Clear would be an understatement. I finally found a scope that I like... :)

Can't wait to see how this scope performs on a Turkey!!

It sure is a beautiful sight to see another Leupold scope finding a home riding on top of another Excalibur crossbow.

I got my Crossbone scope dialed in at 20-30-40 yards yesterday finally. Then I waited until my cellphone said I had 2 minutes of legal shooting light left. Walked out on the deck and picked up the bow which was already cocked and ready to shoot. Aimed at target at 20 yards and I could see it well through the scope. Shot a bullseye at 20 yards. Lowered the bow and could not see the dot or arrow with my naked eyes. Pulled scope back up and could see both well.

I think I am going to really like this scope.

robertyb, What procedure did you use to "line in" your crossbones scope for 20,30 and 40yds. ?? Any info. will be greatly appreciated, as I just mounted my crossbones on my matrix 380, and haven't shot it yet ! Thanks, Hawkeyemd

Set up your target at 20 yards and sight in dead on.
Move target out to 40 yards.
Aim using 20 yard sight on a dot at the top of the target and shoot, you will hit several inches low.
Now look through scope using the 20 yard sight at the dot again. Twist the speed ring till the 20 yard sight is on the dot and the 40 yard hash mark is on the arrow.
You should be pretty much sighted in now.
