This is not really a problem.

Rather an opportunity for you to see how good Excalibur's customer service is.

Call Danny Miller & he will fix U up.

Danny Miller is top notch. I recommended throwing in a little scratch and upgrade to the Vari-Zone Scope.

Send him 30 bucks and upgrade to a vari zone. Have the same bow as you and scope went out 2 weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with Danny or the varizone.

I see you have a Ten Pt also did you actually lose huntin time ? I certainly understand the bad taste on the scope that came wid the pkg. I use Varizones. I have other back up's so i never lose more than the time it takes me to walk back to my cabin & grab another one of my Excals off the wall!

Excalibur has one of the best warranty's in the business,no matter who own's it .I will alway's buy Excalibur bow's .
Thing's happen ,no matter what you have .Don't call the kettle black at everything you see or have.Iv'e had $3000.00 scope's go bad for one reason or another.So no matter what it is, it's replaceable one way or another.

I have the worse luck in the world my Ten point fell off the wall hanger and the elevation Turret broke off so that scope is junk being on a fixed income it will have to wait until i can rob peter to pay paul and buy another one for the ten point so you see i am down from the hunt for awhile.. :x
