Dave Reimer from United States, MN Public Profile

Have been archery hunting for 45 years. This year had to switch to crossbow due to shoulder. Was initially concerned with the effect of a fixed blade accuracy coming off a 425 fps crossbow. No issure within one inch a 50 yards. Expected more of a blood trail however, bolt when right thru the lung and exited right under shoulder. Bolt stuck right into the ground after going thru a good sized buck. Little to no blood on the bolt, and no blood trail. Shot was only 20 yards. Deer only went 50 yards. An stood looking at me, and then laid down. After waiting 30 minutes, shot again with the same bolt. Got up again and walk about 20 feet. That arrow went thru and again stuck in the ground. Broadhead is still in good shape and will change out the blades, broardhead is very though. Only reason not a 5 was I thought there would be more of a blood trail, maybe it's the bow and it's just so fast.

This was the 1st Styrke product that I ordered. Also the 1st time using Dvor, which is a division of Optics Plant. Both were very awarding. Price was great plus the rebate. Scope is very well made, especially like the sun shade. Have yet to try it out in the field, but looking out over Rainy Lake it looks good, even with all the haze from the ongoing wild fires northwest of here. Will be using it in a upcoming Elk Trip. The guarantee is second to none, it doesn't even request a warranty card sent in. It also has a annual free cleaning and service that comes with it's pride warranty. This all makes me proud that Styrke is based in Minnesota. Wish I new this prior to purchasing my last scope, would have tried the S7 scope. Still thinking about it if the right deal comes up.
