Workaround

Instead of using multiple distances in a single buffer, make individual buffers for each distance. For example: 1 buffer = 100 yards, 2nd buffer = 200 yards, 3rd buffer = 300 yards. Although they are all different feature layers, when all turned on together, they represent correct measured buffers as multiple rings.
