Because the power is fixed you must match the arrow speed and arrow weight to the reticle. Not so easy. If your arrow does not weigh x grains and does not travel at x fps it simply will not match up. Thats where the variable power comes into play, one can dial the speed ring (magnification) to compensate for multiple arrow weights and speeds allowing for a more flexable tuning process. Thats why the Varizone scopes are just that

Thats true didnt think of that.

I've been biting my tongue on these 'Hawke" scopes long enough. I'm all for a better mouse trap but, IMHO, this ain't it.

1st off, the reticules remind me of looking thru a screen fence. Way too 'busy'.2nd off, you tune the arrow weight to the scope to get even ranges 'on.' Excuse me, got that weight dialed in and ain't gonna change it for nobody.

3rd, what the heck do we need to kill deer at 20-40 yds? Minimal optics is my answer.

I like my 'Zones"' Good for 250-350 fps, so rumor has it.

If you are over that performance window, ignore this post.
