Scopes, circles or crosshairs?

I prefer crosshairs to circles.

Crosshairs for my old eyes.

Circles remind me of rifle competition no scope but peep and blade. I prefer a scope with crosshsirs

Sure glad to see I'm not an exception!

CrossHairs with Firedot!My Fav is the German #4 and have it one several!

Crosshairs for my 79 yr old eyes. P{preferably lighted for early and late.

Yep circles suck. Dots are better than crosshairs.

So that settles that. All crosshair scopes are not equal either. Our eye sight, even in our younger years, varies greatly from person to person. Look at as many as you can before buying.

Crosshairs for me.

Crosshairs. They are more precise.

Well I'll be 72 this month so my vision isn't that great. I have a Barnett which the scope has circles. To see the circles clearly, I have to adjust the scope so it blurs the target, plus it's hard for me to concentrate on a spot. With my Centerpoint and a crosshair scope I seem to be able to group my shots much better. What's everybody else experiences between circles and crosshairs?

Crosshairs for me I don't think circles belong on a scope

Crosshairs.

I have one of each on two crossbows and theyre both fine with me. Seldom do I use more than the top two reticles. Everything is very vivid and clear for me. The circles are small enough that up close ranges keeps you in the bullseye. I should add that my longest shots are at 45 yards and I only use the top three reticles on either scopes (25, 35 and 45 yardages).

Crosshairs plus a bubble level on rail

I hunted … with a circles reticle for a season or two of my early crossbow days when there were hardly any choices for "crossbow" specific scopes. I didn't like the lack of precision at all. It made me feel uncomfortable. I will say this though, I never missed or wounded a deer with that scope. It didn't take long before I realized there were infinitely better choices available if I mounted a rifle scope. Dumped the Hawkes and mounted a Zeiss.

I tried circles last fall. I shot them very good on the 10's. After using a scope i could dial in the yardage with a crosshair dot for years. Guessing where to hold on a deer or target at lets say 47 yds. Wasn't a strong suite of mine.

For older eyes or weak eyes a good rifle scope setting on a optimizer is very hard to beat. Or even better is a Vortex XBR scope setting on a optimizer set up correctly. Gives you the best of everything.
