Default RE: crossbow recoil?

Well fellas , it does happen for sure.....!
My dad left here the past weekend with a bloody " rite between the eye's".....gotcha. Happens every year to him.
Yeppp , this was from his Horton Super Max 175 and the Horton multi scope.

The scope is trash....we tried zeroing it in at 20 yards , was shooting about 2 inches to the left of center.....I adjusted it.....took 360 degrees clicks from where I started to bring it back on center....finally got it shooting "rite on".
Mind you , this is bench rested.

The next day we shot it again....now it's shooting 2 inches to the right.....unreal......time for a new scope. Just won't stabilize, no happy medium.
To top things off , my dad has sent this Horton xbow back to the Horton factory 7 times.....yes 7 times.....last time they replaced the limbs.
Customer service is great.....but what good is it if they can't fix their own products. Now I guess my dad gotta send the scope back. This Horton xbow has been a " nightmare".....period.
This is not to bash Horton , as I know there are many happy Horton shooters out there that are quite satisfied.
My dad REFUSES to shoot my EXOCET 200 anymore.....says it spoils him too much when he has to shoot his Horton again.
