I am a compound hunter now, but I used a cross before 1995, I had a red dot scope on it do not recall what it was, but if you get one that has a lot ofsetting levels of brightness like 10 or so where at 1 hour before dark you could turn it down to about the no. 2 or 3 setting you can get a finer bead, equals more accuracy. I also would have a fixed sight on the front of the bow where you could line both of them up for excellent accuracy. I this hope information well help you with your question.
