Zeroing The ATN X-Sight 4K Pro With ABL1000 Rangefinder To A Crossbow || TenPoint Turbo M1 Crossbow

[@countryboy360]

I put my outro up front so you can understand what I was doing good/bad. Thanks for watching.

[@drvwthdave]

I was just messing with you. Just got back into hunting after 27 years. Keep on rocking

[@countryboy360]

No problem. Couple years ago I started back after a 10 year layoff from hunting.

[@loudogfotog]

Thanks very much! great video.

[@countryboy360]

Thank you for watching.

[@RodneyMckinney-q6d]

I viewed a video that said putting the ABL mounting it on the side instead of the top will give you a more accurate reading. I think it reads more horizontally when on the side.

[@countryboy360]

I can see that. I haven’t had an issue yet but will keep this in mind if I do. Thank you for sharing your research.

[@Sully330]

You video here is the absolute best on the atn and Abl. I really appreciate you creating this. Is there a way to ask you some more specific questions? Thx in advance

[@countryboy360]

Thank you. You can ask me anything. It’s been awhile so I’m not sure how much I remember but will definitely try to help.

[@aarondingain9006]

I've got the ATN LTV 5-20 and it's a good scope only it's not as complicated as the 4k Pro and from what i can see using a ballistics calculator is a lot of messing around so it's a good job that i just stick with shooting at 30 yards

[@countryboy360]

Understand that. Kinda wish I had the more simple one since I never go over 50 yards.

[@5153flash]

Can you see the ABL lazer (red dot)through the scope when zeroing it? I am trying to zero mine and it is invisible through the scope. It can still be zeroed this way but there is no information stating this anywhere? Every video I watch it sure seems people can see the red dot through the scope. I assure you,,I cannot see it. The red dot is on the bullseye and so are the crosshairs. I have zeroed it with a lock down gun rest.

[@5153flash]

I just realized you are using IR. The scope I have is thermal. NM

[@countryboy360]

No problem. Good luck figuring it out.

[@countryboy360]

Hope you find your answer.

[@5153flash]

@@countryboy360 Figured I would come back to say when using a thermal scope you cannot see the laser thru the scope. It took me a week to find that information. lol It can still be zeroed pretty easily but that would have been a good thing to know.

[@countryboy360]

@@5153flash Maybe someone will see this and it will help them. Glad you figured it out.

[@raymondfu4992]

Did you use 3-14 or 5-20? I heard 5-20 is too close for the crossbow

[@countryboy360]

I used the 3x14. It was plenty for my needs.

[@raymondfu4992]

@@countryboy360 thanks. Have you been used 5-20 on crossbow or rifle? I heard its too close to aim

[@countryboy360]

@@raymondfu4992 I have not but ran across the same thing when researching mine. Was told to use the 3-14 for crossbow and most rifles unless you were making very long shots. I was always shooting close due to my hunting area. Hope this helps.

[@Max-fm3gu]

What mounts did you use to install the ATN ABL and the light?

[@countryboy360]

Sorry but I can’t remember. I don’t have it anymore so I can’t look at it. I’m pretty sure I used what came with it. I don’t remember buying anything extra.

[@willdungeon7633]

I’m having trouble understanding my x sight 4K pro. And the zeroing do I change the zero yard option when I get out to 50 or do I leave it at 20

[@countryboy360]

You will leave it at 20. When you zero make sure the ballistics calculator is off. After you zero at 20 turn it on. Range your target and work out to 50 so you don’t have an arrow go a crazy. When you get to 50 and shot a bolt you will then change your feet per second to adjust. After you fine tune that you should be good. I hope that this is clear. If not let me know and I’ll find away to get you my number and talk you through it. Thanks for watching.

[@willdungeon7633]

@@countryboy360 did you have to keep changing the zero range when you moved out to say 50 and past. At 50 yards my radical is at the very bottom of the screen and I can’t go past 50

[@countryboy360]

@@willdungeon7633 No. It stays at 20. So zero at 20 with ballistic cal off. After zero, turn on ballistic cal. Range target at 50 with ABL. Shoot at 50. Move your ft sec up or down in speed to get it hitting the 50 yard where you want. After that you should be good to range it with ABL and fire. I was good to 125 with mine.

[@chs9627]

How did you mount your rangefinder?? Edit: NVM, I see what you did.

[@countryboy360]

Thanks for watching and good luck. It’s an awesome setup.

[@craigmeyers517]

Do you have to keep the zoom at zero or minimal or can you use the zoom on the scope and still have it adjust accordingly?

[@countryboy360]

Zero with zoom at minimal. After that you can adjust to full and it will still be good and will adjust accordingly.

[@everydayadventureswithamph6232]

I was thinking about doing this on my crossbow. It looks very heavy. I am a mobile hunter. What are your thoughts on the additional weight?

[@countryboy360]

It’s a great setup for blinds or tree stands. I would not go humping through the woods with it. Like you said it’s heavy and will hook on any tree limb you walk pass.

[@gierhedd75]

They are HEAVY. Haha Best bet is stationary position on a tripod or a blind.

[@10robroe]

Great Video, I just got the ABL 1000 for my crossbow. I happen to love my ATN x-sight 4k 5x20x. I have it mounted on the wicked ridge nxt 400. I'm using the centerpunch x evo arrows. I really couldn't see what arrows you are using. What is the weight of your arrows? I know you are using the ballistic calculator. What are your sitting for it? I to have a channel, 10robroe-utahcrossbow hunter. hope you check it out.

[@countryboy360]

I also have a Seige RS410 which is closer in speed to your bow. Here are my settings for it. I’m using the TenPoint 16” center punch arrows with it. I can hit the target in the center with every shot while sitting in the BOG tripod with these settings. Zero: Drag: G1 Ballistic Function: .08 Bullet Weight: 403 grains Muzzle Velocity: 410 feet/sec Zero Range: 20 yards Sight Height: 3.50 inch

[@loudogfotog]

Where are you finding the ballistics info for your bolts to add into zero profile?

[@countryboy360]

I watched a couple of other videos and used their examples to come up with mine. What crossbow do you have? On my TenPoint Turbo that is rated at 375f/s I ended with these numbers. Drag-G1 Ballistic Function- .06 Bullet Weight- 420 grains. I weighed my bolt with broad head. Muzzle Velocity- 365ft/s. Started at 375f/s. At my 50 yard I had to adjust and ended here at 365f/s Zero Range- 20 yards Sight Height- 3.25. Measure from center of arrow to center of scope. Hope this helps. I’ll help you any way I can. I also zeroed in a TenPoint Siege RS410. Works great.
