Excalibur Vari Zone Scope

[vapredhunter]

My new scope finally got here today. Last season my Truglo red dot got killed when my bow tipped over after I leaned it up against a tree. The scope landed on a rock, right on the red dot adjustment dial and busted it, go figure. I was not to upset did'nt like it all that much and it was the day before ML season opened.

I saved 40 dollars got my new scope on ebay I installed it today and before I sight it in just woundered if any of you had any tips for using the vari zone Thanks Chris,

Do a search for "sighting in Vari-zone". Lots of good previous posts. As Bstout said, it's pretty much fool proof. Just sight it in, put the crosshairs on the target and squeeze the trigger.

I purchased a Varizone and after installing it on the xbow shot it a about 10 yards to get it close then moved to 20 yards and sighted it in. No problem at all. I then set up my Crony and shot through it with with field tips and broad heads both to get an idea of the average speed. mine were averaging 285. I then set the adjustment on the scope to a little under 300 and moved to 40 yards. It was dead on using the 40 yard mark. I wish rifle scopes were that easy to use I love it.

Vapredhunter,

Welcome to the club. Excalibur makes an awsome xbow and stands behind it like no other company I know.

As far as setting up the scope I would suggest you follow pydpiper's setup in the following thread. it worked great for me and when you are done you will be set up for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards.

Enjoy, the accuracy is unbelievable.

Just finished sighting in, all I can say it's much better then the red dot night and day. I started at 10 and 20 then it took a little while to get 50 yard mark adjusted but now all the points are right on. According to the scope I'm shooting at about 310fps. I wonder how close that is I'm shooting 20" Goldtips with 100grain tips and 5" feathers. Thanks for the info I think I'm going to like this much better.

Hey got one more question how is this point of aim going to be affected when I start shooting from my tree stand I wonder. I missed a deer with my red dot at 10 yards because of the angle I was shooting I was 20 feet up and he was almost under me.
