First day with the 380
Sighted it in today at 20 yards and it shot great. It is kinda loud with a higher pitch but for a shorter duration than the nox was. To me it is slightly easier to cock than the nox, the shorter stroke really comes into play here. I took a few shots at 30 with the speed ring set at 335 but I can't evaluate it at 30 or more yet because I only took 3 or 4 shots. The scope is as reported already. It is very blurry unless you are dead center with your eye. This was something I could overcome at 20 yards but not at 30. I am sorry to say that there is no way I can use this scope it's not even close to good enough. If I hadn't read about it already I'm sure I would be thinking that just got a defective one. I do however love the reticle. I like the anti -dri fire so far and I love the size of the bow. I do think that I will get heavier arrows though to tame sound a little and IMHO the Diablo seems to light for the 380. The Diablo is probably fine for most folks I just think it would be better on the bow and string to have 450 to 500 grain arrows.

Sounds like someone else is in need of a Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm scope.
