Same as they always have been... junk! I replaced mine.

 

I use the 3 dot scope for hunting and there is nothing wrong with it ... just use loctite on the scope screws.

I love shooting with both eyes open.I would use the red dot till it screwed up ,then change to your choice of scope. JMO

 

I have not had any problems with my red dot scope so far that came with my C5, it's been three years now. Give it a go and if it fails replace it, save the money until you have issues. STM.

 

I have used the red dots on my jackal and recruit and never worried about it.

 

I have the original red dot that came on a new bow (TenPoint) over 15 years ago. It still works great as long as my batteries are good!

 

If you can afford it, get yourself a Hawke XB1 lighted and you won't look back.

I used it on my recruit, it's not bad at all, it does the job that's all that matters, but I have like 3 4x32 scopes so I put a tru glo scope on it because I like the extra zoom because I'm not a big red dot fan of any kind of red dot

I put the 3-dot Barnett on my Recruit when I first got it last week and didn't like it, so I bought the Hawke 1.5-5 IR SR scope and mounted that. Last night I was playing around and looked thru the Barnett again on the lower settings, it's not as bad as I first thought.

 

its better than most industry standard red dots, and they are very easy to sight in

 

I have the same red dot. No reason to change it unless it breaks.

I have a red dot on my B.C. and it's doing a good job. I tagged out this year with it.

 

Hey for around $50.00 you can put a horton hawke on there speed dial lighted rectle, there is no warranty on this scope, cause horton went out of business, but hey for the money, worth a look. I bought one and never looked back, also own an xb-30 !!! Happy Trails !!!! PS if the battery dies you can still use the scope, like all hawke scopes !!!

 

Howie,
On my Recruit I had no horizontal adjust on the 3 dot scope. Barnett replaced it in 3 days but I had to pay the postage. I would have had to send the whole bow back to the Sportsman's Guide with free shipping. I went with Barnett complaining about the warranty
not having free shipping. They sent me a great camo hat, which its worth i more than the shipping I paid. I never used the site which is still in the box. Put a illuminated scope on instead. Good Luck!

 

Love my Barnett, 1st bow was a jackal with three dot. Was happy with it till a 8ptr stepped out 10at 27 1/2 yards and I sent a 100 gr B-head with lumenok flying 10inches under his chest.
Went to the Nikon X/CR have been dead on from that point.
