I've shot a bow with one. I'm hoping to put one on my Vixen after I find a job. Too many debts right now. :cry:

The MAP is a fine scope for the $ BUT it is NOT trajectory adjustable like the vari/lumi zones. Moreover, the spacing of the aim points is more appropriate for a bow that shoots closer to 340-350 fps. Got one, its on my fast compound and works great in that application.

Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!

The MAP is fixed, but the XB30 Hawke scope is speed adjustable:

Thanks for pointing out that the map is fixed, an oversite on my part. After some research I just placed an order for the XB30
Thanks Bones

The hawke XB30 is good quality adjustable scope, but on the heavy side. The MAP is non adjustable, but on my equinox, the scope distance lines to line up perfectly for me. It was lightweight, and in camo to match the equinox.

Bones just in case your not aware of it excal will replace your scope for free, in the past these scopes were famous for fogging issues.As a matter of fact I had one replaced due to fogging.

GOGO you are probably right, but I have gotten 6 years out of it and it has had a tough life at times. Im also one of those guy's that like to try different things now and then. The bow will always be an Excal,that part wont change
