Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Rifle scope on a crossbow?

my question is 'WHY WOULD YOU NOT USE A CROSSBOW SCOPE' there are many good crossbow scope on the market. I shoot a 10 point and the scope that came on it very accurate and clear out to 50-60 yards . it doesn't take much scope scope no father than you are shooting. 2 years ago I changed to a hawke/parker scope only because I bought a bunch of them really cheap that have light reticle. either scope shoots 2" groups at 50 yards on the bench. as long as I know the range i'm good.

The quality of the lenses and features are the first two reason I use a rifle scope on my crossbow.
Bigger objective gives me more light to see the target when it gets darker.
And as with my compound bows and rifles, I practice at longer ranges than I will ever shoot at an animal.

The twilight DLX crossbow scope has a 44mm objective lens, most of my rifles are just 40mm. The glass is just as good of quality as any leupold glass that I own. But the field of view that adjusts to the yardage markers for your specific arrow speed is the real benefit of the scope. Once set, It's effortless, with no adjustment needed in the field at all. Every yardage marker is dead nuts on out to 60 yards (farther than I will attempt to shoot at an animal). The illuminated reticles are also a big plus in low light.
If you have never checked them out you should.
