Hawke Crossbow Scopes
I know that this is an Excaliber web and this question is in no way meant to down grade thier product because Vari and Lumi's are good scopes. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Hawke brand of crossbow scopes and what do they think???

I have a hawke MAP scope on another brand of xbow and like it just fine. I would say it is in the ball park with the varizone on my max ,just a little smaller, but I don't know a whole lot about scopes anyway.
thanks philip

I have a Hawke air rifle scope and it works fine.
I'm not super impressed by it, but for the price it's not a bad scope.

Re: Hawke Crossbow Scopes
I have one
The reticle rotated inside and I need to send it back
I'm sure they will fix or replace it.
Other than that I like it

Re: Hawke Crossbow Scopes
I have the SR model, in black. The MAP is less expensive and is probably what I should have gotten, but the circles inside the SR are very nice. They illuminate, five shades of green or red each, and the circles reflect a 2" circle at the various yardages. This gives range finding ability to it, although I haven't figured out how.
I use the top circle for 20, next down 30, next 40, and last circle 50 yards. There is also a post below that which does 60 yards pefectly. However, the scope does not align these reticles evenly for all bows. I shoot a Vortex, but go faster or slower than it, and you may end up with odd distances. That is where you have to get creative with your sight in distance.
Some complain about the optics, but not me. I can actually see the target better in dim light with it, than with naked eyes, and if I can't verify with my own eyes, not shooting anyways.
If you are interested, and are thinking about Hawke scopes, best to wait a little while. They are supposedly comming out with a new scope that may indeed adjust for differing speeds. Probably cost more than you will wish to spend. But claimed to be crossbow specific and high end in quality.
So far they seem durable. They are small and light weight, and have wonderful adjustments for windage and elevation. I also enjoy the free software program that determines trajectories at the various distances.
I am glad my bow has the thing on it.

Re: Hawke Crossbow Scopes
I got the Hawke SR with circles it was short n lite. Mine would not Illuminate red or green so i sent it back. I was disappointed as i did like the circles on my targets it was quick to see & maybe i should have just exchanged it. I got my arse on my shoulders fast when things like that happen. Not the 1st time won't be the last.
