Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon Crossbow Scope. Your new scope is the finest
example of Nikon’s rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important
qualities for a serious crossbow shooter’s scope.
Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting
is identical. You should acquire a set of high quality mounting rings which have a
standard diameter of 25.4 mm (1inch). Follow the ring manufacturer’s instructions for
mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your crossbow, follow the procedures
for reticle alignment.
Caution
(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the crossbow scope. It will permanently damage
your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices such as cameras and
binoculars.
(2) Do NOT mount on any firearms since this is a crossbow scope.
(3) The crossbow scope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use
your scope safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the appearance
of the scope, we suggest that it be dried and cleaned prior to storage. Use a soft
cloth for cleaning metal surfaces and use photographic lens tissue to clean the
scope’s lenses.
When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then
adjust the reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from the standard
distance you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you
may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation. You can also go to www.
Nikonhunting.com/spoton to compare, graph and enhance your reticle settings. It’s up to
your personal preference.
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon crossbow scope for many years to come.
Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures!

3. Instructions
(1) Focusing
❶
Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 3 - 4 in (7.5 - 10cm)
away from the eyepiece lens, and you will see the BDC 60 reticle.
❷
Be sure your eye is positioned within proper alignment and proper eye relief
otherwise the view will “black out.”
❸
Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (Do not point at the sun) or at a
plain unpatterned wall.
❹
Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until
the reticle appears sharp.
(2) Adjustment of the crossbow scope
Sighting through the crossbow scope, align the crossbow with your aiming point on
the target and shoot a trial bolt. If the bolt does not hit the aiming point, adjust the
elevation and windage, as follows:
⃝
If the bolt hits under the aiming point, turn the elevation adjustment (counter-
clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “U” for up.
If the bolt hits high, turn adjustment (clockwise) in the direction of the arrow
marked “D” for down.
⃝
If the bolt hits to the right of the aiming point, turn the windage adjustment
(clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “L” for left. If the bolt hits to the left
of the aiming point, turn adjustment (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the
arrow marked “R” for right.
⃝
After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, replace adjustment cap
both the windage and elevation turrets.
(3) Zero setting of scale grip
The adjustment ring has a pop-up adjusting system. After the reticle has been adjusted
to the point of impact, for zero setting pull out the adjusting ring. The adjusting ring
can turn freely now, and align the zero number to index line, then release the ring. It
automatically retracts to the original position.
Waterproof Specification:
The crossbow scope is waterproof, and will suffer no damage to the optical system if
submerged or dropped in water to a maximum depth of 1 meter for up to 10 minutes.
The crossbow scope offers the following advantages:
⃝
Can be used in conditions of high humidity, dust and rain without risk of damage.
⃝
Nitrogen-filled design makes it resistant to condensation and mold.
Observe the following when using the crossbow scope.
⃝
It should not be operated nor held in running water.
⃝

knob, eyepiece, etc.) of the crossbow scope to prevent damage and for safety

of impact ¼ inch per click at 20 yards.
