Thank you very much Tom.I have read reviews and thoughts that you said an dI am still wondering??????

I think the technology is great. I think that its a good thing for companies to experiment and try new stuff. That said, when I picked one up and looked at it, the 6 dots all came together as one solid red fuzzy line when I was focusing on a distant target (this of course is out of package in the store, not being used on a bow, but take it for what it is). That was enough to make me put it back.

Moreover, I do not like reliying solely on electronics/batteries for a sight. If the batt quits for any reason, or any wiring etc comes loose, I have no way to sight my bow. I'd rather have some sort of traditional pin sight with a lighted back up. If the light fails, I can still use my pins normally. Sort of like illuminate crosshair rifle scopes vs. red dots. Give me an illuminated retical anyday.

Looks cheaply made to me. I wouldn't trust the "electronic" side of it in the elements.

I heard the batts die every 2 weeks or so

Neat concept. At least something innovative in the sight catagory for once. But for a retail of $160 I think I'd like some machined aluminum. Gees, it doesn't cost much to mold any kind of plastic. I guess you're paying for the engineering. And some O-rings for weatherproofing wouldn't hurt either.

Battery life shouldn't be an issue. 2032's are cheap and can be bought anywhere. I think the two week period depends on how many dots being projected and at what intesity----and that's continuous use.

If Summit would send me one to field test I would use it. Otherwise, they won't be getting my money.
