Varizone Question

Post by pbearmawno »

While moving my crossbow in my truck, I noticed that the top cover over the adjustment knob was loose. I started to tighten it when I noticed it was making a clicking sound. It almost sounded like I was making an adjustment to my scope settings. Am I just being paranoid? Usually with scope adjustment covers you just tighten them down until they reach the end of the threaded travel. Has anyone else experienced this?

It's either threaded properly and tightens down or it isn't and doesn't. Is it stripped because that's what it sounds like.

Thanks. That's probably what it is. My bow is sighted in and I was hoping not to repeat the process.

'Sighting in' may take some effort but just checking the bow doesn't (assuming you have a target). I actually don't target shoot much, so it's always reassuring to set the bag out and at least shoot once, say at 30yds? Takes all of 5min and tells me nothing major has gone wonky.

    so, I went to sit tonight for the last hour of legal shooting. I told myself that I wouldn't shoot anything over 20 yards. I have some markers laid out to ensure I know the yardage. I figured if my height was off, I would have my three pins inside the Killzone. I think there is something wrong with the scope however because the entire threaded section twists and makes clicking sounds. It has nothing to do with the cap. Just at the end of legal shooting I shot an old arrow with some cheap broadheads at a tree which had a piece of flagging tape on it. I shot a dead center through the flagging tape. That equinox packs a punch. The Brodhead and a solid half inch of the bolt stuck into that Pinetree. I tried to unscrew the Brodhead but only managed to get the shaft out and not The aluminum piece where the Brodhead threads in. I did not have any field points with me and when I shoot my target using broadheads it actually goes through. if it's bang on for 20 I figure I should be OK for 30.
