Man, y'all are a tough crowd. Honestly, it really didn't take all that long to come up with that "brainstorm" - just about 3-4 minutes last night on a commercial break during Sportscenter. Add in a minute and a half to type it out this morning, and that puts us at a grand total of five minutes. I do that stuff all day - my brain races a hundred miles an hour in 30 different directions at all times.

By the way, I'm not trying to come up with an unethical way to hunt, just throwing a random idea out there in case anyone wanted to run with it.

Like it or not, as technology and electronic components become smaller and more readily accessible, this is the kind of stuff that we're gonna see over the next twenty years. Mark my words. I remember when it was heresy to even mention the thought of using a non-aluminum arrow, or a peep sight, or a mechanical broadhead.

Wait till the price of these things comes down, and you'll REALLY see people get wound up.

As long as you could upload tetrus to the screen, I would be interested[8D]. But really, I just think I would stick to the pins.

I got one for ya Quick. How about cloaking camo? You have a camera taking an image of what's behind you. Then with your fiber optic equipped suit, transfer that image to the front, making you totally invisible. I know they're working on it with military vehicles, tanks, hummers, etc.
That would be way cooool !!

How about a laser guided arrow? You can mount the laser on your bow and the on/off button to the riser. Point the laser and let the arrow go no sights or range finder needed

All this sort of stuff is illegal in Colorado. Won't let us use anything electronic on the bow.

Geez,
I just looked this up on the Colorado Department of Natural Resources website:

3. Handheld bows
, including compound bows, using arrows equipped with a broadhead with an outside diameter or width of at least 7/8ths of an inch with no less than two steel cutting edges. Each cutting edge must be in the same plane throughout the length of the cutting surface.
a. During the archery seasons for deer, elk, pronghorn, bear, sheep, goat, and moose, only lawful hand-held bows may be used by archery license holders.
b. Bows must have a minimum draw weight of 35 pounds. The let-off percentage shall not exceed 80%.
c. No portion of the bow’s riser (handle) or any track, trough, channel, arrow rest or other device, excluding the cable(s) and bowstring, that attaches to the bow’s riser can contact, support and/or guide the arrow from a point rearward of the bow’s brace height.
d. Bows can propel only a single arrow at a time and no mechanism for automatically
loading arrows is allowed.
e. Equipment using scopes, electronic or battery-powered devices cannot be incorporated into or attached to the bow.
f. Hydraulic or pneumatic technology cannot be used to derive or store energy to propel the arrow. Explosive arrows are prohibited.
The way this reads, you can't even use the battery powered lights to illuminate your fiber optics. As to paragraph F, I wonder why they felt the need to include the prohibition of EXPLOSIVE ARROWS?

I'm talking about the arrow tracking the laser, like a laser guided bomb. Point the laser and the arrow goes to it without really aiming.
