digital interface shows target ID and depth at a glance, and 3-tone audio discrimination lets your ears pre-sort targets while your eyes rest. The 10 in (25 cm) waterproof concentric coil covers noticeably more ground than the 8 in coils below it in the line, with the fast recovery speed that matters in trashy parks where a can slaw signal sits an inch from a silver dime. Manual ground balance is the sleeper feature: mineralized dirt that forces preset machines to be detuned is simply workable here. Big-box shelves carry this machine with a bare feature list; what they do not tell you is where it sits: one honest step below the Land Ranger Pro (which adds the 11 in DD coil and 4-tone audio for $43 more), and one big step above the preset entry machines. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Quick Draw Pro add over entry Bounty Hunters?
Manual ground balance, a 0-99 digital target ID, a bigger 10 in (25 cm) coil, and pinpoint mode. Those are the controls that preset starter machines lock away.
Is the coil waterproof?
Yes, the 10 in (25 cm) concentric coil is waterproof for shallow water; the control housing must stay dry.
Quick Draw Pro or Land Ranger Pro?
The Land Ranger Pro adds an 11 in DD coil and 4-tone audio for $43 more. Trashy sites and bigger fields favor the Land Ranger Pro; for most parks and yards the Quick Draw Pro does the job.
Is it good for a first detector?
Yes. It runs out of the box like a starter, and the manual controls mean you will not need a second detector the month your skills catch up.
What does manual ground balance do?
It tunes the detector to your soil's mineralization, keeping depth and stability in ground that makes preset machines chatter or go blind.
