Hawke XB30 FFP 2–8×36 Crossbow Scope
The Hawke XB30 FFP 2–8×36 brings true variable magnification to crossbow shooting. Unlike fixed-power or SFP crossbow scopes, the first focal plane (FFP) design keeps the reticle’s holdover marks accurate at every magnification setting — use 2x for snap shots in a high seat and step up to 8x for precise long-range work, all without re-zeroing your aimpoints. This variant is calibrated for crossbows shooting 425–465fps. The XB30 Zoom FFP reticle is illuminated with a horseshoe-and-crosshair pattern for close work, numbered aimpoints from 40 to 70 yards, and non-illuminated dots to 100 yards. The 30mm mono-tube chassis uses 21-layer fully multi-coated Crown glass that delivers a wide-angle field of view of 70.1ft at 100 yards on minimum power. Capped turrets with ½ MOA clicks reset easily.

Joan Jones –
I’ve used this scope on my crossbow for several months now. The 2x setting works great for quick shots at close range, and I can easily switch to 8x for longer distances. The reticle stays accurate across all magnifications, which is a big plus. The glass is clear and the adjustments are smooth. It’s a solid choice for both beginners and experienced shooters.
Simon Rees –
The scope performs well within the 425–465fps range. The illuminated reticle helps in low light, and the numbered aimpoints make it easy to estimate distances. I noticed no parallax issues during use. The turrets are easy to adjust, and the build feels durable.

I was impressed by how the first focal plane design maintains accuracy across magnifications. No need to re-zero after changing power settings. The field of view is wide enough for quick target acquisition. It’s a reliable and precise scope for crossbow hunting.
