One last question would going to the 50 mm be an "upgrade" Or is it not needed and is a lesser quality glass that the 40 and 30 mm Light gathering is mainly a product of glass quality. High quality glass in 30 or 40 mm will gather more light than 50 mm lower quality glass. I always recomm...

Unfortunately I found the vx1 3-9 40mm for $395 and the cheapest I can get the vxr in any size is $710.
Im sure the vx1 will be better than the smf scope I have.
Thanks for all the help

Here's a thought, how about using your center crosshair and Optimizer to get you out to 60yards. Then using the hash marks in the scope and your variable power (speed dial) use them for 70yards, 80yards, etc.. It just might work for you and be easier and cheaper than a stacked HHA.[/quote] Yes I wou...

what about comparing the vx1 series. The 33mm vs the 40mm vs 50mm is 40mm a happy medium?

Just wait for it to arrive. Forget a second HHA mounted on top, your head would be floating in mid air with no cheek weld and poor accuracy. Take the $$$ you'd spend on the extra HHA and put it towards an M380, you'll have no problem hitting 100yards. I am limited to just my axiom, I am willing to ...

Nevermind about my last post i just checked, it would be the same price as a 40mm anyway.

What about If i went for a vx-r 2-7 33mm (I think thats a model)

Would this still be superior to a vx 3-9 40mm

Although I haven't got my HHA optimizer yet and my crossbow just a week ago I am debating whether a second Dial would be useful. I have worked out that with my specs the HHA allows me to shoot to 65 yards or so. I found this http://peteward.com/ballistic.calc.htm and put in my arrow combinations and...

Thank you for the responses.
keep in mind I do target shooting.

Were i live the vx is $480 and the vxr is $780 is it really worth the $300 price difference?

I am looking to upgrade my scope on my axiom, I want a duplex reticule because I will use a HHA dial. My Question is, is the illuminated dot worth it? and is the dot large because it will be used for long distance shooting. And Im looking at the vx1 3-9 40mm and the vxr1 3-9 40mm Any opinions and an...

Still going strong after 450 shots with the dacron string wrapped around.
Getting the serving material soon.

Im buying some serving material and replacing it.
In the meantime I just wrapped it with some dacron string. Looks good after 360 shots.

Actually no. forget that last post

i just cocked and the serving is worse. I got a bad string, dissapointing.
