Nikon Bolt Scope

Is there any way to adjust or dial in the distance rings, or do you live with what it is and go off the Nikonhunting.com/spot on numbers? thanks jeff~

You have to live with what there is. There are some neat tricks however that you can use the small circles for at distances in between your markers. I love mine, but it does take a bit of practice, and setup tweaking.
I have my 355 setup at 2" high @ 20/ 1" high @ 30 / dead on at 50 & 60. For 40 yards I use the top of my 50 yard circle, it is close enough for kill shots.

Nope, since the Bolt XR crossbow scope is fixed 3x32mm.

Using the Nikon Spot On ballistic technology you can calculate the yardage for your circles depending on your arrow weight and speed.

I bought the Bolt scope and returned it because I got used to the tact zone yardages and then didn't like the off yardages of the bolt! I do like my tact zone!
