RE: Hawke Crossbow Scope video
Well, without starting an argument, no, it is a fixed power so it is not "adjustable" but neither is any other scope really. Excal and Truglo have the ability to adjust the magnification so it changes how the target appears. If you visualy draw the target closer you "tighten up" the crosshairs for faster bows. The issue is that if you have a fast bow you have to deal with a high magnification/narrow field of view scope where at close ranges can be a pain where all you may see of your target is a mass of brown. This particular scope has a very wide field of view and the manufacture has a very cool program you can download to figure out what impact distances your particular bow/arrow combination is. It would be nice to have adjustable crosshairs, but with some of these very fast bows the crosshairs would be so close together as to be useless. One thing to keep in mind is that everyone wants that 20/30/40 spacing and in reality very few bows will achieve this exactly with a scope that is not designed for a particular bow. However, if you look at actual trajectory what ends up happening is that "true impact points" may be 20/33/45 for example but the varience isso small that you can easily say that you can hit center at 20/30/40. For example say your bow is dead on at 45yrds with the third line of your scope. At 40yrds it may be 1.5" higher than at 45yrds. If you shoot a 2" group then you have a .5" varience at that distance so your arrows will still group within that circle at 40yrds. Some will be a bit high, but for all practical purposes it is still within that 2" circle.
