Wasabi,
Sorry, man! You normally don't get what you DON'T pay for. IMO, existing crossbow specific scopes, both red dot and rifle-type, are just marginal with some being just plain junk. They keep selling them though and for some strange reason that I will never understand, people keep buying them...............and that may be the reason that there are
no premium crossbow specific sights available.
I'm new to xbows. Is this really the case? What should I look for in a sight for my xbow?
Premium as in extreme high end like for the center fire rifles, IMO, also a no. There are no high dollar CB scopes around, not that money is a factor in quality, but you can't expect much from a eighty dollar scope. Most are low end. Excalibur scopes are the only ones I have that do what they say. I have had use with Horton's red dot and there multi reticle and they both where not worth the money IMO. Maybe if I had a bow set up for the multi reticles speeds I would have liked it, but what good does a scope do with more then one aim point if it is wrong. I have no experience with Ten points or other CB brands of scopes so no info there. The Excal Varizone and lumizone are the only ones that I like and do what they say from a CB specific scope line. Horton CB's are fine, but the D-A-R and there optics suck IMO.
