Vari-Zone scope : need some help !!!

[Rammstein]

Hi !

It sounds very stupid, but I lost the instructions of the Vari-Zone scope, and I have actually difficulties to adjust it...

May someone post a scan of them for me ?

Thanx !

1st, level the scope properly, that is very important for shots beyond 20 yards.
Take a shot at the center of the target at 10 yards, if it is within 6 inches of where you aimed move back to 20 yards.

2nd, set your vertical at 20 yards, put a line on the target taller than 6" or so and shoot, pay no attention to your horizontal, just tune the scope to that line with your windage dial (right side of scope).

3rd, do the same thing with the horizontal now, put a horizontal line on the target and tune it in to that line, paying no attention to the vertical.
Now you should be inside an inch square from a shot now, at 20 yards. make sure that is true by doing multiple shots.
Once you know you are good at 20 yards move to 40. Set your scope speed dial to what you think you should be shooting, again aiming at the horizontal line (don't worry about vertical) and let one fly. If that arrow is high turn up the speed on the speed ring, if it is low, turn it down. Keep going until it is hitting the line.
You can now safely step back to 50 and try that shot again, the farther back you go in the scope checking for speed the more accurate the 30 and 40 are going to be.
Once the speed dial is set you can go back up to 30 and get a very good idea of how the set-up just went.


-Shooting from 10 is more of a precaution than anything when setting up, just to make sure the scope isn't so far off you miss your target.
-Keep an eye on your brace height, it will trick you into thinking your scope is off, this is especially important when using a new string.
I can clarify on any of this if you need..

Your arrow combination has nothing to do with the scope settings, as long as the arrows are consistent. If you switch arrows in any way you have to repeat this procedure, or what ever procedure you chose to use.
I use the same arrow combination as you, and am very happy with it.

Just got my Phoenix. Came with a Varizone scope. No instructions on how to use the multiple reticles. Once you are setup on your velocity and you have your windage set, I assume you use the top crosshair for 20 yards, then go out in 10 yard increments. Can someone please explain.

Thanks,
Mike

The upside down triangle above the xhairs is for 10 yds, each right side up triangle under the xhair is an additional 10 yds, i.e. 30, 40, and 50. The two on either side of the vertical hair are the aim points to lead a walking deer at 20 yds if you are so inclined to take a shot at one. Great scope, imho.

Many folks don't look at the original posting dates and get confused by this when welcoming a new member that isn't too new anymore.

And that would be, like ... who?
