The parallax is set to 50 yards on that scope. Here is an excerpt from Horton's site.
Q. What does the term "Parallax" mean?
A. Parallax is a term that describes where a scope reticle is focused at a given distance. The industry standard is 150 yards for riflescopes. Crossbow hunting is much closer, so a typical crossbow scope should have a Parallax of approximately 50 yards.
Also, does anybody know what the field of view is on a Vari-Zone? All I have ever seen is that it is "ultra wide". My guess is that it can't be more than 50 feet at 100 yards.
Just curious but what makes you think" My guess is that it can't be more than 50 feet at 100 yards" The Vari-zone scope is for crossbows What are you after in a crossbow scope
Sevcrist,
I live about 1 hr west of Nashville just off I-40. I have a Vixen and a Varizone scope. The scope is not mounted right now but it wouldnt take long, or you could ease your mind by simply looking through it. I hope they will get more dealers here in TN. Right now I think there is 1 or 2 in Chattanooga, and 1 more far south west from me towards Memphis way. I guess they will get more dealers if they legalize crossbows for archery season this year. Let me know if you want to drive out this way sometime and Ill be more than glad to show you the scope. Send me a Private Message.
Good luck
Sevcrist the paper work on the Vari Zone scope states that the parallax is set to be parallax free at 30 yards. All it states on field of view is wide range. If you were to e-mail Excalibur they may be able to tell you.
I'm just looking for what I consider the ideal crossbow scope for me. I would think that field of view would be very important because of how close in the game is likely to be. If you go up in power from say 1x to 2x the magnification increases but the field of view decreases. To me, field of view is probably more important, but I'm not a regular scope user. Again, I'm just comparing and looking for answers.
As far as the Vari-Zone is concerned I do think they should have the specifications for the scope listed. It seems to be some sort of secret. Excalibur doesn't have a problem giving out specs. for their bows so I don't see why it would be a problem for scopes.
Pineyriverbuck, I might take you up on that offer to look through the scope. I also wanted to see an Excalibur crossbow in person before I purchased one. Like you said, I don't see any dealers in this area.
