Scope Problems/Vibrations

[8ptbuk]

I dont use anything to silence my Phoenix down and down really care how loud it is but am concerned that all that vibration is not good for my scope ( Vari-Zone ) . So Im thinking about serving cat whiskers on or using some String Leeches that I have . Does anyone use Leeches and where can I buy Silencer Material to serve on ??? Thanks

any archery store should carry that stuff.

I didn't have any luck with the leeches, they shot right out.

Your V-zone will be ok w/o string add-ons.......I had one on an Emax for quite a spell.......

I shoot my bows bare without anything an they like to eat scopes for sure. so far two varizones, one Nikon , one leupold,one bushnell an all covered by there warranty but not the bushnell an from all my shooting these bows are hard on scopes for me an the better the scope the longer they last it seems. I just make sure to have a spare on hand an a good quality scope with a good warranty an keep shooting

Exactly what I gather from reading on the forum. No doubt Excal takes care of there customers but It appears to me taking as much of the vibration and shock out would have to help the scopes last longer . Thanks for everyones input .

I've had the scope that came on my Axiom when I bought it 4 years ago. I've probably shot this bow a couple thousand times and the scope hasn't wavered yet....*knockin on wood*

Keep thinking about a twighlight dlx, but this one just keeps on tickin'!

Makes me wonder if airgun rated scopes are the way to go. They are braced for what's called "reverse" recoil. I would think that is similar to the sudden stop of the crossbow string's forward momentum.

All Leupold scopes are rated for airguns. Nothing much tougher than a Leupold shotgun scope.

99% of the scope vibration occurs when the string latch releases the string and the scope mount gets thrown violently upward..
string suppressors will not help you here.
the scope is under warranty so just enjoy and shoot your bow without worry.
