how does scope adjust for arrow speed.

You simply have to find out how the difference in the lines equates to your crossbow speed. My crossbow flies at 340 fps. On my crossbow I sighted in the second line at 30 yards. I then shot my crossbow at different yardages until I found out what the other lines equated to in distance. On mine the first line wound up being 20 yards, my third line 36 yards my fourth line 47 yards and my 5th at 59 yards. Works pretty well. Took a deer over the weekend at 40 yards. I used my third line and aimed just a little bit high and scored a perfect hit.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.

Depending on your bow I sight first reticle at 30yrds. Then ten yrds for all the rest. Great scope I am hunting with it this morning. I have killed three deer with it this year.

The scope doesn't adjust for arrow speed. You have to play with it to figure out the best way to shoot it in for your bow. The scope is rated for a 300 fps bow. The instructions say shoot the top line in for 10yds. My bow is 360fps, so I shot the top line in for 20yds. When I moved back to 30yds and used the second line it shot a little high. So what I did was adjust the scope so the second line was dead on at 30yds. then I shot at 20yds, it was 1 inch high. At 10yds it's about 1 1/2 inches high. Then I shot at 40 using the third line...dead on, then 50 using the forth line... dead on, and the fifth line is dead on at about 57yds. I hope this helps answer your question.

It has a 5 step graduated horizontal line reticle. So I sight my zero in at the most likely range for my target, and then do the testing at different distances for a "seat of the pants" adjustment for targets at different distances. I just use it with a mini crossbow, so there are a bunch of uncertaities as important as the scope I have to contend with. With a good bow it should be adequate.

Greg, I sighted the scope in at 10 yd increments and it is holding true it is on a Barnett Jackal using Horton aluminum bolts with 100 grain mechanical broad heads. FYI the red/green illumination function failed on a hunting trip last week. The scope is one (1) year old. The customer service people are working with me on resolving the problem. I have 3 other UTG scopes over 2 years old and have had no problems with the R/G function. Two are on high high power air rifles.

It doesn't. You have to sight in each individual reticle line. once you sight in at 20 yds the rest is easy.

Hi, it does not have an adjustable objective, and for me, it is better. Some scopes have it in the front and some in the form of a side wheel. In this scope, Id say that from 4 to 9 or 10 you dont have to adjust anything. I you move from 6 to 12, for example, you have to correct with the eyepiece. I have mine on a Marlin 17 XT-17 hmr and I usually have it adjusted at x12 power, so I dont correct it much. Great scope for the price. Hope it helps!

A stright scope is quicker to spot with... especially At a moving target such as a goat at long range.

NO, after you mount the scope fire a test round at the target. That will tell you if you need to adjust the scope up, down or sideways. For instance my first round was 3'' higher than the 1" target so I adjusted the scope using the top adjustment (remove the plastic cover by unscrewing it) adjusting it in the down arrow direction two clicks after each shot until it was on target. The side adjustment is if the round is off target sideways, use the same one or two clicks to adjust until on target. Hope this helps, papa john

I am not in that field so I do not know but the scope performs well for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Try sighting in at the 30 yard shot first using the second cross hair. Once you are hitting bullseye at 30 yds, then go back to 20 yd shot and see how arrows are placing?

The knobs correspond with the direction on it... Right is right and up is up. Opposite of a typical scope where you move the knob left to go right ect...

Not a clue. You can try going to 'mouse properties' and speeding up mouse by moving speed lever all the way over.

Hi Bob, the good news is that you generally need to be concerned with parallax settings when using highly magnified scopes, at long ranges, in situations requiring ultra-precision (think completion targets). For a better explanation than I can give see the following http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/what-is-parallax-2.php

Its all about the mounting height of the magnifier and the red dot. That being said, as long as you get them close, the magnifier does have internal adjustments.

Depends on which arrow you use. Average is 333 fps and 180# draw weight. I have one and it's awesome.

the way I adjusted was to set my target at 25 yards and O at one inch low. I can best explain the reticle as an upside down Christmas tree, I used the base IE. of the Christmas tree cross as my impact point for aiming, at 25 yards the ark of the bullet is almost nill but at 100 yards it seems to hit right on. and it saves a ;oy of rounds for sight in I use this same method for all my high-power rifles and it has yet to fail. I really didn't get the info that came with the scope or just how the numbering was meant to be used, sorry I'm not much help let me know if you can figure the numbers out, Good LuckVirg the way I adjusted was to set my target at 25 yards and O at one inch low.

Check your alignment. If all that checks out then u need to make sure your bow has a hihh enough bow speed for the sight to work properly...you can either have the bow shop chrono it for you...has to be a minimum of 240 fps for the react to work properly...or you can increase the poundage a little if you can ...thats what I had to do to get it tuned properly...but once I got it set its awesome

There is focus adjustment on the back end for adjusting ranges ... set it a 50 yards and mid-magnification and adjust if I need to for really close and over 100

One click should equal one inch at 100 yds, the knob should be neither tight or loose when rifle is sighted in. Love this scope I haven't had any problems with it.

It's very easy to adjust, smooth action. Level work great. I have this sight on my bow and so does my son. Very good sight.

Yes that is uncommon. I believe the scope is 3 MOA,( 3minutes of angle. ) This means when the red dot is put on target at 100 yards you should be within 3 inches of where you aimed.
