Today, my shots were limited but noteworthy at 11 shots since 100 yards has been in play this summer. I found an area that I ranged in at 100 yards to the specs of my BearX IntenseCD/Hawke XB-1 speed scope and Barnett TS370/Sig Sauer Red Dot Romeo5/HHA Optimizer. Shot same arrows. One other notable difference. I manually rope cocked my TS370 and I used the Carbon Express CCD and BearX rope sled. Yea, that target looks far because it is. 
Round 1:
Barnett TS370,
Marty's strings
BloodSport Witness, 4 Arrows/2.88" Vanetech vanes 425 grain +/- 2 grains
Manually cocked
Sig Sauer Romeo5 single Red Dot 2moa/HHA Optimizer, no magnification
Elevation is on point in my opinion. I was a little anxious first round.
Round 2:
Barnett TS370,
Marty's strings
BloodSport Witness, 5 Arrows/3.15" Vanetech vanes 425 grain +/- 2 grains (Note: I felt I pulled the arrow far right and it did)
Manually cocked
Sig Sauer Romeo5 single Red Dot 2moa/HHA Optimizer, no magnification
Elevation is on point in my opinion.
Overall satisfied with just 9 shots.
Round 3:
BearX IntenseCD
Marty's strings
BloodSport Witness, 2 Arrows/3.15" Vanetech vanes 425 grain +/- 2 grains
Carbon Express CCD with BearX rope sled
Speed Scope: Hawke XB-1 previously tested as accurate out to 70 yards
First Shot: I missed the target short shooting at the center of the target. Yikes!
Second Shot: raised POI to the top bullseye.
Hawke XB-1 Consclusions: I stopped shooting after the second shot.
This scope does not hold elevation accurately past 70 yards jumping to 100 yard shooting. I measured the elevation drop and it's 13" off at 100 yards. Yikes!!!! Something is not right going from 70 to 100 yards with the Hawke reticles. 20 -70 yards it's legit! Now I have not shot at 80 or 90 yards so can't I comment on those distances.
Note: Windage is perfect and I suspect that has to do with the Carbon Express CCD and the BearX rope sled. Also, Scope FOV shows the bullseye very well. Back to my red dot and 100 yard shooting. I can improve but it ain't easy folks but fun as H.E. double hockey sticks!
To be continued. Amazing how long it takes to hear the arrow hit the target.
Here is same Hawke XB-1 BearX Intense setup at 70 yards.
