Hi,
Just purchased my 1st crossbow, a Micro 335 and I have a question regarding the scope on it (Octane Dead-zone)
The actual reticle is different from the one in the manual.
In the manual, the middle cross hair is for 20yd, the arrow above it is for 10yd, the arrow below the centered cross hair is for 30yd and so on up to 50yd.
My actual scope doesn't have an arrow above the centred cross hair. So should I use the centered cross hair for 10 or 20yd ??

Thank's

Welcome, use the center crosshair for a 20 yard POI.

Re: Octane dead-zone question
Welcome and congrats on a mighty fine bow. As stated above, use the crosshairs for twenty yards. Enjoy,

Re: Octane dead-zone question
My dead-zone is just like the one in the manual. That's funny that they seem to have different reticles on supposedly the same scope. I wish mine had the extra chevron on the bottom for 60 yards. I have thought about making mine: crosshair 25, no.2 35, no.3 45, no.4 55. I have found that I can do the crosshair out to 25 yds. with no holdover or holdunder and only be a couple of inches high or low. By the way, I like your thin top reticle, it allows better vision of the target.

Ok, thank you all for your comments, I appreciate.
Re: Octane dead-zone question
I just held a micro at Cabelas and the scope had the full recticle and I really liked how clear it was. Seems to be a nice scope. I asked to see a zeiss xb75 but they didn't have it in stock!
I really liked the feel of the micro!

Re: Octane dead-zone question
the recticle you displayed { not the actual view thru your scope ) looks like the way my varizone scope recticle looks..

Re: Octane dead-zone question
My Octane is as per your pic; 20,30,40,50 & 60 yards. Deadly accurate at every point.
I do believe that some of the early Micros had differing scopes/reticles. Mine is a 2015 model/build.
