Welp I was really loving it till yesterday when it shit the bed and stoped working. Cost me half day hunt yesterday and half day today. Good news is I called them and it has a life time warranty so they took my email and said they would send me shipping instructions well that was noon yesterday still nothing. When I asked turn around time I was told four to six weeks. Maybe I will be able to use it for winter bow or maybe not. They are making them for rifles now out to 500 yards big bucks and I was actually considering getting one. Think I just came to my census

Ugh sorry to hear!  Did you try changing batteries?  They go through batteries very quickly

Yea I noticed the battery was dead yesterday I always carry a spare I put the spare in pushed the fire  button it powered on but when I pushed it the second time to range it it goes to a blank screen as if it’s powering off  and if I push the fire button to power on then use the remote to ranges does the same thing blank screen powers off

I was thinking about getting it or the Garmin but then I thought my luck it will break during the season.  I'm happy with the Tenpoint scope that came with the crossbow, in fact, I think it's a great scope

It was a bad battery my spare was bad somehow. Just put a new one in out of the same pack that I took the bad one from and it’s fine. So I’m loving the scope again. Go get one it’s a game changer 😂

I just had the exact same thing happen to me - it was battery for my truck key fob. Came in a pack of 5. First one I used was bad right out of the package. Second one was fine.

This battery of yours - you didn't happen to buy it on Amazon did you? And was it one of those button batteries?

Hahah great news!  They are known to eat batteries that's for sure.  Use lithiums!
