Stupid Newbie Question
I had a crazy idea last night about "Bore Sighting" in my NEW VORTEX. Would it work to lay a rifle bore sitter on the rail (where the bolt goes) & then adjust the scope as you do on a rifle scope? Has anyone else thought of this or done it? I know it sounds stupid but I'll bet it would get it close for the 1st shot. Still haven't shot it for the furst time yet. Thx in advance for answering my DUMB QUESTION!!!
There's plenty of room for all gods creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes!
Re: Stupid Newbie Question
If the bore laser was the proper diameter and length to fit snug and square on the rail, I couldn't see any reason why it wouldn't get you close... Just be sure to account for arrow drop, which would be done while fine tuning for your distances.

Should work, but why bother.
You don't need to "get it on paper" by bore sighting.
If you haven't shot it yet, take the plunge and do so. I trust you'll find it near dead-on as it comes from the box.

X-2 mine was dead on, right out of the box,
If it was me, I would shoot it first
Be safe in all you do! See ya in the woods!!!

Re: Stupid Newbie Question
Drop the scope on and shoot , Don't ask me how but I've never been to far off ? Wish my rifle's would behave the same way.
Re: Stupid Newbie Question
Yup, start at 10 yds w/ crosshairs on target. Remember the 'Zones are 1/2" per click at 20ys.............

Re: Stupid Newbie Question
All the above are spot on but.... a stud from a collet type collminator will fit right in a 2117 shaft and you can use the string to hold it down.Dont ask how I know, I would never overthink anything like that... no never. lol
