Just joined this group.  I bought my first crossbow....a Barnett Jackel.  Have not shot it yet, still waiting for the rope cocking device to arrive.  Am looking forward to shooting it this week.  It came with a red-dot which is new to me.  Hope it works.  It actually has 3 dots, i'm assuming for different yardage.  Can each dot be adjusted independantly?

Welcome to the nation. All 3 dots are adjusted together. You cannot adjust them independently. Have fun with new crossbow.

Welcome to the Crossbow Nation!

Zero the top dot in for twenty yards then the middle one is on for thirty yards and the bottom one is on for forty yards. Would also work for 10,20,& 30   or  30,40,&50.

Have fun.
