Yes !! by all means, Welcome aboard. :D

I have both scopes you mentioned , and the glass in both is excellent but I may give a slight edge to the Leupold...

I had the Bolt on my 355 and it worked nicely but since returning home from elk camp, I replaced it with a crossbones that arrived while I was gone.

Both are excellent scopes however, considering the bows speed wise the crossbones works better IMO on the faster bow as it's speed adjustable.

I then put the Nikon on my Axiom ( rated at 305 but actually getting about 290 fps with my set up ) the graduations on the nikon are falling in line very closely out to 40 yards ( as far as I have shot it since the switch ) , requiring little if any thought adjustment while taking the shot... I just put in on 20, 30, 40 ect. matching the ref line to the distance and take the shot.

Either way you choose ? Rest assured they are both great choices of quality scopes. :D
