If any of you Crossfire II owners shoot past 20 yards, I'd like to know if the various reference lines match up with the actual POI. I know I don't need another scope...... :eusa-popcorn:
Not really understanding your question Don, this scope gets zeroed at 40yds then adjust the speed ring to match the other distances and as long as you leave the speed ring/magnification setting in the same place it is dead on from 20-60yds so far. Am I misreading your query?

Funny you should ask.

I have had to wait for the moon and the stars and the wind and the heat and some free time to align to do some honest long range testing with the CF2.

Tonight is the night unless I get unavoidably detained from said activity for the hundredth time!!!!!!

Will post results... :)

Do all the reference points actually work at the designated makings. So once you set up the bow does the 50 mark put you on the bullseye at 50 yards? Does 60 and 70 line up as well?

I have only been able to test out to 60 so far but after setting the speed it is very accurate at all reference points from 20 to 60 and the speed ring setting actually matched my chrono speed (that’s a first) lol

I zeroed it at 40 per the included instructions and then moved back to 60 to fine tune the speed ring, I then verified all other points from 20-60 and will be testing out to 100yds sometime soon.
All testing was done from a solid bench rest.

I’m using the ones that come with it Anthony, they are very nice and perfect height for me on the chosen bow.
