I just bought a brand new Horton HD 175 crossbow with a scope. This is my first year with a crossbow. I was wondering when shooting in my new bow with the scope, is there anyway of first maybe of bore sighting my scope so I dont loose a buch of bolts. And at what yardage should I start shooting in at. This is all new to me guys so I need some help on this one. Thanks

start off at 10 yards when dead on move back to 20 yards then 30 40 50

hope this helps

I've never been much of a scope user, even on rifles, so I made a basic mistake when setting mine up. I didn't do first things first and get that scope set at the right eye relief for me. And I didn't check it in multiple shooting positions before really settling down to sighting in. I finally noticed myself having to scoot my face backward along the stock just to get a clear view through the scope. After I moved the scope forward, checked eye relief off-hand, sitting and kneeling, and then re-leveled the crosshairs, I was in business. No more problems.

Everything else is all technique. Cocking, loading and shooting form... Make all those as consistent as you can. Use a rest while sighting in. Then do like COP614 said. Start at 10 to make sure you hit the target, then move back to your other distances.

Set the Dial-A-Range in one position [scope parallel to rail] and leave it that way unless you don't have a multiple aim point scope. Use a rope cocker. Watch rope cocker doesn't move D-A-R knob on you. Good Luck!
