[QUOTE="msd4141, post: 555046, member: 36450"] Hey shooter981, I know exactly what you are going through. I just sent a message to xbow755 earlier today asking him if he had this issue, and how he dealt with it if he did have that problem. To start with, I paper tuned the bow with an arrow with no fletching until I was getting bullet holes. I only used 1 arrow over and over to acomplish this. I then proceeded to install my scope on my HHA Optimizer. I knew from reading the posts on the forums that the scope would have to be shimmed in the front in order to have the cross hairs be zeroed at 20 yards. The shim IMHO is needed whether you use an Optimizer, or just a scope on the rail. This will allowyou to set the elevation, and windage on your scope to the mid point in both directions to start your zero in at 20 yards. ( I learned from trial and error when I first purchased the xbow that when trying to lower my scope to zero in at 20yds the windage became very limited in adjustment.) I am very particular to crank the bow back just barely enough to have the release sled fall into the slots. I have also insured that the cranking string knot was sitting flush in the cranking drum.
