Default RE: Crossbow

Lefty, that's why I asked what sight was on it. I would highly recommend putting a scope base on it and a 3 dot Red Dot. I work in a store where we sell Ten Points. I can't pull it off the top of my head, but I'm almost certain that they make a scope base that bolts right on. It's basically a 7/8" Weaver base so will accept any Weaver style rings. And you don't have to buy an expensive Red Dot for it. If you can live with a single dot then you should be able to put a Simmons, Tasco, oir BSA on it for about $50 or less. The base will most likely cost $30 to $35. So ballpark it should be $75 to $100.

Then once mounted, all you do is sight it in for about 27 yards. This should give you decent shooting on anything out to 35 yards. And some will argue this but they aren't much good, or at least intended to be shot much more than 40 yards anyway, The bolts just drop like mortar shells after 35 yards.

Hope this helps ya some. If you're close to aGander Mountain store stop in. I work at the one in Harrisburg, Pa so I know they should be able to fit you up. Good luck.
