Default eastman 3-dot scope and dial a range question ?

Does anyone know with a horton steel force 150 recurve , if the eastman 3-dot scope would work with the dial a range ?

im thinkin if i site it inat zero or one , that the dial a range will just be like adding 5 yards to every click after sighting it in , but i have a feeling im wrong ? ? ? any help ?

IMHO, you would be mixing apples w/ oranges. the dial-a-range is for single aim point devices. In other words a single red dot or single xhair scope. The three dot red dot is for three ranges already, usually around 20,30, and 40. The dial-a-range is also called the dial-a-rage as the rope cockers tend to want to move the dial on ya. Some guys have pinned it solid and use multi aim point devices like a compensating scope or three dot red dot. Hope this helps.

Ditto on what Dan said. Also did not know the steel force came with that on it?

I meant the Dial A Range thing. If you have that then I would use a single dot IMO.
