I paid $168 w/shipping and tax from BH Superstore and, I believe Wyvern also has a similar deal.  I like bowhunters ss in PA because I usually recieve my order overnight.  Until someone makes a yardage turret dial for a scope, the HHA dial is the only way to go for crossbow accuracy to the yard. imho


Good luck and you will totaly enjoy this product once you get it set up.  Not having one on a xbow is a problem and, makes all your different ranging shots guess work.

Crappie-Tom, thanks for the input pal. I'll get one on the way and when wifey spies it it'll be " oh no, I've had that... Remember, it came with the Xbow" 😜. Good hunting!

See that's a trick question.  You didn't say how much you wanted to spend, crossbow or rifle, illuminated or not or, the magnification range. Forget Dots.  If your looking for a inexpensive scope$100-$200 look at a 3x9 bushnell.  I think for the money they have alot of models and some pretty fair optics.  If you want great optics look at a Zeiss Conquest 3x9. A month ago you could have bought one in the $350-$400 range.  

Good hunting

I ended up buy a used Leupold VX-1 2x7x40 scope for the 165.  I think I will like this a lot better than the Aimpoint RedDot.  Tony

Good, good, let us all know how it all works out after you shoot with it.

This thing is awesome...I shot a buck 40 yards the other day and was dead on, double lung him. If I didn't have the optimizer, I would have never took that shot. If anybody is thinking about buying one, just do it you will love it.

Adds a little over .6 inches I think.

Check to see if there is any change in poi when you go from 2x to 7x at say 30 yards.  c-t

Never thought of that C-T.  I'll have to do some further shooting to see what happens.  I am getting up my nerves to shoot through my chronograph at 60 yards to see what the speed is.  A little more practice and I'm going to do it.

I do have a POI change between my broadheads and my field points of 1 inch high and 1 inch to the left.

If your chrono use screen REMOVE them if you try 60. Just ask me how I know!

Arrow comes in at a pretty good angle at that distance.

I would like to see Titanium alloy or stainless hardware used on the HHA Dial.  For the price of the dial why not?   My xbow now has it why not the Dial?  The socket cap screws now have some rust in them and that's unacceptable on a expensive outdoor item.
Any thoughts from the HHA guys ?

I got two optimizers not the best looking rig for your xb....but very functional

[tharris811]

I got one for my titan works great!!  I loved it so I ordered another one for my exomax it shoots about 3in high at 20 yards. HHA is going to send me a lowering bar ( not sure what that is) But I am sure it will work. Let you knwo
