Default RE: CROSSBOW SCOPES

Wide field of view at 10 yards? I question the need of any rifle type scope with magnificationto be used atcrossbow hunting shotranges of 30 to 35 yards. Looking through a scope with magnification at 10 yards in very low light conditions IMHO is, to a certain extent, a handicap. Keep in mind we are not talking about a 75to 100 yard shot across a field. In very close range low light shooting conditions,a zero magnification reflex sight with adjustable intensityilluminateddot is a good as it gets (shooting with both eyes open). With both eyes open, FOV is not an issue, both eyes are seeing the same image so depth perception and target acquisition are as good as it gets and you save a substantial amount of uneeded weight in the process. Holding on target is also easier with zero magnification when taking off hand hunting shots.
