new red dots
have you guys seen these? It say there parralex free from 30 yards. Not sure if that means to 30 yards or after. To 30 yards would make more sense I guess.http://www.bowhunterssuperstore.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=crossbow+sight s&osCsid=287b14a819905fd972bbf5eee11397db& x=0&y=0

RE: new red dots
I actually have some of these on order. At the ATA show they had alot of glare but that was more likely from the huge lights above us. I want to try them outside. They are very cool though and the compensation is a great feature

RE: new red dots
There is a dial on the unit that allows you to change the spacing of the red dots. THe top one stays put and you have several choices of how far appart the next two down are. If you have a very fast bow you use the dots that are very close together...the slower the bow the farther appart they are. They even have a few choices where the gap between the top and the middle dot is closer than the gap between the middle and the bottom (for very slow bows or very heavy broadheads) It is a selection of several gaps, not individualy adjustable...still very cool

RE: new red dots
No, you can move your head and the dots will stay in focus, but they are supposed to also stay centered on the target rather than moving to one side or another. The surface of the reflector is convexed so the dots kinda "roll over the face". Not a good description, I am sorry. Again, not having tried this out yet, I would assume that that feature is from 30yrd to the bow...Kinda useless if it is the other way around.
