They look great, but I think the Excal lumizone is cheaper, not sure though. But if ya give it a try I think you would be our first to do so.

I had a cheap Simmons red dot onmy Horton Supermag once, at least I think it was a Simmons, could be wrong. But it also had drifting issues from time to time to.

Simmons- it's not rugged enough for the beating a crossbow dishes out. Spend a few $ more. Buy one with a xbow manufacturers name on it.

I have never had one! I know 2 guys that have them at 3-D shoot. One guy has had lots of trouble and got rid of his. The other keeps sending his in to be repaired. Not what i call a great track record.

I have had one for a couple of months I have it on a Parker 150lb. it gathers some light and the illumination works but when I turned it on last night after hunting I noticed moister inside the scope after a short period of time it mostly went away it hasn't been out in the rain so I will be keeping an eye Ha on it I will say this it's almost impossible to get in touch with anyone at the distributorship in Texas they seem to have had problems with all these chinese scopes no matter which one you buy the Tru Glo is bumping 200 bucks is it worth it service and quality wise I don't think so as in all optics you get what you pay for I thought 200 was a lot for a crossbow scope I guess there are some really top of the line scopes out there if you want to pay the price

My opinion is fer $130 Lumizone is much more reasonable and they replace them with a new one if you have trouble. They all seem to have trouble. Never had any trouble out of my rifle scope on Phoenix.I am fixing to put it on Miss Vixen cause its much better in low light than the 4x on her now.
