TRUGLO 30MM TRADITIONAL RED-DOT CROSSBOW SIGHT: When shooting at close or medium ranges, a red dot sight is a great option for crossbow hunters.

Top line should be 20 yards. The other lines will increase in 10 yard increments ( line 2=30 yards, line 3=40 yards, etc.) sometimes crossbow scopes will be calibrated for a certain speed, let's just say 320 fps. If your bow shoots 350 fps then the 30, 40, 50 yard crosshairs will be off a little.

For example, a typical crossbow provides 260 FPS to 400 FPS. If you want to get the best out of your crossbow, then I suggest you choose a crossbow with a speed of 250-300 FPS. High-speed bows tend to make noise due to the vibrations from the projectile.

Meet the Nitro 505. With speed of 505 feet-per-second and 227-foot pounds of blistering power, the Nitro 505 is the fastest crossbow on the market and the most powerful crossbow ever built by TenPoint.

around 100 yards A red dot sight is a type of optic that is typically used at closer ranges, normally around 100 yards or less. They are extremely easy to use and can assist first-time shooters with more simplified aiming.

Aimpoint red dot sights are trusted by hunters, sport shooters, military, and law enforcement officers around the world. Over 2 million sights have been supplied to the United States military since 1997.

So for my Ripper 415. We're starting at 415 feet per second. And where you're gonna sight the triangle portion of the reticle in at 30 yards.

Reticle shape The most popular types of cross-hair in modern scopes are variants on the duplex cross-hair, with bars that are thick on the perimeter and thin out in the middle. The thick bars allow the eye to quickly locate the center of the reticle, and the thin lines in the center allow for precision aiming.

A common misconception is that faster is better. However, this is not always true. For example, a typical crossbow provides 260 FPS to 400 FPS. If you want to get the best out of your crossbow, then I suggest you choose a crossbow with a speed of 250-300 FPS.

I would say anything over 200 FPS for a recurve is pretty good. It's enough speed for me to handle any shot I need to take. With my long draw length (long stiff arrows) and target shooter draw weights, my GPP will not get any lower than 7. Today, I am running 8.5 with my fast ACE's.

This aerodynamic mechanical compound bow limb system is capable of delivering blistering fast arrow/bolt speed's up to an unbelievable 500 fps on the MANTIS and to a jaw dropping 600 fps on the MANTIS ELITE making the Mantis crossbow the fastest production crossbow ever made.

around 10 yards Picking Your Zero If you are putting a red dot on your self-defense pistol, then you will likely want to put your zero at around 10 yards. Most self-defense encounters happen at a distance of 7 or fewer yards. A 10-yard zero is preferred, so you can be confident in any shot a self-defense situation may call for.

Red dot sights offer many benefits over iron sights including: Faster target acquisition. The ability to keep both eyes on the target. Increased accuracy.

Holographic optics are very durable and can withstand a beating. It is the optic of choice for soldiers from the Navy SEALS, the Green Berets, and the Marine Raiders. They can be mounted on small arms with a Weaver rail or a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail for more precise aiming.
