Postavljanje i instalacija
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Always ensure your crossbow is unloaded and safe before beginning installation.
1. Raspakivanje i pregled
Carefully remove the scope and accessories from the packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. The package should include the Hawke XB30 Crossbow Scope and lens covers.

2. Montiranje teleskopa
The XB30 scope is designed for Picatinny mounts. Ensure your crossbow has a compatible rail. Secure the scope rings to the rail according to the ring manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are properly aligned and tightened to the recommended torque specifications. Place the scope into the bottom halves of the rings, ensuring the reticle is level. Attach the top halves of the rings and tighten the screws evenly, alternating between screws to apply even pressure. Do not overtighten.
3. Adjusting Eye Relief
With the scope mounted, shoulder your crossbow in your natural shooting position. Adjust the scope's position forward or backward in the rings until you achieve a full, clear field of view without any black crescent shapes (vignetting) around the edges. This is your optimal eye relief. Once set, tighten the ring screws securely.
4. Boresighting
Boresighting is an initial alignment process to get your scope close to the point of impact before fine-tuning at the range. This can be done using a boresight tool or by visually aligning the bore with the reticle. Consult your crossbow's manual for specific boresighting procedures.
Operating the Scope
1. Podešavanje uvećanja
The XB30 features a variable magnification range of 1.5-6x. Rotate the magnification ring, located near the ocular lens, to adjust the desired magnification level. Higher magnification provides a closer view of the target but reduces the field of view.
2. Speed Adjuster (Vari-Speed Technology)
The unique Vari-speed technology allows you to calibrate the reticle to your crossbow's specific speed (250 fps to 475 fps). Locate the speed selector ring, typically near the objective end of the scope. Rotate this ring to match the advertised or measured speed of your crossbow. This ensures the aim points on the reticle correspond accurately to the specified distances.
3. Using the XB30 Compact SR Reticle
The glass-etched reticle features multiple aim points for various distances, from 20 to 100 yards, with 5-yard increments. The 10-yard aim points include windage bars and dots to assist with compensation for 10 mph and 20 mph crosswinds. Familiarize yourself with the reticle pattern and practice at various distances to understand its holdovers.
4. Reticle Illumination
The XB30 features an illuminated reticle for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The illumination control is typically a rheostat dial on the side of the scope. Rotate the dial to turn on the illumination and adjust its brightness. Turn off the illumination when not in use to conserve battery life.
5. Windage and Elevation Adjustments
The scope has capped windage and elevation turrets. Remove the caps to access the adjustment dials. Each click of the turret moves the point of impact by a specified amount (e.g., 1/2 MOA or 1/4 MOA). Turn the elevation turret (top) to adjust vertical aim and the windage turret (side) to adjust horizontal aim. Always make adjustments based on your shot group's deviation from the target.
Održavanje i njega
Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Hawke XB30 scope.
1. Čišćenje sočiva
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a lens brush to remove dust and loose debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a specialized lens cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

2. Čišćenje tijela
Wipe the scope body with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. Dry thoroughly. Avoid submerging the scope in water, even though it is waterproof, to prevent potential damage to external components.
3. Skladištenje
Store the scope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided lens covers to protect the objective and ocular lenses when not in use.

4. Zamjena baterije
If the reticle illumination dims or stops working, replace the battery. Refer to the scope's specific battery type and replacement instructions, usually found by unscrewing the illumination control cap.
Rješavanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Blurry Image / Reticle | Improper focus or eye relief. | Adjust the ocular focus ring until the reticle is sharp. Re-adjust eye relief as described in the Setup section. |
| Point of Impact Shifts (Losing Zero) | Loose mounting rings or base; damaged scope. | Check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened to specifications. If the problem persists, inspect the scope for damage or consult a professional. |
| Reticle Illumination Not Working | Dead battery; faulty illumination module. | Replace the battery. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. If still not working, contact Hawke support. |
| Difficulty Adjusting Turrets | Turret caps not fully removed; debris. | Ensure turret caps are completely removed. Check for any debris obstructing the dial. |
