Re: Crossbow scope what one

I have found the aiming hashmarks on a hawk scope to be some what confusing . Maby im old but i just want a simple T or circle to see not a dog and pony show . If they made a simple without that i would be interested.

Re: Killer Katana

To be honest i like the offspring better than my micro .l put a micro stock on it . All the controls are just the same as a excal matrix .very quiet and narrow in a blind . The bow is very dependable l bought it because of the excal like parts used on it .

Re: Crossbow scope what one

The bolt has no speed ring is dialed in at 305 fps your micro is probably shooting at 310 just gue ssing ..should be pretty much spot on . I have one one my m 330 spot on all yardages love it. The leupold cross bones is better if you have a little more money to spend with a speed ring . I have both ...

Re: Micro or Matrix

I agree on the more power idea totally with a crank . But keep in mind that a 280 fps vixen is still slinging a bolt as fast as a slower compound bow that kills moose all the time. Last year a giant moose was killed with a vixen 2 by a lady.
