Another optimizer question

longbow joe · Post by **longbow joe** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 9:22 pm

First of all merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.
I purchased another vortex the other day ...this one was different... brand new in the box never even assembled for $250 on local craigslist.
I want to put an optimizer on it and try something out of the box for me.
I was wondering if the dial is in the way for cocking that seems to be my big wonder . Also do l need the extension with an exo series bow.
I also purchased a brand new never mounted redfield (made in Colorado) in the box 1 to 6 power scope last year l was gonna put on a 450 legend but that's another story it just seems right on the vintage vortex . Thanks for your input.

HHA makes a speed dial extension bracket . Go to HHA sports . I put mine on my axe and tried to cock it with a rope and then the charger did not get in the way. You have to put it on the crossbow and check it out . Hope this helps .

I’ve found the extension helpful with every crossbow I’ve had an Optimizer on (which virtually every crossbow I’ve owned since the Optimizer came out).

New Vortex for $250!!! Though I don’t own one, the 200# Vortex is one of my favorite xbows. I’d certainly buy one for $250!

Optimizer is releasing a new 2020 revised version soon.
I will take a look at it at the 2020 ATA.

Norm......revised unfortunately usually means ...plastic. but l hope I'm wrong thanks for the intel.

In the email I received they noted "better and more user friendly ergonomics".
Stay tuned here after the ATA.

This vortex is cool l kinda think of it as my big lbex.
A little long and dorky but I'm used to the exo bows.
Love em.

The Vortex is just about as perfect as a bow can get. Its the bow I shot the most and kept the longest. That was a crazy price!

Anybody know when these new optimizers will be on the shelves.

The gentleman bought it for his son hoping he would hunt but never used it.
It's the second vortex l bought this year for pennies on the dollar.
