I've got one of the new Middleton scopes on my bow and find it to be out of focus a little,is there any adjustment on it?I've gone through the manual and l can't find anything,all it's got is the speed ring.

My 375 scope is stock. I like it a lot. You can adjust the focus on the + - dial near your front eyepiece for focus, at least mine you can. Not sure if the stock scopes are the same on a newer model. Mine is a 2010. Try this link, hope it helps

The rear eye piece turns out to focus,  post a picture if you are able.   It is the very rear section with the rubber guard on it that will screw out.  Please call tomorrow if you need more assistance 1-877-826-7145.

I believe that your tape is over the + - sign on the rear most part of the scope this is the section that will turn counter clock wise to turn out.  If your tape is over the ring which it looks like it is you will not be able to turn the rear section counter clockwise out to focus.  Move the tape forward a bit and you will see what I mean, also with the tape in the spot you have it if you turn counter clockwise hard enough the whole rear section will turn off the tube you do not want that to happen the nitrogen purge will be lost.
I measured the section that will turn out it is 7 16ths of an inch from the rear rubber eye piece forward.  let me know if that was it.

**Laughing to SeLF**   That's amazing.  Bowhunter, aren't you glad you were able to post the photos?  I could see myself doing exactly what you did!  Kudos to Derrick for measuring as he did.  Good deal all around.  Happy hunting!  BTW, I like your animations!
