Scope Sight

With a scope sight with single crosshairs, the intersection of the vertical and horizontal crosshairs should be placed over the center of the target.

With a scope sight with multiple-range crosshairs, the top crosshair (usually darker than the lower ones) will be utilized as the “zero to 20 yards” crosshair. This crosshair is used to “zero” the arrow into the center of the target with the scope’s windage and elevation adjustments.
