I had one of these and 1 fall on windy day and it snap in middle - it's all from plastic......
Now I have second hand Nikon field scope - bit off your budget, but you get wahat you pay for...it's lovely glass...Good and very compact one is KOWA 501....just need bit of hunting and you can get it around 100-120.....
Doesn't have to be wind. I had a mighty midget broken on a calm day... Whoever knocked it over didn't own up.I had one of these and 1 fall on windy day and it snap in middle - it's all from plastic......

Same happened to my mighty midget and because my tripod weighs about the same a a small car it was not the windDoesn't have to be wind. I had a mighty midget broken on a calm day... Whoever knocked it over didn't own up.
Yes if you want to have a bad day, look through quality scopeFor the price its plenty good enough for archery.
With optics you really do get what you pay for,I once shot with a guy using a Swarovski scope.
He offered me a look through it.
I could have thrown my scope away after that,the image was astounding,bright and crisp.
At ?1200 (back in the 90's) I wasn't going to rush out and get one.
Get what you can afford and be happy with it,an expensive scope will NOT get you any more points,trust me.
That's it, just you taunt me with cheap products I can't get to...Just a heads-up for those on a severe budget -
Aldi have their mega-bargain-basement scopes from 19th June. Just ?25 for a usable scope. LINK All you need is a cheap tripod.
