Lenses

Q: What is the actual diameter of the Super Scope Lenses?
A: The 1 3/8″ lens measures 1.125″ (approximately1 1/8). The 1 5/8″ lens measures 1.345″ (approximately1 3/8). The Super D lens measures 2.167″ x 1.905″. The Pro Series XL lens measures 1.75″.
Q: What lens powers are used most frequently for what situations?
A: For Spot Archery (Indoors, Field, and FITA style shooting) the 4X and 6X lenses are most common.
For 3D Archery the 3X and 4X lenses are most common
These guidelines are general, and may not work for you. People use a variety of lenses for all types of archery. Some people prefer a 2X or 3X for target shooting, and others prefer a 6X for 3D shooting. It is a trial and error situation to find what works best for each individual.
Q: How do I figure out the diopter of my scope lens?
A: The diopter of a scope lens is the lens power divided by 8.
o 2x .25
o 3x .375
o 4x .5
o 6x .75
o 7x .875
o 8x 1.0
Q: What should I do if the fiber in my Glow Lens does not fit snuggly?
A:Wrap a small piece if transparent tape around the end of the fiber that is inserted in the lens hole.
Q: What is the Dual Lens?
A: The Dual Lens is a significant improvement in lens design. The concept of the dual lens is to magnify the spot you are shooting at and also give slight magnification to the rest of your target. This has been proven to reduce target panic and allow you to settle onto your target more comfortably. Both parts of the lens are optically centered, which is very important when choosing a lens.
You simply center the target in the center lens and release. This is very accurate because you are not covering up what you’re shooting at and eliminates target panic.
The dual lens should be adjusted to center the target by allowing you to see a little bit around the perimeter of the spot that you’re aiming at. This is done by moving the sight extension in or out after you have chosen the correct diameter center lens.
The outer part of the dual lens is 2 power. This gives you just enough magnification to enhance the field of view while still making it comfortable to hold on the target.
The dual lenses are available in 3 different center lens diameters: .250″ (1/4″), .312″ (5/16″) or .375″ (3/8″) and 3 different magnifications: (4X, 6X and 8X.)
Q: Fields of view for Dual Lens Scopes:
A: Fields of view will also depend on an archer’s draw length and the amount the sight is extended on the sighting bar. The following fields of view were established at a 34″ peep sight-to-scope distance.
If an archer EXTENDS the sight bar out, the power of the lens will INCREASE, and the field of view seen through the center lens will DECREASE.
If an archer RETRACTS the sight bar in, the power of the lens will DECREASE, and the field of view seen through the center lens will INCREASE.
