Barnett 1x30mm Premium Red/Green 3 Dot Crossbow Scope

Thank you for choosing Barnett™. Please read these operating instructions completely before mounting your premium red dot sight.

Installation

With the provided 3/32" Allen key, loosen the 2 locking screws at the bottom of the sight (Figure 1. Item G) counter-clockwise 5 turns to allow for installation onto the picatinny rail on your crossbow. Do NOT exceed 10 turns as this can release the spring and separate the mounting block from the scope completely.

Attach the sight base onto the picatinny rail with the eyepiece (Figure 1. Item A) positioned towards the rear of the bow. Ensure that the 2 screws in the base of the sight are seated correctly in the grooves of the picatinny rail so that the sight sits flush. As there is no set eye relief for red dot sights, allow a minimum of three inches of space between the eyepiece and the shooter's eye when in the shooting position. Tighten locking screws with the provided 3/32" Allen key. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping these screws.

Installing Batteries & Illumination

Your red dot sight is powered by one 3V lithium coin style battery, type 2032. To install the battery, unscrew the Battery Compartment Cap (Figure 1, Item D) on top of the rheostat illumination knob and insert the battery with the positive (+) side up. Replace the battery cover. If the red dot dims or does not light at all, replace the battery with a new one.

Activate the red dot sight and adjust for desired brightness by turning the Rheostat Illumination Knob (Figure 1, Item E). Lower numbers represent dimmer settings, and higher numbers represent brighter settings of illumination. The "R" and "G" designate red color and green color respectively, with the arrow facing towards those brightness settings. Setting the knob on either "R" or "G" will turn off illumination.

Initial Zeroing of Sight

Before beginning the zeroing process, remove the adjustment caps (Figure 1, Item B & C). With the sight leveled and mounted, rest the crossbow on a solid support. Be aware of your target and what is beyond it. During the zeroing process, the windage and elevation adjustment of the scope will be checked and corrected.

Aim the top dot at the bullseye of your target at 20 yards and shoot 3 arrows to confirm the placement pattern of your shots. It is recommended to remove the arrows after each shot to reduce the risk of damaging them.

After firing the first group, evaluate the position of impact (POI) relative to the position of aim (POA). The adjustment turrets are marked with arrows showing the direction to rotate the turret to affect the noted POI change. For example, if the arrow grouping was low compared to the bullseye, rotate the elevation turret (Figure 1, Item C) counter-clockwise to raise the POI. Similarly, if the grouping is to the right of the bullseye, rotate the windage turret (Figure 1, Item B) counter-clockwise to move the group to the left.

It is recommended to adjust only elevation or windage after each group to minimize variability. Continue to fire small groups and adjust until the POI settles on top of the POA. Next, the remaining dot ranges can be set.

Setting Dot Ranges

The 3-dot sight is designed with a triad of dots that allow for rapid adjustment of POA to compensate for arrow drop at increasing ranges. Each bow will present different dot ranges due to varying speeds, so ranges listed are only a guide. (Arrow weight changes will also affect these ranges, so be sure to set the ranges with an arrow/point combination reflective of intended use).

EXAMPLE (Yardages will vary from bow to bow)

The top dot will be for the shortest yardage; it is recommended to sight this in at 20 yards as described previously. To set the second dot, gradually move your target out further until your POI and PDA are both in the center of the bullseye using the second dot (noting the yardage when this occurs). Repeat this process for the third dot.

Maintenance

When not in use, the Red Dot Sight should be kept in one of the off positions, in a clean, dry, and ventilated place away from any corrosive material. Never try to take the sight apart or clean it internally. Send your sight to a qualified service station if it ever needs repair. Lens surfaces may be cleaned with a lens cloth.
