Lumi Zone Scope?

Lumi Zone Scope?
Can someone tell me if the Lumi Zone Scope good in low light shots? Dose it light up on all the yardage points? Is the lighted points clear when you turn the scope on? Would you say its worth getting to make that low light shot. would you recommend this Scope? The Vari zone Scope in low light, just foreget about shooting the hunt is over. You can't see the crosshairs.

I have both and the lumi is a little better. I can see just fine through both. Once it's too dark to see through the scope, then it's time to go home anyway.
What's ya shooting on the Island?

lumizone
I love my lumizone but will probably never use the illumination anyway.
It has the largest objective lense of any crossbow scope I have ever seen and therefore is a "brighter" scope in lower light conditions than all others.
I find the crosshairs blinding when on in low light and when hunting at ground level they are illuminated from the opposite end too!! Don't need anything else to spook those big bucks in my opinion. The only time I may see a use would be a darker target such as Black bear or wild boar neither of which i've had the opportunity to hunt yet so I'm just speculating.
Are you hunting wild pigs or what out there in Hawaii ?

lumizone
i had both the varizone and lumizone.during last 1/2 hr i turned on the scope on.i hunt dark areas and it worked well.for last 10 minutes i had to turn it off as it would take out the target. i found it easier to pull up on a deer,and see the crosshairs lite up on the deer.when not lit ,looks like the varizone scope,you can see all the lines in the scope

Lumizone Scope
I have this scope and like it very much. The intensity of the red crosshairs/chevrons is adjustable making it great for low light through to bright sunlight. It certainly allows to superimpose the crosshair/chevrons onto the deer in those last few minutes of shooting time.
I recommend it.

Axis Deer.........
Marlinchester, Its AXIS DEER....And boy it is GOOD. They like to come out right when you can see them and you can't see your crosshairs. and I can't take it anymore. So I'd order one from Dan Miller. Now if I can see them. Its to bad so sad, suck to be them........You can't gril it, till you kill it.
I hunt to eat. Thanks for all the info guys.............

I've gone back and forth on this one. Have two Lumis and a Hawke MAP without light. Lumis are bigger but have adjustable aim point to match the trajectory of the arrow. The slightly larger objective bell does transmit more light and gives a larger field of view. The lighted reticule will give you approximately 10 minutes more of shooting time; but won't help you find the deer you shot in the dark. Now, if I can't clearly see the spot I want to hit, I don't shoot, regardless of which sight I'm using. Close enough isn't good enough in this case.
