Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32

• XB1 SR Speed Reticle Calibrated for 250–425fps Crossbows: The XB1 SR reticle is a crossbow-specific holdover system with multiple aim points calibrated for bolt trajectories across a speed range of 250fps to 425fps. At each distance marker on the reticle, the correct hold is determined by matching the crossbow's rated speed to the appropriate aim point — allowing the shooter to engage targets at multiple distances without turret adjustment between shots. The reticle is illuminated in red and green across 5 brightness levels with off positions between each step.
• Exceptionally Compact and Lightweight 1-Inch Build: At just 211 mm in length and 368 g, the XB1 1.5-5x32 is the most compact and lightest scope in the Hawke crossbow lineup — significantly shorter and lighter than the 30mm XB30 models. This makes it particularly well suited to compact crossbows, youth models, and any crossbow where rail length or total system weight is a limiting factor.
• Ultra-Wide Field of View at 1.5×: At minimum magnification, the scope delivers a field of view of 25 metres at 100 metres — one of the widest available on any crossbow scope. This provides exceptional situational awareness for tracking moving game and acquiring a fast sight picture when a crossbow is raised for a shot, which is important in hunting scenarios where the opportunity window is often brief.
• Fixed Parallax at 46 Metres with 76mm Eye Relief: The fixed parallax at 46 metres is optimised for the typical ethical hunting distances of crossbow use, removing the need for parallax adjustment in the field. The 76mm of eye relief provides clearance from the eyepiece during the crossbow's discharge impulse across a range of mounting positions.
• Capped Low-Profile Turrets with 120 MOA Adjustment: The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets provide 120 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ½ MOA click increments, protecting the zero from accidental movement during carry, cocking, and handling — important on a crossbow where the scope may be subjected to repeated mechanical stresses from the cocking process.

About the Hawke XB Series

The Hawke XB crossbow scope series is Hawke's dedicated range of optics engineered specifically for the mechanical demands and shooting characteristics of crossbow use. Crossbows generate a sharp, forward recoil impulse at discharge that differs significantly from conventional firearm recoil, requiring purpose-built optics that can handle this stress reliably over extended use — standard riflescopes are not designed for this and can fail or shift zero when used on crossbows.

All XB series models feature crossbow-specific speed reticle systems with distance holdover marks calibrated for bolt trajectories across defined speed ranges, fixed parallax optimised for typical crossbow hunting distances, and construction suited to the mechanical environment of crossbow mounting. The series spans multiple sub-series covering different price points, tube diameters, and optical system tiers: the entry-level XB1 (1-inch, H2), the XB30 (30mm, H2), the XB30 Pro (30mm, H2), and the flagship XB30 Zoom FFP (30mm, H7, first focal plane) — providing crossbow hunters with a crossbow-specific optic matched to the specification level of their crossbow and shooting style.

About the Model (Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32 SR)

The Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32 SR is the entry-level model in the Hawke crossbow scope lineup, designed for crossbow hunters who need a purpose-built crossbow optic with a speed-calibrated holdover reticle in the most compact and lightweight package available in the range. The 1.5–5× magnification range with a 3.3× zoom ratio starts from an extremely low 1.5× — delivering a field of view of 25 metres at 100 metres that is well suited to tracking game in woodland and field situations — with a 5× upper end providing adequate image detail for shot placement at the typical ethical hunting distances of crossbow use.

The 32mm objective lens, combined with the H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, delivers consistent light transmission and a clear image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 21.3 mm at 1.5× ensures a bright, accessible sight picture at minimum magnification in the low-light conditions of early morning and late evening crossbow hunts. The 76mm of eye relief provides clearance during discharge across a range of mounting positions.

The XB1 SR reticle is a second focal plane crossbow speed reticle with holdover marks calibrated for 250fps to 425fps, covering the speed range of the majority of recreational and hunting crossbows currently available. The reticle is illuminated in red and green with 5 brightness levels. The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets provide 120 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ½ MOA click increments. The fixed parallax at 46 metres suits typical crossbow hunting distances without requiring field adjustment. At 211 mm and 368 g, this is the most compact and lightweight crossbow scope in the Hawke lineup. The mono-tube is nitrogen purged and fully sealed, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance.

About Hawke

Hawke Optics is a British optics brand registered in England and Wales, with products distributed across Europe, North America, and international markets. The company produces a broad range of optical products including riflescopes, airgun scopes, crossbow scopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, red dot sights, and laser rangefinders, covering applications from hunting and precision shooting to nature observation and marine use.

Hawke organises its scope lineup into distinct optical system tiers — from the entry-level H2 through H5 to the flagship H7 — with each tier reflecting the glass specification, coating technology, and mechanical feature level of the products within it. The XB crossbow scope series is built on the H2 system for all models except the XB30 Zoom FFP, and is engineered specifically for the mechanical and optical requirements of crossbow hunting.
