Why the big price drop?

I have noticed in the past that discontinued or previous model Vortex Optics can be found reasonably discounted and jumped on a couple great deals.

Discontinued, Lack of sales because of price, and the m.o.a. markers instead of yardage, were just to confusing... I guess great clear optics, and build quality is'nt every thing..

I don't get the MOA issue...you can't have target turrets to match each individual bow/arrow/string setup. What I would do if I was interested in this scope, is have a custom elevation dial or at least a custom tape that would match my velocity. I suppose they could've/should've included tapes like HHA does for their Optimizer, but that would be too good of an :idea:

I just bought one to get away from the speed ring concept. On my 380 with a tact zone I was at something like 5x magnification with the correct setting on the speed ring. That is too much mag for some of the hunting I do. The shooting world uses bot MOA and Mills without any issues. It just depends on the system you want to subscribe to and learn. That is the thing, you have to learn the system and your weapon. Not as convenient as a speed ring, but more flexible in the long run.
