Barnett 2-7x36mm Crossbow Scope

Important Warnings

• NEVER attempt to look at or view the sun using a scope. Permanent eye damage will result.
• Make certain the crossbow is unloaded and uncocked when making adjustments to this scope (installation, sighting-in, etc.).
• NEVER shoot a crossbow anywhere other than an approved shooting range. Strictly follow all warnings and precautionary statements included with your crossbow instruction manual.
• Ensure the scope is mounted far enough forward to preclude contacting it when shooting. Rearward movement (i.e., "crossbow recoil") occurs when the crossbow arrow is discharged. Placing your eye or eyes in close proximity or against the scope while shooting will result in personal injury.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean the scope internally. Doing so immediately voids the warranty and will render the scope unusable.
• Keep the protective lens covers in place when the scope is not in use.
• Clean external optical surfaces with the provided lens cloth or optical quality lens paper. Remove external dirt or sand with gentle air pressure (e.g., canned compressed air) and a soft brush to avoid scratching the lens finish.
• In a salty environment, wipe the scope with a damp cloth, then with a dry cloth. Wipe down metal portions with a silicone cloth to protect against corrosion. Do not spray with a silicone lubricant aerosol.
• Store this scope in a moisture-free environment. Avoid storing in vehicle passenger compartments or trunks as temperature can adversely affect internal lubricants and sealants.
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Adjusting the Ocular Lens

The ocular lens housing has a fast-focus thread that quickly adjusts to make the reticle as sharp as possible for your individual eyesight. Set the focus of the reticle in similar light conditions and at the approximate range (distance) at which you expect to use your scope. The reticle should be sharp the moment you glance through the scope. It may take several attempts to achieve perfect focus.

Adjusting Eye Relief/Field of View

A good, clear, level crossbow scope "sight picture" or "field of view" is achieved when the crossbow is held in your normal shooting position and a full field can be viewed without straining or stretching your head and/or neck. This optimum adjustment may require moving the scope assembly either forward or backward on the crossbow's picatinny rail. Follow these steps:

1. Support the uncocked/unloaded crossbow on a sturdy surface and loosen the scope ring base cap screws using the provided 7/64" Allen wrench.
2. Raise the crossbow to a standard shooting position and look through the scope. Adjust the scope forward or backwards as necessary until a clear, unobstructed field of view can be seen without straining your head and/or neck. NOTE: Ensure your eye is not in close proximity to the scope assembly. Positioning your eye too closely may result in injury upon the crossbow's recoil. If your eye is too close, use the ocular lens adjustment to adjust the scope focus and move your eye further from the lens.
3. Rotate the scope so the horizontal crosshair is parallel to the string and limbs. Once parallel, retighten the top ring screws and double-check that the scope hasn't moved from its optimal functioning position. As a secondary reference, check the vertical crosshair is parallel against a straight vertical edge (e.g., a door frame).
4. Once set, check the scope assembly every few shots for tightness and ensure it stays securely mounted. Readjust/retighten as appropriate.

Initially Zeroing the Scope

Ensure your backstop is secure. Backstops are used to stop errant shots and protect surrounding property and/or persons from damage and danger.

1. Place a target (approved for "crossbow use") on the backstop at a measured distance of 10 yards (30 ft / 9.14 m).
2. After following all precautionary statements and warnings, aim the top (20 yard aim point) reticle at the center of the target and execute a shot. Note the point of arrow impact on the target.
3. Remove the caps from the windage and elevation turrets and make an appropriate adjustment to the turret to bring the point of impact (POI) closer to the point of aim (POA).

Point of Aim (POA) vs. Point of Impact (POI): POA is the spot on the target where the shooter is aiming. POI is where your arrow actually strikes the target.

1. Establish in what direction(s) the bullseye was missed. For instance, if the shot was high, rotate the elevation turret clockwise. Note: At 10 yards, both windage and elevation turrets move the POA 1/20th of an inch per "click." So 20 clicks will move the POI approximately one inch.
2. After achieving the bullseye at 10 yards, move back to 20 yards (60 feet / 18.2 m). Repeat the previous steps to zero-in the scope at 20 yards. Note: At 20 yards, both windage and elevation turrets move the POA 1/10th of an inch per "click." So 10 clicks will move the POI approximately one inch.

Adjusting the Speed Selector

Once you have finished zeroing your top reticle at 20 yards, you can adjust the speed dial to the advertised feet per second of your crossbow. At a measured distance of 30 yards (90 ft / 27.4 m) and using the 30 yard reticle aim point (second from top), shoot the crossbow at the target.

• If the arrow impacts high: Loosen the speed locking ring, then turn the speed on the speed adjustment selector higher. The next arrow fired should impact lower.
• If the initial shot impacts low: Turn the speed adjustment selector lower. The arrow should impact higher on the target.

Once the 30 yard reticle is sighted in, the scope is calibrated, and the speed locking ring can be tightened to secure your settings. The more precise your second reticle is at 30 yards, the more precise the remaining reticles will be at longer distances. Small tweaks to the speed selector may be necessary for longer distances. It is recommended to target shoot your crossbow at all potential distances you intend to shoot in a hunting scenario.

Shooting Aiming Point Gaps: In cases where targets fall between aiming points (e.g., 38 yards), you may consider shooting the gap between your 30 and 40 yard aiming points (depending on your bow's speed). This is referred to as "shooting the aiming point gap." It is highly recommended to carry a laser range finder on all hunting and shooting excursions to minimize guessing yardage distances.

Illuminated Reticle

The 2-7 x 36mm crossbow scope is equipped with 9 reticle aim points, which can be illuminated either red or green. The illumination on/off switch and brightness control rheostat are positioned on the scope's side (illumination dial). The system is powered by a CR2032 3V coin-style battery, located under the screw-on battery cover. Ensure the "positive" (+) side faces up when replacing the battery.

The reticle illuminates in two colors: red and green, ranging from low intensity for low-light use to high intensity for bright conditions.

To power on the illumination, rotate the dial clockwise or counter-clockwise. The reticles will illuminate red or green depending on the direction. Continue rotating the dial to increase illumination intensity. To turn off the illumination, rotate the dial back to the "G/R" position indicated at the base of the dial.
