I was mistaken at first too... I stated it came with a Weaver scope rail on the bow, which was incorrect

My only concern with the conversion block would be how high it lifts the scope. It may lift the scope so high that you would lose your "cheek weld" on the stock. Something as simple as a piece of pipe insulation on the stock could build up the stock if necessary. I would give it a try and see how it feels to the shooter.

I mentioned the conversion earlier. It will work, albeit the scope will be up a bit. Dad may have to stretch a bit to see but should not be a major problem as non magnifying red dots red are basically parallax free....and esp at the 20-30 yard distances he is likely to shoot this bow

Yes, you did, cossack. Im sorry for missing that. If its too high for him, I can build him an elevated cheek rest like I built for my tactical rifle... Got plenty of foam and tape left  |

Actually the stick-on, 1" (inside diameter) foam pipe insulation works great for that. Easy to put on/remove. Best Luck. Thanks for your work.  Been there, long time ago, some place starting with V I'd rather forget. |

I might have to give that idea a shot. For my rifle, i just cut pieces from an extra Army foam sleeping mat that I had, and stacked up layers to get the perfect height, then taped them together. Doesnt need to be quite as perfect for this though.
