Crossbones

Post by flinthead »

I finally got a Leupold Crossbones!! Found a new one for under $340,,, so I jumped on it!! These things are crazy hard to find and when you do they cost big money!

I've got one in my back pocket saved for a day I might need it. Good find!

I got 2 mounted on my favorite bows ... they are the best in my opinion.great for the vixen because they go down to 260 fps.
Why they quit making them with the tooling already paid for is a mystery.Lots of good crossbow scopes out there but it's just hard to beat your trust in a leupold product.
Wada ya gonna put it on Mr. Flint?????

I will probably move the Leupold Pig Plex that’s on my Phoenix to my Vixen and put the Crossbones on my Phoenix Joe… I was going to buy another Pig Plex to put on my Vixen, so that worked out great.

The Crossbones is an excellent choice.

Unfortunately the aim points won't work on my 400fps scorpyd. Out past 40 yards it's not even close... lol
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Hey Joe… the scope’s speed ring is set dead in the middle between 300 and 325. All the crosshairs are dead on out to 60 yards! My set up is the Phoenix with one of Keith’s strings… the string has wooly silencers and is set at the higher brace height mark on the rail. Arrows weight around 440 grains.
