I'm sure Mr. Vortex will love the company. I like the sight. Have you used the sight before or is it new to you?

It's from my 22 handgun, where it worked very well. Thought I'd give it a try. It's got four reticules, two dots (2 and 4 moa) a crosshair and dot and circle.
Shhots great at 25 yards Will try the latter two for trajectory tomorrow. Midway has them on sale for $49.

Barska Update.

All four reticules seem to shoot to a different spot. Not by much but off. The good thing is that the crosshair reticule can be used for trajectory shots. When sighted dead on at 25 yards, the bottom tip of the crosshair post results in hits about 2" high of aimpoint at 35 yards. Close enough. I'm giving up considerable precision by not using a LumiZone but this rig is light and fast pointing. I'll stand hunt with the faster bows and still hunt with the Phoenix.

I admire your taste W8, but at $499 the Leupi red dot costs $60 more than I paid for the bow!. This was supposed to be a low priced project.....my second bow in 2 months.
