a twilight came on my 335 when i bought it and yes, it's kinda big and kinda heavy on that little bow but i really like the uncluttered reticle, i like the revenge on my 350 but i like my dlx better. same with my son's trophy ridge/hawke. i see that the dlx price had dropped, maybe because of the new tact 100, which might also be one to check out.

When using Imgur, don't copy the link, copy the image URL. It typically ends in ".jpeg"

The Tactzone was my favorite I've had 4 of them, unfortunately 2 had to be sent back when the lumination quick working. The great thing though was they were replaced with no problems from Danny Miller. When one of my friend's Tactzone did the same thing we contacted Danny Miller again and my friend ended up buying the Twilight DLX and even though it is a bit larger than the Tactzone it is a lot clearer and sharper around the edges.

I ended switching to a single crosshair scope because I use an HHA Optimizer and now use a Leupold 2-7 Heavy Duplex Shotgun scope. The quality of Leupold in low light conditions is superb which is very important to me.

Twilight DLX for me , very bright, easy to pick up chevrons, Illuminated but I never really need to use it can hunt until legal quiting time no problem with out illumination, but if I ever get my beer permit it will be used.
My twilight has been used a lot and had no issues.

Just ordered the Dr stirrup and DB killer kit.
now for some arrows.

i was going to go with some of his Bee's 001
but for another $12 i can get mamba's

some may say i dont need all that.
but here is my reasoning they are guaranteed to be capable of producing a 1.5 in to 2.0 inch group at 50-60 yards.

i can shoot 2" groups at 40 with my vertical bow, so if my excalibur cant do 2"or hopefully alot better at 50 and 60 i will be unhappy!
and if it dont i can take the arrows out of the equation if there is a issue.

will i shoot a deer in the woods at 60 yards Noooo !
but i have high expectations for this rig .
all but one of my deer have been under 30 yards even with a gun. i tend to hunt the thick stuff.
but you never know when a deer will pop out on the way to or from the stand. yall been there.

Although the Nikon bolt was a very clear scope, the problem was it lacked illumination. To make matters worse, for whatever reason, it has since been discontinued.

The only one I have used is the Twilight DLX, yes it is bigger and weighs more than the average scope.
The Illumination is nice, have not used it much to see what its like in low light situations. I have turkey hunted with it and was successful and it worked great.
