Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't understand why a right handed shooter would mount this on the right side? I'm a righty and mount my level bubbles on the left side of my scope and the left side of my riser. This allows me to look through my scope with my right eye and check my levels with my left eye. It seems to me that a rangefinder would work the same way. Again, maybe I'm missing something.

I mounted my RF on the right side cause I could not read it with my left eye unless I pulled my head completely off the stock. :)

[quote="Weiner"] I have two of the Vendetta 2's. The one for sale in the classifieds and the one on my bow. I have it mounted on the right side of the scope and it adjusts perfectly with the 2 set screws. Apparently TP mounted his on the left side so either side will work. [/quote]



I mounted both of my Vendetta #1 rangefinders on the right side - not the left. Good to hear your #2 works on the right as well.

I want a clear view along the left side of the crossbow rail, so mine is on the right. But the eBay mount is mounted under the scope's eye box and the back of the Vendetta sits almost even with the back of my scope.

With a 3.5" - 4" eye relief of the scope, I can pick it up easily just moving my eye over about an 1 1/2" inches and sometimes just with my peripheral vision.
