thanks for info,
just for heck of it i am going to use the dial a range for 30 yds and see what happens ....
Sproul: Either solution, yours or Jasons will probably solve your problems. I'm constantly amazed by those Excal scopes doing exactly what they advertise. Also have a Leupold VX II 2xX7x w/ xbow reticles that does the same only it's ring is not graduated in fps. If you do decide on Excal scope, my advice would be to fix the dial-a-rage permanent in one position. From what I've read, it's a simple process involving a longer screw and a wood dowel and is easily reversible.
i know, that dial-a -range is set on mine for 20 yds,everytime i pull the string back,it moves it to no.1 position..
i painted it white so i know to move it back to no.2....
something else to worry about...
i feel , and you folks are EXPERTS,not me on crossbows that way we look into scope and how we hold it EACH shot has a lot to do on where the arrow hits...
i know if i hold bow lightly, it will hit 2 inchs high off rest..
if i hold it firm and concentrate,bullseye...
if i look into scope a little off,it will hit different than if i make sure my eye is dead on center...so, i am finding out crossbow is NOT as accurate over 20 yds as i felt earlier,i am learning too....
i believe that many problems are shooter...
also i feel shooting over 35 yds is something we should never try on deer..
in fact, 30 yds is where i would put my limit..
thanks for info,i did try the dial-a -range at 30 yds and it hit dead center,as hotnurn said, it must be 30 yd hair is not accurate,yet 20 yd one with it set at no.3 worked fine...
