Yes I agree and get a decent one from the start. You will enjoy much more time shooting instead of trying to keep it zeroed and sighted. Like I said in an earlier post. I too had a Horton reddot but with the 3 aim points. A scope with a "speed ring" is where it's at. My Vortex is dead on at 20,30,40, and very close at 50yds. Which is fine with me. I don't plan on ever taking a 50yd shot at a deer with my crossbow. At first I was very leary even considering a 40yd shot. But now with my current arrow and string setup and the VariZone scope, if the conditions where ideal and the opportunity was there for the shot, I feel comfortable enough with my self and CB to consider taking a 40yrd shot. I would NEVER have been able to even consider a shot like that with a red dot. Its just not comparable in my opinion.
