Help needed with new Micro 315 with Deadzone

[mblaney]

I need some advice on a Deadzone scope. The problem I have is the speed ring does not do anything. Setting at the highest or lowest speed makes no difference at 50 yards, always 6" low. Any experience with this or advise?

Cheers,
Mike

Is it dead on at 20?

[mblaney]

Dead on at 20... low 6 at 50.

Update: the screw is missing from the speed ring. I stole one from my rifle scope and now the magnification works.

It's my sons bow... he's been working at it for a week or two and finally gave up.

Question 1: is the speed ring screw supposed to lock the ring after setting?

Question 2: based on my calibrated eyeball, I adjusted the zoom to expand the marks for the needed 6" (against my barn siding) and the speed ring is at the high end... 380fps... I know these are not huge accurate scales but it should be closer to 300. Is there anyway to move the scale so it looks a little closer to the actual speed?

No screw does not lock ring most likely you found your problem...

[mblaney]

Well it's fixed. 1/2" at 40 yards... a little closer than that at 20 yards. Damn this thing is accurate!

Thanks for the feedback! Now just have to find a replacement screw.
