I have never shot into a 3-D target but many do with crossbows. In Ontario Canada, there are many 3-D coarses that allow crossbows on a daily basis. I believe that the misinformation of that crossbows destroy tragets was only put forth to try and stop crossbows, not out of accurate information.

The Right Stuff package does have everything that you might or will need to be able to go out hunting. Now with the varizone scope, it is the same scope as the lumizone, but it DOES NOT HAVE THE LIGHTED RETICALS, it has the normal reticals, lines and chevrons for markers. Both scopes are great for crossbows.

I always recomend people that are just starting, and getting an Excalibur to get the Right stuff package because it has quality needed stuff for the basic hunter or shooter. BUt I would personally get my stuff seperately because I have used crossbows for a very long time and know exactly what I want. Even today, I see knew things and want to adjust what I have, like the Lumizone to replace my regular scope (I would even like the varizone over what I have). I have also just picked up some TRACER KNOCKS for my arrows (but have not tested them out of the bow yet). You see, you will be able to adjust what you use or have after you get use to the bow and you get to know what you actually what, but the RIGHT STUFF package is a great starting point for a biginner.

IF you would prefur the Lumizone over the Varizone scope, then I would put in the time and get things seperately.

Good luck and enjoy.
