I have one of these on my Tenpoint and love it!! I haven't found anyone on here that uses it but I can say it's one sweet crossbow scope. It really gathers the light also. I put it on a doe near dark with maybe 10 minutes of shooting light and was blown away by how much light it gathered.

Good to hear. I have been eyeing this scope and have been satisfied with Nikon in the past. Good ligtht gathering and clarity.

I assume the all the reticles for yardages out to 60 yards are adjustable with the software provided to work with most bow speeds and arrow weights and are very accurate? I'm interested in around the 400 fps adjustments.

On my current Nikon rifle scope, it is lighted and have a choice of two colors green and red. I like it. I would like to see Nikon come out with a lighted Xbow scope. If you want this, perhasp check into the Hawkes, which get excellent reviews. I just got my xbow and am no in a hurry to put out bucks at this point. I'm looking at all of them with an open mind, especially since I haven't tried them out. Personally, I like to see Nikon incorportate this in their scope. My eyes aren't anywhere as good as they use to be and I like to take any advantages I can find regarding this. Wearing eyeglasses adds to the shorter eye relief problems with some scopes.

No lighted retical and yes it is a 60 yard scope. I am really impressed with how much light this scope gathered for a 32mm.
