Using a level on the scope works. However, if you don’t have a second level, you can hang a string from the ceiling with a small bolt or washer for a weight and line the vertical crosshair up with that. Using this method is far superior to using a level because as you showed in the video, turret caps aren’t always flat and sometimes neither are the turret wheels. As far as making windage and elevation adjustments, you don’t have to guess how many clicks to move either one. Fire your first shot from a solid, steady rest. If the arrow doesn’t hit the exact spot you are aiming at, put the crosshair where you were aiming, and while the bow is in a solid rest, adjust the crosshairs to move to cover the arrow you just shot. As far as the speed adjustment goes, Dave at Wyvern Creations has the simplest video I’ve seen on in speed, adjustable scopes. One thing to keep in mind is make sure the cables split the timing dots evenly and that your ATA measurement stayed at 10 1/2. If the string and or cables stretch that will throw off your ATA which in turn will make the bow slightly slower and throw off your yardage tapes.
Dude, that’s all great stuff. Since this is specific to Ravins most all their scopes have a good flat turrets except that sniper scope. But thanks for sharing the what I’ve called a tight line method. I do that as a quick set up at my shop, but I’m sure someone here can use that. Same goes for the windage and elevation adjustment technique. I usually only do that if I use a Bog Pod which I didn’t have. I don’t like to do that unless I can really lock it in. I’ve seen the guy from Wyvern, that is a really good video. In fact I may add a link to it in my description. All the cam timing stuff I’ll do in video #4, I’ve got some crazy examples of some jacked up Ravins. lol Thank you so much for watching and especially for your input. All really good stuff.
You will love that R10X, solid choice. I’ve got a 4th video I’ll have ready soon. Maintaining and troubleshooting will be the last one. Thanks so much for watching.
A fine point sharpie is your friend. I use one for my speed dial, the eye relief dial and the timing dots on the cams. Every time I pick it up, I glance at them to make sure they are still set.
Great Ravin series. Didn't you say on a previous video you would be doing a part 4 ? Is that correct and if so when will it be available? Thanks. Also,I'm curious, what state are you located in?
That is incorrect. (Pg 10) Section 3 #6 “Tighten the upper rings, alternating between front and back screws, while keeping an eye on your scope levels. Keep slightly tightening and alternating from front to back and torque to 15 in.-lbs. Over-tightening the mounting rings will damage the scope and void the warranty.” The reason I didn’t mention it is because most people don’t have torque wrench anyway.
I tried sighting in my ravin 10 yesterday and after eight shots at 20 yards, I was still skipping arrows and I was shooting off of shooting stick so I wasn’t dropping my crossbow
