You should also look for a scope that has cable release mechanisms. Most care must be taken when tightening the scope to ensure that it doesn’t try to move.

This scope has a focus adjustment ring. The second one is the multi-range scope with the lighted reticle. This scope has a lighted reticle.

While the range is adjustable, you will want to utilize the multi-range scope if you plan to hunt at extreme ranges. Most major ammunition companies, as well as outfits such as Schick and Thompson, include ranges in their pricing. For hunting beyond 25 yards, you will want a more accurate scope.

The first thing you want to look at is the overall quality and features of the scope. Is it NIB or polished stainless steel? Does it seem to be well-built? Is there anything broken or cheap about it? It’s easy for a cheap scope to get a lot of wear and tear on it from hunting. The same is true of a polished stainless steel scope.

Other things to look at are the adjustments. Depending on how you plan on using this scope, it’s good to know what the various adjustments are. While we are picturing a light bar on top of the scope, it doesn’t actually have to be a light bar if it’s just you Fuze and a scope ring. Really what you are picturing is a sideways hold on the thumb cage on the grip to adjust for windage. More on this below.

Depending on the scope you are purchasing, you may have to obtain the scope from a national retailer or have it shipped to you. I purchased my scope from Half Price Books here in Kansas City, MO. Because I am from Missouri and they are located on the East coast, they were able to ship to me directly from the manufacturer in Olean, NY without a salesperson. This made purchasing my scope as easy as possible.

Another attribute you want to look at or decide is the scope’s warranty. Glanz Sports first has an awesome warranty.

Try and find one that is small and easy to carry, and has the capability to get you an adjustable hold on the shots. When designing your scope, make sure the addition of a reticle will allow for your shots to go far enough to get exactly where you want them to go. This will make crossbow hunting easier, and can improve you accuracy.

Accuracy

When you start with the idea of accuracy, it is really rather easy to get tripped up. Take a minute to think about how strong you are using your shot. Your strength in general can only increase, so if your aim is off, it is very hard to correct. Make sure that when the scope is on your crossbow, you are in perfectly accurate position to take that perfect shot. That is really what this guide is all about.

Power

Although power is probably one of the most important factors when complimenting your accuracy, it is important to keep in mind power does not inhibit accuracy. Having more power means you can hit farther, so it is important to aim with power in mind.
