I have a 5 line scope. Where do you guys sight in the top line? Seems like it's either 15 or 20 depending on who you read

Just like in vertical archery - 20 is my top crosshair.
I actually sight in the second line at 30 yards and the others fall into place. I have TenPoint Ramgemaster scopes in both my crossbows and it has an adjustment for the speed of the crossbow. That puts the marks dead on st 20,30, 40, and 50.
Try the second crosshair at 30 and see where everything else falls. Even with crossbows most deer are shot at 25 and less that is what I’d concentrate on..

Same here - Instructions with the one I bought say to sight in second line at 30 and 20, 40 and 50 take care of themselves. I don't see an adjustment for FPS, so I'm sure 20 will be real close, but 40 and 50 will need to be verified once I settle on a bolt for hunting.
The bow says you can shoot bolts no lighter than 370 grains. The 20" aluminum ones that came with the bow, plus a 100 grain head, weight in at 450 grains. I also have to use "omni" nocks. Does anyone know if there is much variety available for bolts with these nocks?

Omni Nocks are available for just about any shaft.. www.tenpointcrossbows.com/shop/Omni-Nock-12-pack-P80.aspx |

Just for kicks, I laid my laser bore sighter on the shooting rail and aimed at a 20 yard spot. Dead on the money at the top line. Of course I will verify by shooting but that is a great starting point!

That's not a bad idea; I may do that myself before I take it out shooting.

I shot mine a couple times at about 10 yards just to make sure it works like it should. It was right on. The manual said it was "bore sighted" for 20 yards. I ended up moving the scope forward one notch on the rail. The laser is a good idea.

Same on my new Horton Legend. Laser was on and my shot was just a little high at 20. Laser was at level ground (basement) and shooting was from my deck (13 ft drop). Need to shot more at 30 to verify both 20 and 30. Looking forward getting my 1st deer with it this fall deer season
