when i 1st started hunting, I bought this thing called a "game tracker" it was supposed to find downed game by picking up heat sources in the woods, and flashing a series of lights when it detected something, i would have gotten more use out of blowing my nose w/ the C note i spent on it live and learn

oh, another was the peep sight eliminator, which was basically a rear sight for your bow, those didnt catch on too well.

Re. the butt out tool. I thought it might be a gimmick until I tried it. Works great!

How about the string tracking device, that if you shot it once you are suppose to change the spool. One that I tried and still have some is the 6" vane, uh, we went the other way.

I remember this crazy thing that came out back in the 70s called the Hollis Allen Arrow launching Device, weirdest thing I ever saw. It looked kinda like a bow, but the danged thing had wheels at each end! I knew it would never catch on the first time I saw it...

Been There and done that! Bought one of those about 6 years ago, shot a bull elk, it laid down and died about 100 yards away, and the thing couldn't even pick up the location of it.

Sure is a lotta expensive stuff that amounts to useless garbage out there.
