I Almost Blamed the Excalibur Tact Hunter Scope... Then I Found the REAL Problem!

I take the new Excalibur Tact Hunter scope to the 60 Yard Backyard to see if it may be the modern successor to his beloved Twilight DLX. After battling an unexpected sight-in problem, testing the scope on the Hydra, and dialing in the new V-Flight Pro arrows, we find out whether this simple, no-nonsense optic still has a place in today's world of high-tech crossbow scopes. 00:00 – Is the Tact Hunter the New Twilight DLX? 01:03 – Why the Twilight DLX Became a Legend 02:44 – First Look at the Tact Hunter Scope 04:22 – Mounting the Scope on the Hydra 06:46 – Speed Ring and Scope Setup 08:40 – Back to the 60 Yard Backyard 09:01 – V-Flight Pro Arrows and Hunting Plans 10:46 – Why This Scope Matters 12:12 – First Shots and Initial Sight-In 13:52 – Shooting Impressions and Lighted Nocks 15:32 – Bullseye at 20 Yards 16:27 – The Mystery Problem Appears 17:48 – Loose Rings, Problem Solved 19:27 – Inspecting the Results at 30 Yards 21:05 – Final Verdict on the Tact Hunter 21:34 – Summer Crossbow Season Begins 22:14 – Field Testing the Hydra in Camouflage 23:10 – Broadhead Verification and Crossbow Tuning 24:19 – SWAT vs. Swhacker Accuracy Check 25:48 – Crossbow Appreciation Month Preview 26:07 – All Hail Bunjie!
