Welcome to the ultimate guide to learning how to sight in a multi-line scope.
Whether you have purchased an illuminated or non-illuminated scope, the instructions on this page will work!
Pre-Steps
Follow the instructions given by your manufacturer for mounting the scope onto your crossbow.
If you purchased your crossbow and scope separately, begin by setting your target up at 10 yards distance from your crossbow. However, if you bought your scope and crossbow together as a package, the scope has already been bore sighted, and you can set up at 20 yards distance from the bow to the target.
Step-By-Step
Have a look at the focus ring, which is located at the rear bell of the scope to check the current focus of the scope. Then, adjust the ring left or right to put the scope into focus.
Check the duplex crosshair on the scope to make sure its vertical.
If the crosshairs are not vertical, loosen the screws on the scope rings, make the necessary adjustments and retighten the screws.
Aim, shoot, and observe the first shot. Make a note to adjust for windage and elevation.
To adjust for windage and elevation, remove the turret covers from the scope.
Based on your first shot, you’ll move up, down, left or right the amount of clicks needed to find an accurate aim.
Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments, aim and shoot again to check the new impact.
Fine-tune the scope’s adjustments by testing your shot at 30 yards.
Reminder: put the turret covers back on the scope once it’s sighted in.
