Is the scope inaccurate?

its a mankung? the scope that come with it isnt holding zero and is a pain in the arse to use. i thought i could go with open sights and get it with the drop comensation etc. most of my hunting is on the tops.

Did you check the rail screws? The rail on my PSE Reaper had a spring to dampen vibration and it could be moved by hand accuracy was shit over 25 yds so just tightened the screws and can shoot 3 inch at 45 yds.

Do you spin test your bolts? Some of them comes with the inserts glued in in a slight angle, most xbows shoot better with heavier stuff. Make your life easier and buy good quality carbon bolts, it makes a huge difference.

You can probably make sights for it, try rear AR popup sight and an L shape mount for the front to clear the fletching. Most barrels are drilled on the side just before the arms to mount front sight.
