Quick Review of Tru-Glo crossbow scopes!

Apoligies to all on the lousy review. I was abit P.O.ed when I started this post. It all started when I decided to try my hand with a crossbow. (Normally I hunt with a Mathews Switchback.) Anyway, I went "entry level" and bought a bow from a pawn shop. It came with a red dot and I wanted a scope and wanted a cheap scope so I ended up with the Tru-Glo. 1st mistake, it came in a plister pack. You can't tell anything from a plister pack. After installing, it seemed OK in the back yard, nice and bright. Deer hunting for me has been worse than terrible, -0- deer all season so far. Finally, Sat. came and decided to hunt with the Horton and leave the Mathews at home, 2nd mistake. I got set in my stand and soon relized, I can't see poop from this scope. About an hour into the morning stand, my first deer of the season appears, really heavy bodied 8 pointer. After a few seconds of trying to find the deer in the scope, I attempt a shot and hit the buck in the azz. Long story short, I trailed the buck for about two hours and found him held up in a creek, made a second and third unsuccessful attemps to kill the buck only to see him run across a ridge and into the private land next to where I was hunting.
To give an honest review, The glass is terrible in shaded areas, like the woods. The buck was in the creek againt the bank and was almost invisable through the scope. Adjusting the scope was simple as adjusting any scope. Price was around $80.00 and if you loose your recipt, 3rd mistake, your stuck with it.
I spent the money and bought a new Nikon crossbow scope and it is a world apart from the Tru-Glo. A lesson learned and I'm still really upset about loosing my 8 pointer.
