3 dot red dot and mult-reticle
How accurate are these preset sights. These bows must shoot alot more consistent to get a preset gap. Any info would be appreciated. LC
Re: 3 dot red dot and mult-reticle
Not sure I understand the question, However a Red dot 3 dot and a multreticle scope must first be sighted in at say the 20 yard mark using the main crosshair as the 20 yard sight-in, on the red dot your choice top dot or middle dot at 20 yards.LC Bowhunter wrote:How accurate are these preset sights.

After that the other aiming points should be on target, ie; 10,20, 30 so on. If you change your arrow weight then you would have to re-sight in, Innless you are using a varazone then you would just change the speed ring for the different arrow/bolt weight.

Think I know what ya be asking and as I am not a Engineer or designer I can't explain it in detail.
The Multi- cross hair scopes and stacked red dots are based on a known bolt/arrow drop ratio vs speed of said bolt/arrow.
Example they know a xbow shooting at 300fps and sighted in for 20 yards with a 2219 bolt at 400gr. will drop 5.5 inchs at 30 yards, and 15" at 40 yards. So the cross hairs are set to allow for the drop....
