What does the FPS adjustment max out at? I have a Barnett Ghost 410 and would like something that could be adjusted to that speed.

I think it's 425 fps. You will be good to go with your crossbow. The speed know might not be spot on so you'll have to zero at 20 and shoot at 30. If your hitting low turn the speed dial down. Once that is set go to 40 and so on. They also offer a free app from hawke to help.

The Hawke FPS adjustment goes up to 425. I do not believe that you can purchase a better scope for your 410. Does your 410 eat strings like my Ghost 385?

I also have the 410 ghost. It adjusts to 425 fps max. The speed adjustments are also the magnification adjustments. So, when you adjust for 410 you are stuck at about 4.5 magnification. Not bad, but not what I thought when I purchased it.

Yes yes u will be fine even with the ghost 410...it is an amazing scope. I was having trouble with the scope that came with my barnett crossbow and ever since I got the Hawke scope I haven't had any issues and haven't missed a deer or put a bad shot on one. It's a great scope

The Hawke website specs it from a low of 275 fps to 425 fps, which covers the 410 fps of your Ghost 410!

My crossbow shoots at 350fps and it stops the bolts great. Shooting a recurve you probably are well under 300fps so this is overkill and you could just use a standard yellow jacket for compound bows and the arrows will be easier to pull.

My brother's crossbow is a little over 300fps. It stops the bolt at about 10-12 inches of penetration. You should be fine.

5-800 fps depending on on number of pumps and pellet weight. Plenty fast to hurt things!

Mine was perfect right out of the box. I literally put it together and shot it at ten yards in the bullseye. 20,30,40 yards same thing. No adjustments necessary. It has a spot for 50 yards but the bow is loud so 40 is my max.

The gun I put the scope on was a gamo shadow fox 1250 that shot about 850 fps with the lead pellets I was using and didn't make it past ten shots. The reverse recoil just tore it up as well as 4 other low end scopes. I put a Bushnell on it and it holds up.

Very quickly. Fastest w/ open sighted Mossberg 500, only a little slower with a ghost ringed 590. I just timed both; 2.6 & 3.2 seconds. I'm usually no where near that quick, waking in the small hours.

I use the Barnett Cranking device. It is a bit noisy, but easy to use. I believe that quick reloading after a miss won't make any difference. That deer will probably be long gone.

I shoot at 305 fps and there is very little penetration with a 150 lb bow. At 400 I am not sure how it will perform. I think it would still stop the bolt with a little more penetration due ro the faster speed.

I am shooting a crossbow that shoots 380 fps and it stops it. It is a Stryker 380.

Depends on which arrow you use. Average is 333 fps and 180# draw weight. I have one and it's awesome.

I think you will. It was my first crossbow too and I got a nice 7 point buck this season with it. It is accurate and very easy to handle. I recommend buying the String Suppressor and the Dissipator Bars (as a combination) to quiet it down a little bit. After you get use to it, buy the Flemish string too; it will improve the velocity big time. Good luck

The scope doesn't adjust for arrow speed. You have to play with it to figure out the best way to shoot it in for your bow. The scope is rated for a 300 fps bow. The instructions say shoot the top line in for 10yds. My bow is 360fps, so I shot the top line in for 20yds. When I moved back to 30yds and used the second line it shot a little high. So what I did was adjust the scope so the second line was dead on at 30yds. then I shot at 20yds, it was 1 inch high. At 10yds it's about 1 1/2 inches high. Then I shot at 40 using the third line...dead on, then 50 using the forth line... dead on, and the fifth line is dead on at about 57yds. I hope this helps answer your question.

I would estimate around 1000fps. It's not the 1200fps it advertises. I have not tried the expensive ammo BPS though. The scope is awful and trigger pull is terrible as well. The gun has operated flawless through around 600 rounds. I recommend getting a better scope and expensive ammo if you want this to be a pigeon/squirel killing machine. Once you get use to the trigger, it's not that bad.Clean the barrel also. It helps alot with the accuracy when siting in your new scope. -Chris

Has a sticker on it when you get it that says it stops all speedbows and crossbows with fieldpoints so I would say yes mine only go in a couple inches around 300fps

Hey Jon! I have two of these ...they are toys for target plinking only. The sights are not that accurate, and for pest control, you better be right on top of what you want to exterminate. I am not sure of how big a pest you want to control, but you would be better off getting a pellet rifle/scope combination with a muzzle velocity of 1000 fps+ (and maybe .22 instead of .177) if you're serious about controlling varmints. Just my opinion. Good Luck with the hunt!

It depends on the bow and the scope. My scoped Barnett Ghost 410 slightly pushes on the top and bottom of the case plastic with no foam to cushion impacts. There appears to be room for scoped bows that are smaller but if you have a Ghost 410 you might want to look at something else.
