Crossbow Scope Recommendation - Realiability

[tm7554]

Trying to set up a crossbow for a youth hunter. Is there one that holds zero? Scope that came with it was garbage. Changed to a vortex crossbow scope. Functions fine. Bump it and it loses zero. What’s the most reliable's optic for this?

Send back the vortex if it has an issue. Vortex should be fine. I had a few Tenpoint scopes and no issues. But literally any scope should work just depends what you want.

Take a look at these Hawke Crossbow Scopes

I broke a swfa lpvo on my son’s xbow. Got the vortex and it’s held so far. Bizarre world but I guess the swfa lpvo aren’t as reliable as the other offerings. They replaced it but I sold it.

I’m a big fan of the Excalibur Overwatch scope, have them on a few different bows now. Used to get take offs for $100 from Wyvern but didn’t see any listed right now.

If it’s legal and you don’t mind the cost the DNT Zulu V2 3-12 is the current hotness.

But would any survive the drop test,

I can’t remember which TenPoint scope it was but it did not hold zero after a 20’ fall out of a tree stand when the lift rope broke.

It wasn’t off a ton and I got it rezeroed with a shot or two but it was definitely off.

What crossbow do you have. My barnet is a plastic scope mount thing that’ll flex and lose zero if stressed.
