Frequently Asked Questions
How do I mount a scope on my TenPoint crossbow?
Mount the scope to the crossbow using rings that attach to a dovetail scope mount. Rotate the scope tube until the single duplex line is vertical and the incremental duplex lines are horizontal. Adjust for proper eye relief (3-4 inches between eye and eyepiece lens). Tighten the lower screws on the scope rings first[2][4].
How do I focus my TenPoint crossbow scope?
To focus the scope, rotate the focus ring on the outer edge of the rear bell either clockwise or counterclockwise until the image becomes clear. If your scope has flip-up lens covers, you may need to rotate the entire rear bell flip-up lens cover to access the focus ring[5].
What are the illumination settings on TenPoint scopes?
TenPoint illuminated scopes typically have red and green illumination options. Adjust brightness by turning the intensity dial on the left side of the scope. The dial should be in the "R" or "G" position when not in use[2].
How do I make windage and elevation adjustments on my TenPoint scope?
Unscrew the adjustment caps and turn the adjustment knobs in the direction needed. For elevation, use the top knob; for windage, use the side knob. At 30 yards, it takes approximately 4-5 clicks to move the point of impact by ¼ inch[2][4].
What type of battery do TenPoint illuminated scopes use?
TenPoint illuminated scopes typically use a lithium 2032 size battery. These batteries have a long shelf life and are designed to operate in low temperatures[2].
How do I replace the battery in my TenPoint scope?
To replace the battery, unscrew the illumination dial cover on the left side of the scope. Remove the old battery and insert a new 2032 lithium battery. Screw the cover back on securely to maintain the water-resistant seal[2][4].
What is the typical magnification of TenPoint crossbow scopes?
TenPoint offers various scope models with different magnifications. For example, the Multi-Line Scope features 3x magnification[3].
How do TenPoint scope reticles work?
TenPoint scopes often feature multiple aiming points calibrated for different distances. For example, the Pro-View 400 Scope has illuminated dots for 20, 30, and 40 yards, and crosshairs for 50, 60, and 70 yards[2].
Are TenPoint scopes waterproof?
While not explicitly stated in the provided information, many TenPoint scopes have O-ring seals on adjustment caps to keep water out. Always ensure caps are tightened properly after making adjustments[2][4].
How do I sight in my TenPoint crossbow scope?
Start by sighting in at close range (10-20 yards). Make coarse adjustments, then fine-tune at longer distances (30-40 yards). Use the scope's windage and elevation adjustment knobs to align your point of aim with your point of impact[2][4].
What is the speed ring on TenPoint scopes?
The speed ring allows you to calibrate the scope for your crossbow's specific arrow velocity. Some models have a locking mechanism to prevent accidental adjustments[7].
How long do the illuminated reticles last on TenPoint scopes?
Battery life depends on usage and brightness settings. To maximize battery life, always turn off the illumination when not in use. It's recommended to carry a spare battery in the field[2].
Can I use TenPoint scopes on other crossbow brands?
While TenPoint scopes are designed for TenPoint crossbows, they may be compatible with other brands that use standard dovetail mounts. Always verify compatibility before purchasing[1][3].
How do I maintain my TenPoint crossbow scope?
Keep the scope away from acid, alkaline, and other corrosives. Clean dust and dirt from the surface using a soft cloth or tissue with a small amount of alcohol. Ensure all caps are tightly secured to prevent water ingress[4].
