Congratulations on the purchase of your new Hawke XB Compact SR crossbow scope. Your new scope is a high perfor-mance optical product designed to pro-vide years of service. Please read these instructions carefully before use.

WARNING: NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN WITH THIS SCOPE AS IT MAY PERMANENTLY DAM-AGE YOUR EYES.

CAUTION: BE SURE THAT THE CROSSBOW IS NOT LOADED WHEN MOUNTING THE SCOPE. ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE CROSS-BOW HANDLING.

CAUTION: ALL SHOOTING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA.

CAUTION: BE SURE THAT THE SCOPE IS MOUNTED FAR ENOUGH FORWARD - ITS REARWARD MOTION MAY INJURE THE SHOOTER WHEN THE CROSSBOW RECOILS.

MOUNTING THe SCOPe

Support your un-cocked crossbow on a sturdy surface and position a good quality set of rings on the crossbows scope mount-ing rail. Tighten the ring clamping bolts to the scope mounting rail to 30 inch pounds.

Determine the best eye relief. This is achieved when the crossbow is held in your normal shooting position and a full sight picture is viewed without straining or stretching your head or neck. This optimum adjustment may also require the rings to be moved along the scope rail.

With the top ring screws still loosened slightly, rotate the scope so that the hori-zontal crosswire is parallel with the cross-

bow string and limbs, when viewed through the scope. Next, tighten the top ring screws to 16 inch pounds and double check that the scope hasn’t moved from its optimum position.

AdjUSTING THe OCUlAR leNS

The ocular lens housing has a fast focus thread that quickly adjusts to make the reticle as sharp as possible when viewed through the scope.

Set the focus of the reticle in similar light conditions and at the approximate range at which you expect to use your scope.

While looking through the ocular end of the scope, view the reticle on a neutral background such as a white surface or the sky. Turn the adjustment ring until the reticle is in focus; it should be sharp the mo-ment you glance through the scope.

INITIAllY zeROING YOUR SCOPe

Choose a place to shoot your crossbow with a safe backstop and ensure that no one can step unseen into or in front of the firing line.

Initially, place a target on the backstop at about 10 yards and take a shot at its center.Remove the dust covers from the windage and elevation turrets of the scope and make a suitable adjustment to the turret to bring the point of impact (POI) closer to the point of aim (POA).

For example - if the arrow has landed lower than required; rotate the elevation turret counter clockwise to raise the point of impact. A high impact point requires a clockwise adjustment.

Both turrets move the POA a 1/2 minute of angle per click – this is equal to a 1/2 inch at 100 yards or a 1/20th of an inch at 10 yards.

After achieving an approximate zero at 10 yards, move back to a measured 20 yards and continue adjusting the turrets until the top cross of the reticle and the point of im-pact are the same. At this range, each click equals 1/10th of an inch. (10 clicks to move the impact 1”) When you are happy with the 20 yard zero, replace the turret covers.

CAlIBRATING YOUR SCOPe TO THe CROSSBOW

Adjusting the speed selector also adjusts the magnification. Start by setting it to the manufacturers advertised speed of your crossbow.

Move to a measured 30 yards from the tar-get. Using the 30 yard marker in the scope, (the second crosswire down) shoot the crossbow at the target.

If the arrow impacts the target high, turn the speed selector higher and the next arrow fired will impact the target lower. If the arrow impacts the target lower, turn the speed selector lower and the next arrow fired will impact the target higher.

Once the 30 yard crosswire is sighted in the scope is now calibrated to your crossbow and all of the other aiming points will be correct. At this time, the speed/magnifi-cation selector will need to remain in this position to keep the scope and the cross-bow calibrated to each other.

Crossbows with speeds over 410 fps and using a lighter arrow combination may require a main crosswire sight-in point of

30 yards instead of the normal 20 yards. This will require calibrating the scope at 40 yards to compensate for the flat trajectory of this combination of components.

CAUTION: THE SCREW IN THE MAGNIFICA-TION RING IS NOT A LOCK AND SHOULD NOT BE TAMPERED WITH AS THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

IllUMINATed ReTICle

The central aim points can be illuminated in either red or green. The control rheostat for operating the illumination is positioned on the saddle.

There are 5 intensities for each color. These range from very low intensity (1 and 2) for low light use and high intensity (3, 4 and 5) for use in bright conditions. The aim points are visible in black when set to either R or G.

The battery is a CR2032 3V coin style. This is positioned underneath the rheostat cap. When replacing the battery always ensure the positive (+) is facing up.

RANGe fINdING WITH THe ReTICle

The XB Compact SR reticle can be used to bracket the target and calculate the range. Brackets of 4”, 8”, 12” and 16” can be achieved at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yards - only with the speed set at 425 fps (5x mag).

MAINTAINING YOUR SCOPe

Your scope is a precision instrument that deserves a high level of care. Do not at-tempt to disassemble or clean internally.

Keep the protective lens covers in place when the scope is not in use.

The external optical surfaces should be wiped clean occasionally with the lens cloth provided or an optical quality lens paper. Remove any external dirt or sand with high pressure air and a soft brush to avoid scratching the lens finish.

Wipe the scope with a damp cloth, then with a dry cloth, then go over the metal section of the scope with a silicone cloth in order to protect against corrosion.

Always store the scope in a moisture-free environment. Avoid storing the scope in places such as the passenger compart-ments of vehicles on hot days as the high temperatures could adversely affect the lubricants and sealants. Never leave the

scope where direct sunlight can enter either the objective or the eyepiece lens as damage may result from the concentration (burning effect) of the sun’s rays.

BAllISTIC ReTICle CAlCUlATOR (BRC)

The 1.5-5x32 XB Compact SR reticle is included in the free Hawke BRC software. It is available for PC, MAC and iPhone and can be downloaded from hawkeoptics.com or the Appstore. The BRC allows users to determine aim points when shooting cross-bows with speeds from 250 fps - 425 fps.
