The best value for the money, IMO. Once I got use to the BDC and dialed it in, its perfect.

Excellent scope for an Excal CB, light, short, accurate, rugged and 3" to 4" eye relief. I have one on my Equinox & I gave my son one for his Vortex. This scope does NOT have a speed ring and I use my CB for hunting. I set the x-hairs for POI at 25 yards and use them for all shots out to 30 yards. Over 30 yards I use the 1st circle out to 40 yards and I don't take hunting shots over 40 yards. The scope is great in low light conditions.

Once you get the BDC figured out, very nice scope indeed.

As Dan said go to the Nikon web site, to the chart, match your speed with the bow, and all the yardage marks will display. If your bow is shooting around 305 F.P.S. your yardage markers fall about perfect. Your bow speed is the key. The fixed yardage markers will change if your speeds are faster, Beyond the 20 yard marker. And i have found the program right on the money. Good stuff.....

Thanks all for your input about this scope- Looked through one yesterday and it was nice clear and crisp view through the scope !!!- Thinking about one in the near future as I got a new tac-zone replacement From Doc Miller the other day for the messed up tac-zone scope that was on my 380 Matrix- Again Thanks !!!!
