Ok guys, little issue!
So, I currently own a older Vixen ( carve tip 150lbs ) it currently has a Lumizone scope on it and cannot get it to go anymore on the vertical position ( maxed out ) and still shooting about 4inch low at 20yards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have the " speed dial " set on the 250 mark - when we got it chrongraphed it was shooting 260fps.
Thanks

Not sure on the Vixen, but on most , you can loosen the screw that the scope mount is attached to and swing it up a bit.
The ones above the safety latch.
Not sure on the name of the parts.
Be sure to put lock tight on the screw after sow it stays that way.

Re: Scope help ( part 2 )
I assume yer scope is fer sure messed up now. Forget the speed ring fer now thats to use only at longer ranges. Lets take yer main xhair an start at 10 yds on yer target. Shoot yer arrow see if'en it hits high or low. Once you see which it is either take elevation up or down as needed. Then shoot at 20 yds & adijust it. I assume you wish to start off at 20 yds wid main xhair ? Fer a vixen i would!exocet200hunter wrote:Ok guys, little issue!

Re: Scope help ( part 2 )
Scope is maxxed out on ele. at 10 yds. Any scope or trigger assembley movement? If'en all is tight then we have a scope/scope mount/ ring issue. Are the rings set right on the scope mount ?If'en so then try a diff scope. If the 2nd scope still doesn't get right you have sumpin goin on other than scope/rings/mount troubles. You must start at the very beginnin n work thru this. I have has trigger assem. screws loose that made the arrows hit all over at 20 yds

If'en the trigger assembly is tight n the stock screws are tight n the scope mount n rings are tight, its the scope!exocet200hunter wrote:Everything looks good wich is confusing , going to take a look at the mounting rail and maybe try to adjust it
