Ok guys...help please. I took up archery about three years ago. Last fall I had a two level cervical fusion....end result is no pain but I cannot pull a bow, even at 45=50 pounds. I traded for a Hornton Legend crossbow today. It is zipping a 100 grain razor along at a sluggish 310...boy that auto, crank cocker is nice.

Ouestion: I have a scope with multiple crosshairs...any recommendations as to what distances to sight it in at? Thanks

Most crossbow scopes are calibrated for bows shooting in the 315 fps range, your scope probably has three crosshairs which should fall in nicely with a 20,30 and 40 yd sight in, set your top crosshair for 20 and see if this isn't the case...Excalibur makes a scope that is adjustable for your individual bows speed but most other scope makers use this 315 fps formula................Good luck and enjoy............Hillbilly.
